Photos/Videos/New Host/Episodes: 10 Ka Dum 3

[welcomewiki]

10 Ka Dum is a reality show for the masses. The show provides the contestant a perfect opportunity to win Rs.10 crores. And the best part is that to win Rs.10 crores, one doesn’t need to be special. One needs to be common. Common? Yes, common. The one who thinks like the common man of India, wins. To win, the contestant has to judge the approximate percentage of people who responded to a question in a particular manner.

The questions on the show are based on a survey carried out amongst the people of India. The questions deal with our daily life.
E.g. Kitne % Indian aadmi apni biwi ka birthday bhoolte hain?

To win, the contestant simply has to judge the approximate percentage of people, who forget their wives birthdays. As a contestant goes further in the game, his guesses have to become more accurate to win. Also, the show is not just about winning, but it is also about having fun. And with a host like Salman Khan, fun can never be far away. So, India get ready to win!

Sanjay Dutt to anchor Dus Ka Dum 3?

Speculation is rife that Sanjay Dutt has been approached to anchor season 3 of Dus Ka Dum on Sony ,replacing the show’s previous host Salman Khan. The supposed reason is Khan’s fee ,reportedly 2.5 crore per episode as opposed to Rs.89 thousand for 104 episodes back in 2008 when the show was launched.

10 Ka Dum (Hindi for "Power of 10") is an Indian version of the popular international reality game show Power of 10, and airs on Sony Entertainment Television (India). The show is hosted by popular Bollywood actor Salman Khan. According to reports, the show helped Sony TV regain its third position in the Indian television ratings.

Game rules

The Game consists of two different rounds:
1^st Round: in the first round, 2 Contestants compete against each other in a best three-out-of-five format in which they are asked a 'Poll Question' and asked to provide a whole percentage number that most closely approximates the exact survey poll answer for the question. The contestant whose answers' are closest to the poll results for 3 out of 5 national survey questions wins the 'First-Round'. The Contestant who loses is then eliminated from the game.

2^nd Round: the Contestant who wins the first-round plays the game to win up to Rs. 10,00,00,000/- (10 Crore Rupees) by trying to correctly approximate the survey's results within a narrowing percentage range for up to 4 poll questions. In this round, the contestant was given similar questions, and placed a range on a scale from 0% to 100% that included the correct answer (for example, if the answer was 53%, then the contestant's range must have included 53%). The size of the range decreased as the money values increased:

• Rs.10,000 question: 40% range
• Rs.1,00,000 question: 30% range
• Rs.10,00,000 question: 20% range
• Rs.1,00,00,000 question: 10% range
• Rs.10,00,00,000 question: You have to pick a number

For the first 3 poll questions, the correct answer to the question was revealed once the contestant locked-in an answer by pulling down a lever. For the 4th question of Rs.1,00,00,000, the correct answer was revealed only-if the contestant's range missed the question. And if the question was answered correctly, the contestant was then given the chance to win Rs.10,00,00,000 by picking the exact percentage (rounded to the nearest 1%) out of that 10% range (11 choices in all). In addition, the Contestant has the opportunity to consult with his/her designated supporter before deciding whether to Lock-In a response at the Rs.10,00,00,000 prize level. Also, as with the lower prize levels, the Contestant may elect to take the walk-away prize for the Rs.10,00,00,000 (Ten Crore Rupees) prize level i.e. Rs. 10,00,000 (Ten Lakhs Rupees) and terminate the game prior to locking in a response. However, if the contestant decides to lock in a response, the response cannot be changed, and the Contestant no longer has the option of taking the walk-away prize of Rs.1,00,00,000 (One Crore Rupees). If the contestant locks in a response, the survey result for the poll question is than revealed. If the survey's result is exactly the same as the Contestant’s response, the Contestant is than awarded Rs.10,00,00,000 (Ten Crore Rupees). But, if the survey's result is not exactly the same as the Contestant’s response, the Contestant will be awarded Rs.10,00,000 (Ten Lakhs Rupees).

Unlucky Aamir

Aamir Khan appeared on the July 4th episode. The 1 Crore question he was asked was: What percentage of Indian men think they are more intelligent than women? He dialed in a range between 51% and 61%. The correct answer was in the range, thus he won 1 Crore. He quit the show and didn't gamble for 10 Crore, but dialed in a guess of 57%. The exact percentage to the question was indeed 57%, so he would've won the jackpot of 10 Crore had he played on.
