Shuru Karo Antakshari... Lekar Hari Ka Naam!


 By Aditya Nandan

What would you do when you are told that the leading bands in the world namely, Linkin Park, Creed, Blue, Metallica, Greenday and Westlife are going one on one with each other?!?
 Enter Musical Prick! Musical Prick is the first of its kind event in Milan and is basically the rebranding of popular game Antakshri (which is played by everyone in India to kill time), and this was nothing short of being one of the best events of Milan and that too on the first day itself!
 With a new concept divided into separate rounds it managed to retain the spirit of ANTAKSHRI. The event had five rounds, where six teams battled each other for nearly three hours to take home the crown!
Round One had a simple Antakshri format, followed by ‘Enact’ round in which any one member had to enact the song given by the audience. It was then followed by the identification round in which part of the face of the stars was shown and participants have to identify them and sing their song. Round Four and Five were the most entertaining rounds of all as all the drama plus controversies were waiting to explode. Finally after the nail biting and action packed five rounds Linkin Park was able to shove off the competition from the other teams and won the title of the best Antakshri Team of the year. They were closely followed by Creed who were only five points less than them and lost due to bad strategy they had during the event and the third place went to Greenday.
This event being conducted for the first time, was done very well by coordinators Vandana and Srishti, and the game was played in good spirits. This event is a testament to the popularity of Antakshri all over India!
