It's hosted by Amitabh Bachchan.

This season had clock: 30 seconds (questions 1-4) and 60 seconds (questions 5-8). On questions 9-15, clock disappeared.

Lifelines

It is a clock format where there were five lifelines in the game.

• 50:50
• Phone a Friend
• Audience Poll
• Switch the Question
• Power Paplu: This lifeline indicates that the contestant can use any lifeline previously used for the second time.

In this season, a contestant could choose 4 out of the 5 lifelines.
