Khaakar famous Gola, Poora Mumbai Dola
Bedlam at Juhu Chowpatty
The humble 'Kala Khatta' ice gola at Mumbai's Juhu Chowpatty has never managed to create such a stir before. But stir it did create and what a stir at that. When Puneet Anand of Chandigarh went to Juhu Beach with good friend Arundhati Dutta of Kolkatta, little did he realize that he would very soon be coining slogans for this very Gola. But this uncertainity is something he is beginning to get used to very fast. As one of the 16 finalists of Business Baazigar, Puneet realizes that unexpected challenges are something he'll have to learn to take in his stride.
This week the contestants have to run food stalls at Juhu Beach for maximum profit. Easy enough for some of the best brains in the country? Not quite. Because the stalls are never given to them! All that's given is Rs 50,000 and two hours. In two hours , these contestants, now in teams of four each, have to not only quickly assess the hundred plus stalls of Pav Bhaji, Bhel Puri & Kala Khatta at Juhu Beach - they also have to convince the shop owners to rent out these stalls to them for a day.
On Day 2, they have to run these stalls, recover the money spent on rent and maximize their profits
And to top it, they have Mumbai's hardened shopkeepers to deal with, who take no time to spot a new opportunity and cash on it. Within minutes of the teams starting off, the going rates of Juhu stalls were already sky rocketing.
When Puneet and Arundhati went to Auntieji, who has a stall near the bus stop, she asked for Rs 7000, but when Partho's team reached there barely fifteen minutes later, she wanted no less than Rs 9000 !
Frenzied negotiations, catchy slogans, happy hours, and dozens of other strategies - the war to get the cheapest shops and the most profit is on. But behind all the drama, the challenge is a serious one for all sixteen… Each pav bhaji plate sold takes the contestants closer to achieving a dream - the dream of setting up their own business empire.
Week after week, task after task, the weaker contenders amongst them will be eliminated…. Which team will win this adventurous task at Juhu Beach and who will be the two contestants who will be eliminated from this exciting race forever? Reality like never seen before on Indian television, Business Baazigar is a must watch - every Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. on Zee T.V.
