Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi ([You too can win One Crore] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)), officially abbreviated as NVOK,[1] is an Indian game show, hosted by film actor Suriya Sivakumar. It is the official Tamil language adaptation of the internationally-renowned Sony Pictures Television-owned game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and its successful Hindi adaptation Kaun Banega Crorepati.[2] Since its inaugural episode on 27 February 2012,[3] the first season of the show was aired on STAR Vijay until 12 July 2012 and went on to feature celebrity guests as participants as well.[4]

Background

In April 2011, reports suggested that actor Prakash Raj would host the licensed Tamil edition of the Hindi game show Kaun Banega Crorepati, which was then tentatively titled Ungalil Yaar Kodeeswaran.[5] However, it was later confirmed that actor Suriya would be the host, and the show was reportedly "the first international format to hit the Tamil television screens",[6] although the first international game show to be aired in Tamil was actually Deala No Deala, the Tamil spin-off of Deal or No Deal, which aired on Sun TV for a brief period of time in 2009-2010.[7][8]

The title of Kaun Banega Crorepati's Tamil version was later confirmed as Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi. Suriya was initially apprehensive as the show marked his television debut, but after seeing the game format, he was "convinced it would work".[6] Suriya was agreed to be paid ₹50 lakh (US$60,000) per episode. 40 episodes were planned for Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi, and the actor was paid a remuneration of ₹20 crore (US$2.4 million).[9] Prior to Suriya, actor Vijay was reportedly the first choice to host the reality game show. He however declined the offer, in regard to the then Mullaperiyar Dam disputes.[10]

Game rules

Registering

First of all, 2–3 months before the show starts, a question is asked on television and users have to answer that question in order to come on that show, only a selected contestants are selected and come on the show. The contestants must undergo an initial round of "Fastest Finger First", in which the host introduces the ten contestants of the episode and asks them all the same question. The contestants must then arrange the answers in the order described in the question. The contestant that places the four options in the correct order in the fastest time gets the chance to go on the "hotseat".

All contestants must be over the age of 18 and a citizen and resident of India in order to be eligible. The person must not be a former contestant of the show and must be able to converse well in English or Tamil languages.[11]

Show format

Each player will be asked fifteen questions, the prizes starting at ₹1,000 (US$12) and leading up to ₹1 crore (US$120,000). The first five questions are considered to be relatively easy. The player has 30 seconds per question. The second five are relatively harder. The time limit for these are 45 seconds per question. The final five are considered to be the most difficult hard and become increasingly more so. These have no timer. Ten short-listed contestants play a "Fastest Finger First" question which requires them to place four events, names or similar details in the correct order. The contestant who gives the correct answer first, plays the main game first. There can be, and generally is, more than one player per episode.[12]

The show's host asks each contestant a number of multiple-choice questions. Of the four options only one is correct. Players answer correctly to win an amount of money. They are then shown the next question and four answers. Successive questions are worth a greater sum of money. In most cases this is double the previous sum. Players who answer question numbers five and ten correctly find themselves in a situation where their winnings are "safe". This means they will not lose their winnings under any circumstances. This allows the players to hazard a guess for question six and question eleven. Players answering a question incorrectly are eliminated from the game and their winnings go back to the previous "safe" amount. If the contestant was in the process of answering questions one to five, the safe amount would be zero; for those answering questions six to ten, the safe amount will be ₹10,000 (US$120), and for questions eleven to fifteen, it will be ₹320,000 (US$3,800). Players can decide to stop at any time, after seeing the next question, and take the winnings they have accumulated up to that point.[12]

The lifelines

For assistance, the contestant can use one, two or all three "lifelines" at any time during the game. Contestants can use a lifeline when they are undecided which answer is correct. A contestant can use each lifeline only once. He can also use all lifelines on one question.[12][11]

  • 50-50: When the player chooses this lifeline, the host tells the computer to randomly eliminate two of the "wrong" answers. This will leave one right answer and one randomly selected wrong answer.
  • Audience Poll: The host repeats the question to the studio audience. When requested, the audience must now press a button in front of them within ten seconds to indicate which option they think is correct answer. The computer then displays the results as a percentage to help the player make a choice.
  • Phone A Friend: With this lifeline, the player may call one of up to three pre-arranged friends and ask for help. The host calls the player's friend and introduces him/her to the viewers. The question is only read out by the contestant to the phone friend once the host allows him or her to. The phone friend has 30 seconds to answer.

Reception

Initial reception to Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi was generally positive, and the show eventually garnered a large viewership. However, it was criticized for asking players questions that were thought to be of lower-than-usual difficulty. K. Sriram, channel head of Vijay TV later pointed out that "the questions were not silly, the options were mocking. The feedback we got was: Don't mock your own questions. We've taken it as constructive feedback and put it to the Big Synergy team".[32] Difficulty level of questions became more accepted among the public, in later episodes.[1]
