Language & Genre: Only valid, recognizable Bollywood/Hindi film songs are permitted. Ghazals, pop albums, or regional language songs are disqualified unless agreed upon beforehand.
Minimum Length: Teams must sing at least the first two lines (Mukhda) of the song clearly.
No Repetitions: A song sung once cannot be repeated by any team at any point during the entire competition.
Time Constraint: Teams have exactly 10 seconds to start singing once their cue begins. Failing to do so counts as a pass or a missed turn.
Audience Decorum: Any prompting or shouting from the audience will result in immediate disqualification of that song or a penalty for the receiving team.
Judges' Verdict: The host and judges' decision on song validity, correct wording, and timing is final and binding.
Format: The traditional round. The host kicks off the game with the classic verse: "Baithé baithé kya karé, karna hai kuch kaam..." requiring the first team to start with the letter "M" (म).
Gameplay: Every subsequent team must start their song using the last phonetic letter/consonant of the final word sung by the previous team.
Timing: 10 seconds to start singing.
Scoring: +10 points for a correct song. No negative marking in this opening round.
Format: Testing the contestants' quick recall of lyrics based on specific vocabulary.
Gameplay: The host gives a specific keyword (e.g., Dil, Deewana, Baarish, Chandi, Sheesha). The team must instantly sing a song where that exact word appears within the very first two lines.
Timing: 10 seconds to respond.
Scoring: +10 points for a correct match. -5 points for singing a song where the word appears late or is missing entirely.
Format: A fast-paced buzzer round designed to gauge deep Bollywood knowledge.
Gameplay: The tech crew plays a 5-to-10-second clip of either an instrumental Dhun (melody track) or a completely silent video clip of a song. Teams must hit the buzzer to identify it.
Rule: The team that hits the buzzer first must not only name the movie/actors but must actively sing the song’s opening lines.
Scoring: +20 points for a successful buzzer claim and performance. -10 points for hitting the buzzer and giving an incorrect guess or failing to sing.
Format: Team synergy, acting skills, and final performance execution combined.
Gameplay: One member of the team comes to the stage and draws a movie title or specific iconic song from a bowl. They must silently enact the title for their teammate using only hand gestures and expressions (no lip-syncing or drawing letters in the air).
The Twist: Once the teammate successfully guesses the movie/song title within 60 seconds, the entire team must instantly sing a hit track belonging to that specific movie to secure full points!
Scoring: +15 points total (10 points for guessing the movie right + 5 points for performing the song correctly).
