Munawar Faruqui's The Society trailer is finally out, and it is a mix of Bigg Boss, Lock Upp as well as Squid Game. The trailer finally unveils the concept of the reality TV show, and it is not what you thought. The contestants have to fight for their stay, and things are about to get really messy. They have to eat food, their stomach cannot digest while performing tasks. Further, they are divided into teams. Here's everything you need to know...
The Society concept
The Society is a lot similar to the concept of Squid Game but only in terms of visuals. The actual game is similar to Bigg Boss and Lock Upp. The teams are divided as Royals, Regulars, and Rags. They are treated just as their group name suggests. Right from dodging eggs thrown at them to sacrificing hair, the reality TV show promises a lot.
Is The Society actually Squid Game?
No, The Society is not the Indian version of Korean drama Squid Game, even if it takes heavy inspiration from the same. Squid Game ended with season 3 recently, and while The Society shares the vibe of the show with themes like the clothing and bunk bed setup with the money in the vault concept, it does not have ‘deadly’ games that Squid Game is known for. Thus, while there are resemblances to Squid Game, The Society is indeed not the Indian version of Squid Game.
The Society theme
The Society promises 200 hours with 25 players. They are fighting for what is behind a giant vault. Like with every reality show ever, there is just one winner with this game show.
When and where to watch The Society?
The Society will be out on JioHotstar from July 21. Hosted by Munawar Faruqui, the game show will be available on JioHotstar Sparks via OTTplay Premium.
