Classic Indian Gaming TV Shows That We all Want to Comeback


Indian television is a witness to a palette of flavours and seasons of popular shows from family drama, mythological shows, quiz contests, and reality TV shows. The not-so-idiot box has served us all and comprised of a major part of our childhood (those born in the 90s).

A late Sunday brunch, circle time with family, and those amazing game shows on TV; weekends couldn’t get any better. How most of us secretly wish to just relive being hooked to those amazing game shows? Those were the good old days of satellite cable when DTH connection wasn’t even born yet. If you own a DTH connection and are relocating to another place, you can call up for Dish TV home pick service for easy relocation of your set-top box.

Best Indian TV Game Shows

Bournvita Quiz Contest

Bournvita Quiz Contest – the most popular ever quiz show on Indian television! As a vivid childhood memory, some of us must have been compared by our parents with the super-brainy kids on that show. There were questions based on science, history, literature, and general knowledge. There couldn’t have been a better quiz show host than Derek o’Brien.

Saanp Seedi (Snakes n Ladders)

This was, perhaps, the first ever India TV game show that wasn’t inspired by any American TV show. The show’s format was based on the indoor version of the popular indoor board game, Snakes and Ladders. The show was an instant hit and Mohan Kapur, its awesome host became a household name. Don’t we all miss watching that show with our heartbeats racing up and down.

Khullja Sim Sim

A Limca Book of Records show, Khullja Sim Sim first aired in 2001 and every household dreamt of appearing on the show to crack big luck and loads of surprising gifts. Hosted by Aman Verma, this show garnered immense popularity on television and became a weekend regular in every Indian household. Its last season was telecasted back in 2012.

Though some of the game shows playing now on TV are supremely innovative. Check with your DTH service provider on how to choose channels, in case you need assistance.

Deal Ya No Deal

Indian adaption of an extremely popular UK game show, Deal ya no Deal was hosted by Bollywood celebrity, R. Madhavan. The show was loved by millions of India families as the contestants were put on a spot to choose among two tricky options. Though the show just ran for four seasons, its popularity lingered on for a long time; proof is the arcade games with the same format.

Antakshari

The first season of India’s finest ever musical game show and hosts Annu Kapoor and Pallavi Joshi became overnight stars! Such was the humungous popularity of the most loved music-based tv show in India. The show had a similar format as the classic antakshari game where the participants have to take a cue from the last word of the song sung by their opponent and have to start the song by that word. Fun, musical, and warm – we all still miss it!
