The show, which starts Wednesday, has been adapted from an internationally acclaimed show called Moment of Truth, which also has a huge fan following in India. From nail biting anxiety to answers that will almost have you fall off your chairs, the show has kept the bout of anxiety high with each contestant. While the Hindi version will be hard hitting as contestants boldly share their bitter truths, the show has been crafted keeping in mind the Indian sensibilities.
Taking the contestants through this assertive roller coaster ride, the host Rajeev Khandelwal encourages contestants to keep their calm while supporting them through their emotional journey. At the end, the game rewards honesty by testing the nerve, resilience and integrity of a contestant. The show is an attempt to bring about a positive change by helping the contestants shed their baggage and lead a significantly better life.
Commenting on the launch of the show Mr. Keertan Adyanthaya, GM and EVP,

The participants are selected after the research team has done a psycho-analysis of personality type and their past. They go through three tests and interviews before reaching the polygraph test. In the test, participants are put on the hot seat and asked 50 questions in a row and are given 25 seconds to answer each.
The family of the contestant collectively has a ****on in front of them, which can stop a question from being answered at anytime, but it can be used only once by the group. If the ****on is pushed, that question is removed and a replacement question takes its place
The authenticity of the contestants’ responses is determined by a polygraph examination and the right answers are not known to anyone, neither the production house, the host or even the channel. The questions are broken into six levels with a prize money at each level for an ultimate cash prize of Rs. 1 crore and with each passing level questions get tougher, more personal and increasingly edgy.
Contestants can decide to stop at any time and leave the show; at that point they will win the amount of the last level successfully completed provided they haven’t heard the next question to be asked. If the contestant lie at any level, he/she loses all the money and will be out of the show.
