    MUMBAI: The ‘Ghante Ki Tuning Jamegi’ contest on SaharaOne has been overloaded with excited callers, claims the channel!

    “The simplicity in format and the instant reward was so strong that the exchange has crashed due to the caller overload. So much so that the contest had to be taken off air due the exchange crash. Now, isn’t that some response we are talking about,” an official release says.

    According to the release, the winners thus far have been from all across the country. There are Amit Puri and Yasmeen Khan from Mumbai, Brijesh Kumar Sahoo from MP, Kusumlata Sharma, Sunil Kumar Gambhir and Sumanlata Rana from Delhi, Jaspreet Brar and Yashpal Garg from Punjab, Jatin Kaushik from Rajasthan, Mani Kant from Haryana and Monalisa Sinha from Bikaner and Rajivkumar Sharma from Ghaziabad among others.

    The channel stars have also shown keen interest to cheer the participants and the winners of SaharaOne Ghante Ki Tuning Jamegi. Shruti Ulfat, Resham Seth, Himani Shivpuri, Sejal Shah, Loveleen Mishra, Ayub Khan, Jyoti Mukherji and a whole horde of stars were there to declare the winners of the show. And there is much more to come, adds the release.

    MUMBAI: 26-year-old Mumbaite Amit Puri became the first winner of SaharaOne’s Ghante Ki Tuning Jamegi contest.

    The contest revolves around watching the channel for an hour during which a small bug will be flashed for an ‘x’ number of times. The viewer is asked to say the number of times the bug flashed on the screen in that given hour and on answering correctly, is then asked a couple of simple questions relating to the programme they just saw. A cash prize of Rs 100,000 is given away every hour for those who answer the questions correctly.

    Amit, a former executive producer with Balaji Telefilms, has been quoted in an official release as saying, “On Monday, on indiantelevision.com website I read about Saharaone’s Ghante Ki Tune Jamegi contest. And then in today’s newspaper, I saw the ad. And decided to try my luck.”

    On 12 November the contest offers a Diwali bonanza of Rs 1 million which will be given away every hour. Altogether, that means Sahara will be giving away Rs 1.70 crore (17 million).

    MUMBAI: Sahara One is going for the jugular. Even as it has won the battle with Star TV on the One branding, it is now looking at luring viewers away from Star One which is launching today by doling out close to Rs 20 million to loyal viewers.

    SaharaOne is rolling out a live interactive contest called ‘Ghante Ki Tuning Jamegi.’ Rings a bell? Of course! Star One’s hoardings all over town have the tagline ‘November 1 Se Apni Tuning Jamegi.’

    Riding on this tagline, the contest essentially revolves around watching the channel for an hour during which a small bug will be flashed for an ‘x’ number of times. At the end of the show, a toll free number will be flashed on the screen which viewers can call. They will be asked to say the number of times the bug flashed on the screen in that given hour and on answering correctly, will be asked a couple of simple questions relating to the programme they just saw.

    This will be a live two-minute capsule after every programme, which will be hosted by an anchor. The live programming starts from 2 pm to midnight and will be on from 5 – 12 November, which is essentially the time period when Star One’s sampling would take place, says a Sahara source.

    Now for the big prize money. A cash prize of Rs 100,000 is waiting to be given away every hour for those who answer the questions correctly. But the buck doesn’t stop here. Since Diwali is all about bonuses, on 12 November a sum of Rs 1 million will be given away every hour! So 10 hours of programming and Rs 1 million every hour… the calculation is child’s play – a whopping sum of Rs 10 million will be given away on the day of the festival of lights. Altogether, that means Sahara will be giving away Rs 1.70 crore (17 million).

    An exuberant SaharaOne creative director Shashank Ghosh says, “The whole idea of this contest is centered around having fun and engaging the audience.”

    An ad campaign around the mega contest will be rolled out today (1 November) and will be flashed across all media – print, television, outdoor and radio!

    Elaborating further, Ghosh says, “This contest will be indicative of the new direction of SaharaOne, which is experimenting with new things. We have a lot of event- driven programming and this will be an extension of the same.”

    Imitation, they say, is the best form of flattery. And that’s exactly what SaharaOne is doing by its ‘Ghante Ki Tuning Jamegi’ contest. However, Star’s new baby in the offing -Star One – shouldn’t get too worried as its offerings in terms of programming would be more than a shade different than that of SaharaOne.
