Adhu Ithu Edhu is a Tamil game show for the celebrities on the regional channel Vijay TV of Star TV. The show is very famous and well-received. It is telecasted every week. In each episode there are three guest personalities who participate. The game involves three levels. Players are given a thousand points before the game starts and may lose points at each round. The one managing to keep the most number of points at the end of the game is declared as the winner.
The first round is known as Group la Dupe, in English which means find the odd one out. Participants get to observe three persons, who are dressed as belonging to a specific profession (e.g. dancers, tailors, craftsmen, etc.) of which two, in reality belong to the said profession, and the third one is an imposter trained by professionals present there. The host will give them three clues. At first, the participants are allowed 15 seconds to make a guess as to who is in disguise. They have to ring the buzzer as quick as possible.
The fastest player to press the buzzer gets to lock their guess on who the deceiver actually is. The other players can only select a person who hasn't been chosen. In this way, the first one gets three options, the second two and the last person none. Then each of the persons give a short demonstration related to his profession for example dancers perform a small dance recital. After the acts, the players are then provided the option of altering their primary choice at the deduction of a 100 points.
After the participants have modified their options, if they want to, the disguised person is revealed. Points are reduced for the players who made wrong guesses, whereas the right guesser’s points are left unmodified. The second round is called Siricha Pochu in English which means You Laugh, You Lose. This round is the USP of the show. Participants are shown a live comedy gigs from either a group of the comedians or only a person from the show. The task is to remain expressionless during the performance.
They will lose score if they smile or laugh. The rule is they are instructed to only watch the show without hiding their mouths. Points are taken away in a cumulative basis on the order of persons who laughed.

During the session, the person has to say a totally unrelated answer to each question presented by the host.
If the contestant gives a related answer, and gives the same answer thrice, questions the host or spends more than twosecondsin reverting, heos considered out.
