Hello Kaun? Pehchaan Kaun (English: Hello, who is it? You guess!) is a mimic show where the contestants mimic a famous celebrity. The show airs on STAR One every Saturday 9pm from December 27, 2008. The show is basically a mimicry contest. Every week eight artists are called upon to mimic well-known personalities (Johny Lever, Lal Krishna Advani, Manoj Kumar, Salman Khan etc.) and three best mimicry artists are chosen every week.

Overview

The show is hosted by well-known mimicry artist Navin Prabhakar, who first shot to fame from his celebrated appearances in the show "The Great Indian Laughter Challenge" (Season one).^[1] Interestingly Navin Prabhakar himself mimics different celebrities in different episodes. He has mimicked well-known actor Jeetendra, Pran, Johnny Walker, Kamal Hasan, Sunil Dutt and several others in different episodes. His own performance is arguably one of the best mimicries in the entire show. The show is innovative in the sense that never before a mimicry contest has been staged on Indian TV.

The show is judged by Chunky Pandey and Suresh Menon.^[2]

The name of the show is a take on the catchphrase Pehchan Kaun (translation: Guess Who?) first popularized by Navin Prabhakar in his appearances in The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. After the several dialogues of Sholay entered into the psyche and mannerisms of Indians, this is perhaps the first catchphrase to so enter the Indian psyche.

Being the pioneers in original comedy concepts, STAR One has come back with a new show Hello Kaun? Pehchaan Kaun. This show is the hunt for India’s best mimic. It's the hunt for that mimic who can walk the walk and talk the talk of a celebrity.
