The Moment of Truth..

Who will steal the concept? Who will bring it to India? Will be able to see another slumdog millionaire in the next few years? Will it be a new kid on the block, or some famous production house or the guys who claim to have the best sense of humor in film industry?

Today I watched the TV game show “Moment of Truth” for the first time and the first thought that came to my mind is that who will steal this concept because it looks like a crowd puller. The show simulates a lie detecting environment and you have to answer questions on your personal life in front of your family members. And these questions are not the comfortable ones but actually will involve lot of grilling and the worse thing is that you can’t even refuse to sit on the lie detecting machine. Another popular show "Hole in the Wall" is already 'adapted' and Syrus is hosting it in Hindi. I am wondering why 'Moment of Truth' which will enter its second season is not copied yet? Maybe, somebody is planning big for it. "Ismein aisa kya daal doon ki show mera ho jaye" type.

The moment you refuse to answer any question, you are out. It is an interesting game show with lots of drama and I am sure that if some of the so called intellectuals from our film industry are watching this show then they must be salivating too hard. This is really one show where there is lot of scope to dramatize things. And mirch masala is something we all love. More about the format is here.

So let’s wait for the show to be presented in India and I am damn sure the funniest question will be for the producer/director “This show is your original concept?” I am sure that there are many filmmakers here who can fail the lie detector with their confidence. So let’s wait for it. To put it more aptly, let's wait for the "Moment of Truth".
