Each episode’s winner earns a modest rupees one lakh, while those manage to get to the red seat (where sits the Bollywood Ka Boss) pocket Rs 10,000 for each query, correctly answered. Every episode will send two semi-finalists who will all compete in the end for the final jackpot of Rs 50 lakh.

But the icing on the cake is undoubtedly host Boman Irani. Here comes a host, who not only sports his fan like attachment to Bollywood with élan, but also uses it to create some genuine moments of celebration, never mind the kitsch. So if you have him popping forth as a bridegroom in one episode, a character he rues he will never get to play in the films that always limit him to dad portrayals, in another, there’s a mellowed down Irani singing a patriotic song to ample tug effect. He endears and entertains like a performer, apart from the liberal jadu ki jhappis doled out to exiting participants.

However, the only thing that beats me at the moment is the quiz’s over reliance on recent Bollywood in a show that aims to celebrate the whole gamut from the classic to the contemporary with most of the questions limited to post 2000 releases only. Hopefully, as the levels toughen so will the depth of knowledge quotient on test. But then as they say, there’s no middle path in quizzing – if you know the answer, its easy, if you don’t then its tough.
