Amitabh Vs. Shahrukh and Now Shahrukh Vs. Salman!
Hosting Television shows seems to be the rage for every Bollywood star. After Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, its turn to Bollywood superstar Salman Khan to shine on the small screen. He will host a reality show ‘Dus ka Dum-Ab India Sochega Percentage Mein” on Sony Entertainment Television starting from June 6. It is reported that Salman will receive a handsome amount of Rs 89 crores for 104 episodes.
There are far too many channels and far too many reality shows going on for now. One after another, the Bollywood top stars are coming towards hosting reality shows and enetertaining the public by their gesture and presence of mind. The fashion to lure the viewres by their charm towards reality shows started with the super hit game show Kaun Banega Crorepati(KBC) hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. After that a series of reality shows hosted by top Bollywood icons started on the small screen and this give rise to a tough competition between the stars as well as the channels.
KBC was a new concept and highly appreciated by the viewers. It is successful in over 80 countries, so India moved with some degree of advantage, Star TV having tested the waters so to speak, before its launch. It was fun with knowledge. Above all it was the first time the big star came on silver screen to interact with the public directly. Hence the show rocked. Followed by Amitabh Bachchan who initially excelled the show, sequel of the show was hosted by Shahrukh Khan. Of course, people compared the two hosts of the same game show.
Recently Shahrukh Khan’s show Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hain? is aired on star plus getting appreciation from the public. Compared to KBC which had questions on General and day to day topics with 4 options panchvi paas is a tough nut to crack. In KBC, each correct answer moves the contestant higher up the ladder of money values which ended with Rs. 1 Crore for the last right answer. SRK’s new show is based on the international Mark Burnett format Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader‘in which grade-school level questions are put to adults. Similar ladder is their in this show. If a contestant answers all 10 questions correctly, he is given the chance to answer an 11th question which on answering correctly will get him Rupees 5 Crore.
Though shahrukh is quite sincere in his efforts but the show has low TV ratings comparitive to KBC and Salman’s new show is going to start will give a tough answer to this show. The Sony show is expected to kick off the show on an around the same time as King Khan will come on Star Plus.
The biggest factor of low TRP of “Panchvi pass…” can be credited to ongoing IPL matches also. The show is aired at 8 pm, the same time when the match is stars. IPL is getting very popular in India as it is cricket mixed with entertainment. It’s tough to lure the eyeballs away from this extravaganza.
Salman is all set to host his show to give a tough competition to King Khan. ‘Dus Ka Dum’ is based on an American game show Power of 10 hosted by Drew Carey. The contestants will have to ’think’ like India. A question would be asked, the answer to which would be the average percentage of a mass opinion poll conducted across India. The correct guess of the answer in accordance with the collective opinion of India, they would start winning from a starting amount of ten thousand rupees. Answering five questions correctly would get the contestant to the magical figure of 10 crores.
Talking about Salman for his upcoming show, a source told Mumbai Mirror, “Although many people consider him rude and eccentric, Salman has often revealed the compassionate side of his personality without making a song and dance about it. Apart from the content which promises to be mind-blowing, this kind-hearted quality of Salman is what is expected to see the show through.”
The three stars are fighting for the small screen viewers. What you people think? Who will win the small screen fight? Which one would you like…? Amitabh, Shahrukh or Salman?

I am a big fan of bollywood badshah. He is all time rules bollywood.
He’s already rocking
Shahrukh is only badshah of stealing ladies in the movies u name it and he has done it in all his movies and whether the ladies were engaged or having affair with others he only steals ladies in the movies and it got worse when he tried to steal a married lady in kabhi alvida na kahna so badshah is only badshah of ladies not of bollywood!
on the other hand salman’s dus ka dum is quiet better than any anchoriing show of the so called badshah!
Both khans look laloo ,panjoo in front of Big B. Main thing Screen presence which required for Reality shoes, It only with Mr. Bachhan in Bolywood. apart from that Communucation & Dialogue dilevery is the strenght of Big B.

amitabh and salman r the real superstars of bollywood, shahrukh is a dog.
amitabh had got great voice, great height while salman has got handsome looks and a great body. while shahrukh has nothing.shahrukh looks like a monkey.
if shahrukh stops paying money to the judges then he will never get an award and even a nomination for an award.becoz shahrukh has nothing. shahrukh is a dog
shahrukh is bullshit
sonia chillax…who has paid you to judge SRK…

salman is better than shahrukh khan
salma is the best & biggest star in the world because he is only star who never work for big baners.
i am not going to write my opinion here because i do believe there a lot of guy had post more than one for salman khan. Just see and ask the world who is the best. King is king, He got a lot of fan all over the world. In USA/UK he is more than 80% popular than any indian. Feel sad for you all.
