Big FM launches musical game show 'Big Antakshari' with host Annu Kapoor

Bringing back the classic musical game format, Big FM has launched a new game show Big Antakshari with the host Annu Kapoor, for the first time on radio.

The show will premiere its first episode on-air on July 21, Fridays and Saturdays between 8 pm – 9 pm, across 52 stations of the radio network.

Big FM said that keeping the engagement quotient high, Big Antakshari will offer power-packed entertainment to the audiences through different aspects such as music, nostalgia, film trivia, gamification, active and passive participation and mega prizes.

The format of the show will see three teams – Bank of Baroda Deewane, Bank of Baroda Parwaane and Bank of Baroda Mastaane - who will compete with each other in an epic showdown every week with their talent and passion.

Sunil Kumaran, COO, Big FM, said, "We are thrilled to bring BIG Antakshari to our listeners, fulfilling their demand for this iconic game show. The game is not only immensely enjoyed by people across India but its popularity also extends to the entire Indian sub-continent and with NRIs. Collaborating with the legendary Annu Kapoor has always been an absolute privilege and a testament to our longstanding successful partnership. The game format cuts across age groups and resonates well with young audiences as well who have often relied on timeless classics while playing. With this show, we reaffirm our commitment to delivering captivating content that provides a complete audio entertainment experience.”

Annu Kapoor shared, “I am elated to be a part of the iconic show that has united fans over decades. Antakshari has been an incredible journey for me, creating wonderful memories and connecting with fans in a special way. My association with BIG FM goes back a long way as we have worked on some remarkable shows and campaigns together and this is yet another step forward in cementing our association. With engaging content, nostalgic tunes, and the enthusiasm of our listeners, BIG Antakshari promises to be a delightful experience that is sure to bring fans and families together”.

Presented by Bank of Baroda and with LIC of India as an Insurance Partner, Big Antakshari will see the three selected teams engage in a fierce battle over four rounds. The rounds will start with the normal Akshar Round to the challenging Word Round, followed by the Visual Round and finally the Dhun Round. Beyond the main rounds, Big Antakshari offers a range of activities, including on-air auditions, ‘Dhun Pakad Ke Toh Dekho’ contests and song mash-up capsules.

As part of the show, an interesting concept of ‘Theatre-of-the-mind’, is an on-ground and digital engagement for fans and participants where a situation is described and people have to guess the song that is being referred to. Users can also visit bigfmindia.com to play along and win prizes
