Move over Orkut, Twitter and Facebook, from India at least. Well, Hillary Clinton is making a visit and we need quite a bit of space to accommodate her, but that isn’t the point here.

After years of lurking in the dark corners of social networking sites gather wee bits of personal information, with a very low signal-to-noise ratio if you may, finally we have a show that well, cuts to the chase.

You want to know about a person’s girlfriends, details of his sex life, partners, affairs, illegitimate kids ?

No need to follow Dr. Watsa’s column or trouble him with fake questions anymore.

Just tune in to Sach ka Saamna, the Indian adaptation of Moment of Truth, and another brainchild of Siddharth Basu, who I can safely assume makes a living out of adapting American shows, and legally at that. A concept tailor made for us, whose voyeuristic pleasures take up a considerable amount of time with non-linear results, I would be very surprised if the show didn’t do well. This video should give you some idea.

The show is anything but fair, relying on a polygraph machine for the answers, just like our cops. You reveal personal stuff, you earn money, viewers rejoice, for the secrets not your money.

But to its credit, it is hosted really well by Rajeev Khandelwal. But I really want to see him in more movies after last year’s very effective debut in Aamir.
