Anil Kapoor to host family game show 'India Ke Top 1%'
Mumbai, August 7
Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor is all set to host 'India Ke Top 1%, the Indian adaptation of the internationally acclaimed game show format 'The 1% Club'.
After finding success in countries including the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Greece, Australia, Israel, Turkey, Ukraine, Mexico and the United States, 'The 1% Club' is making its India debut as 'India Ke Top 1%', as per the press release.
'India Ke Top 1%' focuses on logic, observation and common sense rather than general knowledge. The format is designed to allow viewers of all age groups to participate from home, turning every episode into a shared family game experience.
Expressing his excitement about the show's premiere, Anil Kapoor said in a statement, "I'm thrilled to announce that 'India Ke Top 1%' premieres on 5th September. Witnessing the grand launch of the show in such a spectacular setting made this announcement even more special."
"'India Ke Top 1%' is unlike anything audiences have seen before. It will surprise you and keep you on your toes because it's not about how much you know; it's about how you think. Every challenge tests your observation, logic, presence of mind and your ability to stay calm under pressure," he added.
Highlighting the interactive nature of the format, Kapoor said, "The best part is that everyone at home can play along with every question and discover how their own minds work. There will be moments that amaze you, moments that make you question your first instinct, and moments that remind you that intelligence comes in many forms."
'India Ke Top 1%' will premiere on September 5 on Star Plus and JioHotstar.

This is great news! The 1% Club is such a hit internationally. I've seen clips of the UK version and it's amazing how simple questions can stump you. Having Anil Kapoor host adds that Bollywood charm. Hope they keep it engaging for Indian audiences!
Love this concept! It's about observation and common sense, not rote learning. This will be a fun watch for the whole family. My parents usually get bored with knowledge-based quizzes, but this sounds right up their alley. Uncle Anil never disappoints! 😄
Another celebrity-hosted game show... I hope this one actually stands out. The format is intriguing though - testing logic over knowledge could be a game changer. Let's see how the Indian adaptation handles it. Fingers crossed it's not just another copy-paste job!
Anil Kapoor hosting again? He's great, but I wish they'd give some fresh faces a chance. Still, the concept is solid - my kids love puzzles and riddles, so this will be perfect family entertainment. The interactive angle is a big plus! 🤩
This is brilliant! Logic over general knowledge means everyone gets a fair shot. As someone who's not great with trivia but loves puzzles, this feels like it was made for me. And on JioHotstar too - easy access. Count me in for the premiere!
