I dont understant y do we have to make such a fuss on the show being a copy of Are you smarter than a 5th grader. Infact its not a copy. The producers have taken the permission and paid the copyright amount inorder to produce this in India. There are a lot many shows like BIG BROTHER which are going on in so many different countries. Even American Idol runs in a lot many countries (with offcourse a diff name). I dont see any reason to shout at the concept. If we are picking up a successful show of the west and trying to produce it in India, whats harm in that. Besides such shows actually let us improve our own GK. I mean I personally didnt know a lot of questions being asked on the show. Besides such shows are a great concept than watching the same Singing Talent contents happening in every channels. Besides I feel SRK is doing a great job as an anchor. So instead of putting these shows down, I feel we should give a thumbs up, what if it was not an original idea. Infact in India everything is copied right from out food to our dresses.
I didn't like a few things about this show/ format of the show: 1. Multiple choice questions are easier to answer; & hence the audience felt more involved in KBC. 2. Some questions (e.g. 'Science') don%u2019t appear to be from 2nd grade/ 3rd grade books. 3. Clearly the kids on the show are 'hired models' - and they appear to be giving tutored answers. 4. The contestant, even after answering 4-5 questions correctly, goes back feeling embarrassed (in front of the whole nation). In KBC contestants used to take pride in the fact that they won say 5, 10 Lakh. 5. The title itself is NEGATIVE. Shahrukh has this deep rooted habit to insult everyone using his 'witty' jokes / pranks. Clearly Amitabh was much much better host - where he always used to encourage everyone like a friend/ an elderly family member.
KAPPH? the name itself boring, there is no suspense, nothing new! im giving U tips how to run show..the question should be simple but confusing, the question should tentalize the candidate to play further so that any time she/he may collapse! the could have been drama, melodies with nursery rhymes for qualifying at introduction stage, jokes could be cut any time. better try next time OK?

it will be a big failure ; like in past GOVINDA had anchored some show which became a big flop show
Please before giving your verdict about any show on TV , Pls kindly confirm in Other Countries if it a Copy or not. The Concept is not new , there's a show in US and Australian and Maybe many Other Countries "Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader". Please do some reaserch before giving your Verdicts...
