Roadies, provided with Hero Honda karizma bikes travel on pre-decided routes and the show features a vote-out in which a team member is eliminated from the show through an anonymous vote. A Roadie who survives till the end becomes the winner and is awarded all the cash accumulated by performing ‘money tasks’.
People selected from different corners of the country with totally different lifestyles take part in the show and the previous eight editions of the show have been massively high on the popularity chart. The show has hooked in people from all walks of life from college-goers to kids and housewives. Its popularity can also be judged from the fact that every show receives thousands of entries from people across the country who aspire to participate in the high-energy show.
Outrageous tasks and offensive language is what has been making people’s minds dirty, is one of the USPs of the show besides the honesty that nothing is rigged on the roads. Contestants are detached from the world, as their cellphones are taken away, they are not provided a TV, nor are they allowed to talk to strangers. This has added more masala to the show and another important part of the show is that new tasks are added every year, much to the interest of viewers.
But show hasn't escaped its share of controversies as people have accused it of damaging the moral fabric through its offensive language. Some people also claimed that everything in the show is scripted, which organisers are not ready to buy. Now in the ninth avatar, people are impatiently watching out for the show and its tough contestants whose mental toughness has surprised everyone.
