Saalakkondu Salaam is a reality game show which came on the channel Zee Kannada. The show is a Kannada language one which came on for three days on weekdays from Monday to Wednesday. It premiered on Indian television screens on 11th January 2010. It ran for a period of thirty-nine different episodes across a thirteen week period. It features a unique concept unseen in the Indian television space with the players attempting to get their loans waived off. This kind of show hasn’t gotten seen across popular programming in any part of the country. It promises to provide some fresh entertainment to the viewers and aid to the players, some of whom could be very debt-riddled. Saalakkondu Salaam features different families on every episode and gives them the opportunity to clear off parts of their loans varying from small amounts to the entire loan itself. This percentage reduction of debt is dependent on how well they perform over the course of the episode.

Each new episode kicks off by giving the participants different sums of money at varying stages of the game. They can now use this amount to relieve themselves from their loan burden. They can waive off their entire principal loan amount within a ceiling kept at the Rs. 10 Lakh mark. The show progresses through a total of four rounds which get played. Each round has a limitation upon the maximum amount that can get won over the course of that round. The first round can get them to waive off 10% of the loan, which got increased by 15% for the second round to take the total to 25%. The third round takes this up further by 25% making the total 50%. The remainder 50% of the loan gets played for in the fourth and final round. The series also consists of surprising elements to add to the thrill and excitement.

Once the third round is over, and the contestants clear the 50% mark, they got presented with a “Golden Question” which gives them a boost in their journey to the top. The entire series got designed to give the viewers a sense of thrill and excitement. There are sufficiently strict auditions and scrutiny of loan documents conducted prior to allowing contestants. The team got entries from over one-thousand people, which they then boiled down to a lucky few and the final thirty-six then got a chance of ridding themselves of their debt burden. In order to maintain variety, certain special episodes got planned as well. The show invited farmers, private employees, government employees, homemakers, small-scale entrepreneurs, politicians, senior citizens, film producers to the show as well.
