mastermind 1998 movin chinmoy naik srs tatha

I don't assert any copyright to this, all rights belong to the respective copyright holders - it is an old clip on a tv quiz that I featured in, and isn't available anywhere else online. Mastermind India 1998 - when we were all much younger and thinner, with fuller heads of hair.

Siddharth Basu was sheer class!! 90s early 2000s Indian television was in a different league! So many informative programs!!

[@Raviscerator]

The golden age of Indian TV, before reality shows and Ekta Kapoor soap operas took over, pushing GK shows to the background.

[@warnpassion]

Raviscerator Appalling, isn't it?

[@poonamrohilla5062]

Exactly sir .That was truly a golden era

[@vidisharoy3630]

Honestly

[@krishnbimanagar]

It is that generation that built the skeleton of the internet and mobile technology of today. Super intelligent generation, those late 1960s to late 70s born guys. Sadly, gadgets have degraded the thirst for learning, now. When things are available too easily online, we don't tend to utilise it. The effort of searching for books in a vast library enhances the interest of knowing more than finding stuff at the click of a mouse

[@raajankohli5934]

Thanks for uploading this. I worked in the production of this TV program. I was looking after all participants stay and travel. Old memories

[@shantanudas]

Watch TV then.. and watch TV now.. it is a reflection of the decline in society at large - from Turning point & The world this week to endless reality shows, from books to social media, while the world travels in your pocket. Glad that Jeopardy (a quiz show - which also has an element of luck in it) in US is still running every evening on network TV. Oh yes, I was fortunate to be in quiz show hosted by the suave SB - probably the best QM India has ever produced. Thanks for uploading this Suresh - please upload more if you have access to them.

[@opslists]

Shantanu Das sorry this is the only episode I have access to and the only one from 1998 that’s around. I asked around and I believe even the bbc doesn’t have footage of this left :(

[@sajikochumman8433]

And Speaking of Jeopardy in the USA, there were other General Knowledge game shows before and during that time Jeopardy was on from the 1970s to the early 2000s. The following games were: Tic Tac Dough hosted by game show hosts Wink Martindale, Jim Caldwell, and Patrick Wayne (1976-1985, 1990-1991) Bullseye/Celebrity Bullseye hosted by Jim Lange (1984-1986). The Challengers hosted by Dick Clark (1990-1991), The Jokers Wild hosted by Bill Cullen, Jim Peck and Jack Barry (1972-1986) and was later hosted by Pat Finn from 1990-1991. Trivial Pursuit hosted by Wink Martindale (1993-1994) which by the way had also had a spin off which was Trivial Pursuit America Plays from 2006-2009 hosted by Christopher Knight. Debt hosted by Wink Martindale from 1996 - 1998. Two minute drill which was a spin off of Mastermind but only on questions related to sports which it was aired on ESPN from 2000-2001. And 21 hosted by Maury Povich from 1999-2000. So these game shows were a big hit back then!! And thank God there are some videos here on KZbin that are airing some episodes of these game shows!! And so for me to watch the game show Mastermind India when I was there in Kerala, India from May 2000 - May 2002 before and after the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center terror Attacks in Manhattan NY (New York City), it was an honor for me to be there. The only thing that the contenders should have been playing for was a trophy instead of a glass bowl which would break easily. And to see a few of these videos here on KZbin is priceless. The only question is are there any General Knowledge game shows in India on TV that are still around just as much as Jeopardy is the USA?

[@tvaddict6491]

I wish we got good quality quiz programmes these days. KBC's quality has degraded so much over the years. The original 2001 seasons were gold of KBC. Just look at the varied questions and subject matter mastermind had. This is what a quiz should be.

[@sairakshith-thewonderboy8404]

Thanks a lot for uploading this. Please upload if you have more of these. Used to watch almost all the episodes without fail. Yeah it truly brings back the memories of my childhood!!

[@opslists]

I am sorry this is the only episode from 1998, there are some episodes from later years available on KZbin

[@revathiscsreekanth867]

Thank you for sharing. The most worthy and treasured programme.My brother would infact take notes of the quiz along side answering it. Request video clips of 1983 quiz time. DD can infact re-telecast the show for the benefit of our young generation.

[@poonamrohilla5062]

I too appreciate your idea

[@opslists]

No scope of re telecast. BBC lost the mastermind tapes and Doordarshan lost the quiz time etc tapes even before that. Several of my friends from a previous generation of quizzing got their start in quiz time

[@VVS167]

Quiz time started in 1986., no🤔

[@swapankumarsengupta252]

Had a wonderful time watching this program on TV.

[@spacebar9476]

Oh the good ol days of watching this show on TV...man I wish I could go back in time..

[@rajv3987]

I don't see a single show similar to this one .. great old TV show ..

[@Harsh-vo2pm]

This quiz was hardly accessible to most of the Indians in those days, it used to broadcast on BBC.

[@opslists]

BBC was widely available on cable TV back then!

[@Harsh-vo2pm]

@@opslists Sir in 1998, I was studying in Class 6, I had asked my cable tv operator for a BBC connection, He said that BBC isn't available in Jamshedpur. Similarly to the best of my knowledge, it wasn't available in Asansol, Patna, or Bokaro. I saw any BBC Channel for the first time in Mumbai that year. BBC was widely available in Big 6 Cities, but I can speak of other cities. Even today BBC and its other sister concern channels arent available that well in moufossil towns of India.

[@2277niks]

Such whip smart guys who studied in the pre-internet era. Pure genius. These guys would've killed it in KBC.

[@youthwave]

Golden nostalgia! Tjanks.

[@farzanashaikh520]

Oh my Gosh this is amazing to get back old memories Siddharth Basu the most favourite ever anchor quiz maker his voice was like comparatively Big B. Thank you so very much for getting us in olden golden days❣️🙏

[@equillibria]

Thanks for uploading this. It brings back many memories of my childhood.

[@venkateshh9]

Please share old clips of quiztime.... We miss them very badly

[@opslists]

venkatesh h the old tapes were lost at Doordarshan long back I believe

[@manishandilya]

Learning GK from the libraries of big cities was only solution that time... really you all genius. Recently I purchased the GK book series for my son...Know for sure authored by Sidharth Basu ..

[@soumyasaswatinayak5069]

@Random Chikibum Most of KV's questions are inspired from this show. Great man.

Wao... amazing memories of DD...

[@sathyavanimaiya959]

Though single channel n limited time these quizzes were live telecasted for us in Hyderabad.

[@bismarck5103]

At 20:39, the INS Vikrant was commissioned in the Indian Navy and not the Army as Mr. Basu says.

[@opslists]

quite right, a trifle late to correct this though :)

[@waverider1674]

remember it was a time where the internet was not prevalent. these guys would have gleaned their knowledge from journals and books.

[@opslists]

Wave Rider yes, the British Library and such were very popular back then

[@SohamShivoham]

Nice video. How are you doing?

[@mohdkahleel7251]

Yeah good quiz

[@danishbiochem]

How did you actually prepare for the specialised rounds? I presume there wasn't internet then. I used to watch these as a kid and think of y'all as geniuses! haha

[@shantanudas]

They were indeed geniuses who read books and physical encyclopedias.
