Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? ( transl. Are you smarter than someone who passed the fifth grade?) is a game show hosted by leading Bollywood actor, Shahrukh Khan. It was the Indian version of the popular American game show, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? [1] and was telecast on Indian Television channel STAR Plus. The show premiered on 25 April 2008 and the last episode was telecast on 27 July 2008 with Lalu Prasad Yadav as the special guest. The top prize was ₹5 crore (equivalent to ₹14 crore or US$1.7 million in 2023).
The Indian series was licensed by Bulldog Media & Entertainment and produced by Shreyash Srivastav
The show used "cheats" based on the American show. Each cheat may be used once per game.
Cheats are not available for use in the bonus (final) question.
The teammates were five school aged children chosen by the producers of the show. Each child could be used for assistance on two questions, excluding the bonus question.
This show also posed homework questions, offering ₹100,000 (equivalent to ₹280,000 or US$3,500 in 2023) to a viewer selected by draw who correctly answered a question asked at the end of the show.
Prize amounts | ||||||||||
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 (safe level) | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | Final Win (Bonus) |
₹10,000 | ₹20,000 | ₹50,000 | ₹1,00,000 | ₹2,00,000 | ₹5,00,000 | ₹10,00,000 | ₹20,00,000 | ₹50,00,000 | ₹1 crore | ₹5 crore |
Giving the correct answer to their fifth question guarantees the contestant leaves with at least ₹2 lakh. The contestant may walk away ("drop out") at any question after the first to end the game and keep their winnings. Only the subject of the final question is shown. This is the contestant's final opportunity to walk away with ₹1 crore. If they choose to see the final question, they will have to risk ₹98 lakh and cannot walk away or seek help from teammates.
