Kaun Banega Crorepati: Big B's small-screen gamble 25 years ago
(NOTE: This article was originally published in the India Today issue dated July 17, 2000)"Who was the vice-captain of the Indian cricket team for the 1983 World Cup?" As Amitabh Bachchan's deep voice throws up the poser, Mohinder Amarnath's name crosses her mind. But Divya Nair asks herself a more pertinent question. What if I am wrong? If she is, she stands to lose Rs 70,000. So, isn't it prudent to let the question pass? After all, Rs 80,000 in hand after getting eight questions right is better than hazarding a Rs 1.6 lakh guess on the ninth. So she decides to play safe and quits under the spotlight, happy that a chance entry into a "game" was worth the while. advertisementFor Nair, Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) may have been just a game, an hour of prime-time fame. But for Star TV and for superstar host Bachchan, it is the biggest gamble ever. It's also the biggest ever show mounted on Indian television. On air for four days a week, for 32 weeks, it has captured the Indian fancy like few other shows have. And though programmes like Close-up Antakshari clocked in record levels of participation, never has so much been at stake before. At Rs 1 crore, the show's prize money is also the highest ever offered on the small screen in India. The talking point across the nation, KBC has got all the critical ingredients: the mystique of a superstar, thrilling drama and the lure of big bucks. More to the point, the kinetics of karma or chance that guides India's huddled masses. As Siddharth Basu, the man behind the questions, points outs, "It is not just another quiz game. It's really about human drama. About hope and disappointment." Anyone from anywhere can win a jackpot, become a star. A PCO operator from Kapurthala, a farmer from Bulandshahr, a cloth salesman from Bangalore, a civil engineer from Delhi, a teacher from Mumbai—they have all shared the limelight with Bachchan. Besides walking away with thousands or even Rs 25 lakh like Ramesh Kumar Arora did. It's part of Star's well-thought-out strategy. After starting off as a market leader in satellite television, Star has simply squandered its first-mover advantage and vacated prime space to the competition. Presently, 33.6 million homes are estimated to have cable and satellite connections in India. Compared to the other two big players Zee and Sony, Star's viewership and ad revenues are the lowest. While Sony made Rs 453 crore from advertisements in 1999-2000 and Zee Rs 400 crore, Star TV came a poor third with Rs 292.5 crore. Also, ratings of the top 50 TV shows by INTAM reveal that only three belong to Star—Saans, Kora Kagaz and Tu Tu Main Main—while Zee tops with 32 shows and Sony 12. When it comes to the top 10 too, Zee is the clear winner with nine programmes (Amanat, Koshish, Mehndi Tere Naam Ki, Yeh Hain Mere Apne, Raahein, Aashirwaad, Muskaan, Sri Krishna and Vishnupuran). Sony has one—Heena—and Star none. advertisementUnlike Zee and Sony, Star has been seen as an upmarket channel catering only to the English-speaking elite. Worse, the channel is facing increasing competition from new entrants like SABe, B4U, Sahara and others who are nudging in to make a place for themselves on the prime band. It was clear to Star that the stables had to be cleaned and new stallions found. As Sumantra Datta, senior vice-president, advertising and sales, puts it, "The channel realised that it needed a unique differentiator. A killer programme with killer content." KBC fit the bill. By setting it up to draw in viewers at the 9 p.m. slot, Star Plus is not simply looking at one show but at the channel as a brand. KBC, licensed from UK-based Celedor who holds the rights to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, has been a hit across 26 countries. In the Indian context, the added firepower is the presence of Bachchan who was critical to the strategy. Also, the questions have been deliberately kept tame to cater to a wider Cover Story spectrum of viewers. While the quality of the sets are truly international, the show's conduct, language and idiom are aimed at drawing everyone from the CEO to the chowkidar. advertisementWhether it is the audience the show targets or the specifics it entails, KBC is all about scale. The sets are spread across 41,000 sq ft in Mumbai's Film City and includes the programme area, a cafeteria for participants, the audience and the crew, an Austrian chalet for Bachchan and a catwalk with scaffolding for 350 lights. The reflective paper is from Hong Kong, the acrylic from the US. Says Nitin Desai who designed the set: "It's absolutely Hollywood style." The grandness of it all strikes one at the entry level itself. There are 570 telephone lines in four cities which participants can access to win a chance to be on the show. Till date, with 12 episodes in the can, over 30 lakh aspirants have called the numbers listed at an astounding over two lakh callers per day. For this Monday's show, 3,17,962 people called between May 27 and May 30. The computer randomly selects 100 callers who are then quizzed by Basu's team. Ten of them are shortlisted and then flown to Mumbai along with a partner each and put up at the plush Raheja Condos at Powai. While the winners do get to fly back with cheques, even the losers don't really lose out. They get to meet the Big B and, of course, a Warholian shot at stardom. advertisementThe gamble is obviously costing Star TV a fortune. It will end up spending Rs 20 crore just on advertising in the electronic and print media. At the end of 130 episodes, an estimated Rs 75 crore would have been spent—that's around Rs 58 lakh per episode—a sum close to Star TV's programming budget in 1999-2000 and nearly half that of the current year's. Significantly, till date Indian television had reserved 9 p.m. for fiction. KBC is the first non-fiction show to make it to the 9 p.m. slot. If the show clicks, it would be the first programme to break through the voodoo of fiction. It will, in that sense, redefine the perceptions of programming on Indian television. Star insiders point to how Zee is making a feeble attempt to mirror KBC with its Jackpot Jeeto though Zee's Richa Sharma says it is part of the channel's interactive strategy for the 7.30 p.m. band. "We have no worries," she adds. "Nine out of the