With just days left for its grand premiere, Banijay Asia’s ambitious reality show The 50 has officially locked its contestant lineup, and it’s nothing short of explosive. From iconic television faces and Bigg Boss winners to viral influencers and music sensations, The 50 brings together India’s most diverse reality cast ever under one roof.
Set inside a grand palace and ruled by a mysterious game master known as The Lion, the show promises raw survival, psychological warfare, and zero predictability. Here’s everything you need to know about the concept, the palace, and the full confirmed list of contestants, updated and explained in detail.
What Is the Concept of The 50?
The 50 is a captive reality show adapted from a popular international format. Unlike traditional reality shows, this one doesn’t follow fixed rules. Rules can change mid-game, alliances can collapse overnight, and survival depends on instinct rather than popularity.
- 50 celebrities
- 26 days
- Physical, mental, and emotional challenges
- No permanent rules
- One unseen authority: The Lion
The Lion is assisted by an army, two foxes, two dogs, and two rabbits, who monitor every move of the contestants. There is no host on stage, and contrary to early rumours, Farah Khan is not hosting the show.
Inside The 50 Palace
Forget luxury homes. The 50 Palace is a strategic battlefield.
- Location: Malad, Mumbai
- Area: 10,000 sq. ft.
- 6 bedrooms
- 3 dedicated gaming arenas
- No kitchen (food is provided)
- 110 surveillance cameras
- Unsafe Zone for task losers
Every space is designed to trigger pressure, paranoia, and power shifts.
