Suresh Gopi hits off with Ningalkkum Akam Kodeeswaran

Suresh Gopi hosted the very first episode of Ningalkkum Akam Kodeeswaran yesterday (April 9) on Asianet. Archana, who was the first contestant of the show managed to win Rs 1,60,000.

Archana, who hails from Thrissur was the first contestant to be seated on the hot seat opposite actor and host Suresh Gopi in Ningalkkum Akam Kodeeswaran. Archana, who is a first year B Tech student went on to win Rs 1,60,000. Though she was interested to go further, she decided to quit when she didn't know the answer to a particular question. Besides, she had already used up all her supporting helplines.

Ningalkkum Akam Kodeeswaran is the Malayalam version of the hugely popular television show Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. The show was in turn inspired by Who Wants to be a Millionaire, one of the world's most successful quiz show.

While the Kannada version, hosted by Puneeth Rajkumar went on air on Suvarna TV on March 12th, Surya is presently hosting the Tamil version Neengallum Vellalam Oru Kodi on Vijay TV.

Siddharth Basu, chairman and managing director of Big Synergy is the mastermind behind the show.

Speaking about Kodeeswaran, Suresh Gopi had previously said that he is very positive that Ningalkkum Aagaam Kodeeswaran would become very big and hugely popular in Kerala.

Talking about the first episode of Kodeeswaran, one must say that Suresh Gopi has done a commendable job. Only time will tell whether the show will be as popular as Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati!
