Preview: Episodes 7 & 8 : Sabse badaa Rupaiyya!
24 Hours On The Streets Of Mumbai. Just One Rupee In Hand!
Imagine ....You are sleeping peacefully in the comfort of your bed, and suddenly you are rudely awakened, pulled out of your bed and transported without food, without money to an unfamiliar place.
Disturbed? Horrified? But this is exactly what happens to the 14 finalists of Business Baazigar - the new Reality Drama Series on Zee TV this Friday.
They are taken from the comfort of their 5-star rooms and left at the Gateway of India with nothing in their hands, just Re 1.
They are given the ultimate challenge of survival and street smartness. The task for the Business Baazigar finalists is to not only survive on the mean streets of Mumbai, for a whole day and a whole night, but in order to win they also have to return 24 hours later with the most moolah in hand!
At the core of every successful business person is the ability to survive the greatest of odds - the ability to make money even with nothing in hand and no food in the stomach.
Most of the contestants are not familiar with Mumbai and its ways. But giving up is never an option for these gutsy fellows.
And that's when the magic began... Divided into teams of 2, the finalists tried their hand all kinds of avenues of money making. From selling mehendi at the Gateway of India, to washing cars, to waiting tables. For some, no job was small enough to make a start, while there were others who believed that they were out there to prove their worth as businessmen and women and rejected the job route in favour of doing their own business.
Innovative ideas jostled with the primal need to survive as each team had to fight the scorching heat, unavoidable hunger, thirst and adapt fast to the situation.
This week, the television drama gets very real on Business Baazigar. After all, where else would one learn to cement deals in a matter of minutes and spot business opportunities where seemingly none exist!?
Fatigue, irritation, frustration... nonetheless the charm of earning the first handful of coins is unparalleled as Business Baazigar finalists learn the true value of money and what it takes to make something out of nothing.
Each rupee earned would take the contestants closer to achieving a dream - the dream of setting up their own business empire, as the one contestant who becomes the Business Baazigar would get the crores of funding required to set up the business of their dreams.
But only one of these 14 will eventually become the Business Baazigar as week after week, task after task, the weaker contenders amongst these are eliminated... Which contestant will come out tops in this adventurous task of Survival in Mumbai City?
How much money will these 14 Baazigars be able to make in the 24 hours that are given to them and who will be eliminated from this exciting race forever?
Watch the sweat, the grime, the heartache. Reality like never seen before on Indian television, "Business Baazigar" is a must watch - every Friday at 8 p.m. on Zee TV.
