Kishore Kumar Song Quiz

You hear one second of a real Kishore Kumar recording and name it. Land it straight away and the round is worth five points. Miss or skip and the clip grows to two seconds, then four, seven and eleven, worth less every time. Five Kishore Kumar tracks per run, roughly two minutes, and the guess box suggests titles as you type so spelling never costs you a round.

Tracks are pulled live from the public catalogue, so the five you get change every run. Expect titles like Roop Tera Mastana, Mere Sapno Ki Rani, Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, Ek Ajnabee Haseena Se. Each round also starts at a random point in the recording, so Roop Tera Mastana opening on a verse and Roop Tera Mastana opening on the chorus are two completely different puzzles.

Harder than the mixed bollywood quiz. When every round is Kishore Kumar, the genre and era clues you normally lean on in the first second are gone, so you are separating Mere Sapno Ki Rani from Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas on texture alone. Most casual listeners need three or four seconds a track; regulars get there in one.

No, but it helps. Knowing Kishore Kumar and recognising Kishore Kumar in a single second turn out to be very different skills, which is why the first round humbles almost everyone. If it bites, try the wider Bollywood quiz first and come back.
