KBC has been hit from the very first season and not without reason. Amitabh Bachachan has been able to carry on its shoulders, though
one of it is broken. This we learnt only yesterday when a special 2 hour KBC was shown. This special episode was aired to promote the
last Yash Chopra direction, Jab Tak Hai Jaan.
The guests in SRK and Kat were simply out of the world. To put it simply, even the actual movie would not be such an entertainer as
much as the special episode. If this episode is released in theatres, it would certainly make a giant killing. And why not? Especially when
the star cast brags of such big names.
In the curtain raiser, Kat took the centre stage and invited AB and SRK from the audience. All three of them danced to Shava Shava. And
then AB asked Kat to announce the opening lines of KBC in Hindi, "Punch Koti...".
If the start was so good, so was the Question Answer session, where SRK and Kat had friendly banters. They could garner 25 lakh
rupees which would be evenly shared by Kat's mother's foundation for poor girls and SRK is contributing it to a special Cancer Centre at
the Nanavati Hospital. With such noble intentions, the show had to triumph.
Though the questions were a mixed bag of being easy and difficult, the cast ensured constant humour. They even danced to Gangnam
style, about which SRK shared very interesting information with the audience.
The highlight was when AB and SRK mimicked and acted to the other's dialogue. And then the bone of contention was Don's dialogue as
they both wanted to own it.
Kat and SRK danced to 'Saans' song from JTHJ.
If they are good actors, AB, SRK and Kat showed that they are even bigger showpersons. They kept the attention of the audience riveted
till the end.
If Indians didn't have Bollywood, I wonder what would they have sustained on?