top 10 programmes are ours." A senior programme executive with a newly launched channel feels Star is focusing on the competition instead of its own programming. Tripti Sharma, head of programming at Zee, agrees: "We have the goodwill of the masses. Over 30 programmes in the top 50 list belong to Zee. How many do the others have? Experimentation cannot bring the magic of entertainment." advertisementCall it experiment, call it strategy. The fact is that business is all about bottom lines. To recover the money spent, Star is targeting to sell a maximum of 10 minutes advertising time in every hour-long episode. It expects to recover Rs 15 lakh a minute which adds up to Rs 1.5 crore an episode and a grand total of Rs 195 crore for the 130 episodes. Considering that the entire expenditure on KBC is Rs 75 crore, that makes Star TV the real crorepati with a profit of Rs 120 crore. Already Star has four sponsors —Colgate Palmolive, LG, Bajaj and Dettol—who have committed Rs 30 crore for the first 13 weeks. But it may become difficult for STAR to command the current ad rates—Rs 2.5 lakh per 10 seconds—for long. Especially since its rivals charge much less: Sony's most popular programme Heena gets Rs 1.3 lakh and Zee's Amanat commands Rs 1.2 lakh for 10 seconds. But adds Sumantra Datta, senior vice-president (advertising and sales), Star TV, "The response is terrific and beyond our expectations." And Datta isn't kidding. Says Arun Nanda, CEO, Rediff DY&R, on why Bajaj went in for the slot: "We could not afford to miss it. The product apart, Bachchan is legend. And in the unique programme, even the man who becomes a crorepati ends up a legend." But given the high stakes, this is a gamble. KBC may have broken the ratings games last Monday as the initial figures show—according to INTAM, 41 per cent of the total universe of cable and satellite-connected homes tuned in were watching KBC, as compared to 9.5 per cent who had tuned in to Sony and 7.5 per cent to Zee. There is a caveat to this success though. Neither Zee's Hudd Kar Di (8.55 p.m.) nor Sony's Aurat (9 p.m.) could challenge a first-day Bachchan show. Then again, the show's novelty could well wear off. Bachchan's charisma may not last 130 episodes. As a young mother pointed out, "We can't watch the show every day because children cannot take its sombre, dark mood." Adds a senior advertising professional: "The questions are too populist, the pace too slow. The number of times Bachchan is talking to himself and the participant is jarring." Star TV CEO Peter Mukerjea, however, claims KBC will lift the benchmark of quality in programming. To regain its Numero Uno status, Star also knows KBC is only one way out. Determined not to let Zee enter the sports arena, Star managed to edge the channel out in the $550 million bid for the World Cup cricketing rights. It is also working on cutting Zee's movie muscle. A core team of officials is working overtime to build a library of the best Hindi film titles for Star Box Office, the movie channel which will flank Star Movies to woo movie buffs. Says Sameer Nair, senior vice president, programming: "We obviously don't want people to switch on to Star only between 9 and 10 p.m. We will have top quality serials to keep the viewer hooked. A rehaul is in the process." But for now, Star is banking on KBC. The show may have cost them a lot in terms of effort and money but if it holds out, the gamble would have paid off. For Bachchan too, it would spell a long-awaited revival. After all, to steal a line from another Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan, "Jo haarke jeete use baazigar kehte hain (A man who wins even in defeat is a gambler)." Bachchan and Mukerjea may just turn out to be the baazigars of showbiz in India. —With Natasha Israni Subscribe to India Today Magazine- Ends

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne biopic: Sony takes final call on film after rock legend's passing
'SHARONNNNN…they could not finish our f--ing movie before I f--ing kicked the bucket!' - probably Ozzy Osbourne in heaven (or hell). An Osbourne biopic is reportedly in the works, that will document Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's lives in the years between 1979 and 1999.(AP) Sony Pictures is charging ahead with the much-anticipated biopic chronicling the legendary life of Ozzy Osbourne and the fierce, rollercoaster love story he shared with his wife, Sharon Osbourne. First announced in 2021, this cinematic tribute aims to capture the epic highs and chaotic lows of one of rock's most iconic couples. Polygram Entertainment confirmed that Sony is currently negotiating with a director, with an official announcement expected soon. Meanwhile, Lee Hall is still attached as screenwriter, ensuring the Osbourne story stays authentic and true to its roots. Also Read | Ozzy Osbourne's final occupation revealed in death certificate Bringing the Osbournes to the big screen The Osbourne family remains deeply involved in the project, with Sharon and their children Jack and Aimee set to produce alongside top executives from Polygram and Sony. The biopic will cover the turbulent years between 1979 and 1999 - an era marked by wild antics, heartbreak, and an unbreakable bond fueled by 'undying love,' as Sharon once put it. Casting ideas have sparked some lively debates: Sharon is keen on Florence Pugh to play her, while Jack humorously suggested Bill Hader for Ozzy - earning a legendary 'F--k off' from the Prince of Darkness himself. Also Read | Kelly Osbourne pays bold tribute to father Ozzy days after his funeral - Watch 'I wanna be alive to f--ing see (the film)' In a candid moment during a 2024 episode of The Osbournes Podcast, Ozzy gave a brutally honest update on the film's progress, saying, 'By the time they finish this film, I'll be dead. I wanna be alive to f--king see it.' Sharon added with a wry smile, 'Movies take forever to make.' Sadly, Ozzy passed away on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76, but his epic story and legendary love with Sharon will live on in theaters worldwide. For fans craving more, the upcoming documentary No Escape From Now will premiere later this year, offering an intimate look at Ozzy's recent health struggles and his dream of one final farewell concert. Rock and roll may be unpredictable, but the Osbourne legacy is here to stay.
