High on content, drama, pace, look, realism and fresh faces, Siddhanth is a one hour weekly. A gripping story of a lawyer, who believes the world to be at his feet. His journey of redemption, his realization of the grey shades of life, his equations with the very people he defends and then turns against, in his bid to save his conscience.

Siddhanth is the story of a man who finds himself at the cost of losing his loved ones, who finds truth after experiencing a series of lies, who finds answers to the very questions he once didn't even know existed. With a talent to twist cases around to suit his will, Siddhanth's world revolves around a web of lies, deceit, deaths and downfall, some of which is a result of his own doings of the past.

Yet case after case he moves ahead, sometimes taking the right decisions and sometimes adapting wrong means to reach the right conclusion. For Siddhanth the means justify the end, as winning is his second identity.. No case is too tough, the only criteria to accept a case being the one ray of hope against all odds, the one hint of evidence that could overturn a case.

As he makes a fresh start after winning the land case and getting his sweetheart's murderers booked by law, Siddhanth is in search of the evasive truth, the truth that is a truth only if it can be proved, as is his firm belief.

Lucky and Happy are thick friends who are also partners in crime. Lucky is a thinker and the brighter of the two, and Happy is, well, happier, sportier and by far the more popular one. They came to be friends on a school trip to Ooty, where as usual, Happy had gotten himself into some trouble with the authorities and Lucky, using his over-active grey cells, managed to get him out of it. They've been thick as thieves ever since.

Their Relationship
Lucky, being quiet and reclusive, doesn't have too many friends. Happy on the other hand is quite a likeable and popular chap at school. Lucky quite likes the fact that he has a popular friend, not realizing that Happy in his own way looks up to him and looks to him for guidance.

Happy is largely influenced by popular culture; Will Smith, Eminem et al. Lucky mostly scoffs at his dress sense and his use of hip-hop slang. They both fulfill a unique need in each other, and are therefore bonded, despite being radically different.

Their 'HOOD'
Happy, the sportsman, shoots hoops in the parking area of his building society. It is here that he and Lucky bond, exchange ideas and create mischief. Lucky, prone to over intellectualizing, uses basketball to develop his pop philosophies for life where as Happy's main aim is simply the hoop.

This game show exposes the ability of the players to cheat, lie and deceive in order to win a large sum of money. One of the six participants in each episode is pre-designated as a Bluff Master. Nobody else, including the host, know who the Bluff Master is. The Bluff Master can secretly see all the answers to the questions on the game show, thereby getting a huge edge over all other participants.

If any of the honest players want to win, they must expose the Bluff Master. This is done through a vote at the end of each round. In the end, if the players and the audience fail to spot the Bluff Master, he/she takes home all the money. If not, then the last honest player gets the prize.

The questions asked on the show are whacky and humourous. For each question, the players must come up with one of the 10 most popular responses for that question. The most common response carries the least amount of money, the most uncommon, the most. The cheater has a list of all the 10 responses in front of him that only he is privy to, and can choose what answer he wants to give, without making any of the other players suspicious.

Throughout the show, all players categorically deny that they are the Bluff Master. It is through game play, accusations and defense arguments that the real Bluff Master is caught or manages to escape suspicion. The participants not only have to play the game, but also act convincingly in order to finally win the money.
