Game format
Why This Kolaveri is based on the American game show Killer Karaoke and the British game show Sing If You Can, as it deals with participants having to sing while avoiding challenging situations. Unlike its American counterpart, the obstacles in this show were far less severe and were restricted to conditions like "standing on a two-tonne block of ice" and "walking blindfolded through a cactus maze".[2][3]
