runners-up: Mumbai boy Indraneil Sengupta kept mum for the better part of the session but Rituparno Ghosh more than made up for it.

The duo came second. | the winners take it all: Spot on with the most number of answers, Gargi Roy Chowdhury and Autograph maker Srijit Mukherjee took home the trophy. The duo had the answers on their lips in the buzzer round even before anchor Mir could finish asking the questions! | c for confusion: Parambrata Chattopadhyay was in charge in Team C, though he often changed his mind about the right answer. His teammate Rituparna Sengupta chose to whisper into his ear. “I am prompting him,” said she when Mir asked her to take the mike. |

best-looking pair: So what if they were at the bottom of the pile? An elegantly turned out Prosenjit — dhuti, punjabi, shawl and black-framed glasses — and Roopa Ganguly, looking chic in black trousers and cardigan, made the most dishy couple on the show. | slow but steady: Team F got off to a poor start but scored big in the rapid fire round. At the end of the nail-biting session, Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury and Ananya Chatterjee came third. “I am nervous and jittery tonight,” the Antaheen director confessed. | feluda stumped: The Feluda team passed up most of the posers. While Sabyasachi Chakraborty and Sandip Ray groped for clues, Feluda’s actress wife Mithu often raised her hand to help. “Please don’t prompt your husband!” came the mock warning from Mir. The toughest question that came their way: “What’s the name of the sari that Bipasha Basu mentions in Shob Charitra Kalponik?” To which, the film’s director Rituparno protested: “This is a very tough question. Even I don’t know the answer!” [The answer: Tussar Meenakari Benarasi] |
