Gone
are
the
days
when
you
had
to
toil
yourself
inside
out
to
get
your
'first
million'
rupees.
One
of
the
easiest
ways
these
days
to
announce
your
arrival
into
the
'lakhpati
league'
is
by
participating
in
one
of
the
zillion
reality
shows.
And
if
you
find
that
a
tough
nut
to
crack,
then,
you
can
blindfoldedly
trust
the
Bollywood's
dream
merchants
to
help
you
achieve
your
goal.
For
the
uninitiated,
the
production
banner,
One
More
Thought
Entertainment,
had
come
up
with
a
unique
way
to
promote
RGV's
Phoonk.
They
challenged
the
viewers
to
sit
through
this
horror
film
without
getting
scared,
for
which
the
reward
was
as
huge
as
Rs.
5
lakhs.
Continuing
with
the
same
promotional
strategy,
One
More
Thought
Entertainment
has
now
devised
a
contest,
for
their
forthcoming
comic
caper
Khallballi
-
Fun
Unlimited,
starring
Nikhil
Dwivedi
along
with
a
plethora
of
comedians,
whereby
the
contestant
(read
'viewer')
will
have
to
sit
with
a
straight
face
without
any
signs
of
laughter
on
the
face,
throughout
the
screening
of
the
film.
And
the
reward
money
is
as
whopping
as
Rs.10
lakhs!
What
will
be
the
fate
and
the
outcome
of
this
contest,
no
one
can
predict.
But
one
thing
looks
certain,
that
the
reward
for
Comedy
is
twice
of
Horror.
Maybe
that's
why
the
producers
are
rewarding
Rs.10
lakhs
for
Khallballi
as
compared
to
the
Phoonk's
Rs.5
lakhs!
