Ningalkkum Aakaam Kodeeshwaran (Malayalam: നിങ്ങൾക്കും ആകാം കോടീശ്വരൻ, transliterated: Niṅṅaḷkkuṁ ākāṁ kēāṭīśvaran), NAK or KBC Malayalam is the one of 9 Indian versions for Malayalam-speaking peoples. Aired from 2012 to 2017 on Asianet and from 2019 on Mazhavil Manorama. Hosted by Suresh Gopi. The Clock Format was used for this version's entire run
In the first two seasons, to answer questions 1-5, contestants were given 30 seconds, and to answer questions 6-10, contestants were given 45 seconds. There was no time limit for questions 11-15.
In seasons 3-5, the time limit for questions 1-5 increased to 45 seconds while the time limit to answer questions 6-10 increased to 60 seconds. Like the first two seasons, there was no time limit for questions 11-15.
Lifelines[]
In this version were these lifelines:
- 50:50 (Seasons 1-2, 4-5)
- Phone-a-Friend (all seasons)
- Audience Poll (all seasons)
- Double Dip (Season 3)
- Code Red (Seasons 3-4). This is a new lifeline which gives the opportunity for the contestant's family members to warn the contestant if they feel the answer is wrong.
