Last
time,
a
challenge
was
laid
out
by
the
makers
of
Phoonk,
that
if
any
viewer
could
dare
to
see
the
film
sitting
all
alone
in
a
theatre
and
not
run
out
scared
he
will
get
a
cash
prize
of
Rs.5
Lakhs.
The
contestant
who
took
the
challenge
didn't
even
last
for
30mins
and
ran
out
of
the
theatre.
However,
after
the
release,
some
people
alleged
that
the
contest
was
rigged
and
that
they
never
felt
fear
while
watching
the
film.
So
now,
without
going
into
a
pointless
argument
on
the
same,
the
Phoonk
2
team
has
decided
to
open
themselves
to
a
scientific
evaluation
of
that
claim.
For
Phoonk
2,
an
ingenious
implementation
will
be
used
on
the
Contest,
which
in
a
very
scientific
way
will
measure
the
heart
rate
of
the
viewer.
The
participant
will
be
fitted
with
an
ECG
machine
while
he
is
watching
Phoonk
2
which
will
monitor
his/her
Heartbeat
and
Pulse
rate
and
this
will
be
shown
live
on
a
screen
outside
the
theatre
to
both
the
Media
and
all
concerned.
A
normal
person,
according
to
professionals,
has
a
certain
average
heartbeat
and
when
subjected
to
any
kind
of
an
intense
emotion,
the
beats
will
considerably
go
up.
So
if
the
challenger
claims
that
he
had
no
fear
while
watching
Phoonk
2,
the
monitor
will
tell
whether
he
is
lying
or
not
and
on
the
other
hand
if
he
can
control
his
fear
and
thereby
his
heartbeat,
and
not
let
it
cross
his
normal
heartbeat
then
he
will
get
to
win
the
cash
prize.
The
Phoonk
2
contest
will
be
launched
on
10th
March
on
the
official
website
www.phoonk2.in.
This
contest
is
restricted
to
only
healthy
people
with
no
history
of
Cardiac
disease
and
also
only
to
people
who
are
between
18
and
60
years
of
age.
