The makers of Singha Durbar are back with an exciting new reality TV game show called Pahunch. The show funded by UKAID, produced by Search For Common Ground (SFCG) Nepal and supported by Nepal Police is the first of its kind TV show that will let the people know what it actually takes to be a cop. The show directed by Tsering Rhitar Sherpa will have eight contestants who will be assigned six different tasks on different themes such as human trafficking, robbery, managing the traffic, among others. They will be mentored and trained by the police officers. The idea is to let the people know through these contestants and the tasks performed by them that how crucial is the role of every single cop out there who is ready to serve the nation 24×7 no matter what conditions they have to go through.

The contestants who have been chosen from the 50 shortlisted candidates include Sohpie Sunuwar (make-up artist), Maya Syangten (basketball player), Akwar Ansari (youth activist), Ajit Kumar Karna (dairy owner), Gyan Bahadur Lama (former Maoist combatant turned entrepreneur), Sita Bhandari (taekwondo player), Prabina Dahit (model/actress) and Shanta Nepali (media person). National award winning actress, Reecha Sharma, will be hosting the show that will premiere this month on August 17th on Nepal Television and will air every week at 8:40 PM.

The winner of this interesting game show will get a cash prize of Rs. 2,00,000 followed by Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 30,000 by the first and second runners up respectively.

Well, we are pretty excited for this one as we haven’t seen anything like this before on TV. Plus, we already love the concept and the main motive behind the show. There should be harmony between police and the civilians with the equal amount of respect for each other. But we have often seen, heard and read about the incidents which tell us a completely different story. We are hopeful that this show will succeed in making some difference.

Here’s the promo. Let us know what you think of it.
