Each episode is packed with refreshing and original humour created by the ensemble celebrity cast.

Stringing their laugh riots in a sequence is the talented actor Kavita Kaushik as the anchor.
A live animated character, Ghadhashri, will more than make up for judges’ reactions. This unique animated character is a donkey that carefully scrutinizes each gag and gives his expert comments, making it a hilarious treat to watch. Each week, renowned names from the entertainment industry will give Ghadhashri’s company and watch the antics of our disguised celebrity contestants.
These eight celebrities will hoodwink common people, family and friends through the use of disguise at pre-decided locations. The disguise is not just in terms of costumes and make-up but also the overall acting ability, mannerisms and their accents. The fun and humour of these gags will be compounded by the in- studio element of stand-up comedy.
There will be no eliminations in this show, resulting in it being free of hackneyed dialoguebaazi, walkouts, back-biting and stress. Every week, one celebrity will win the title of “Master of Disguise†which will be decided by the voting done among all the eight contestants. There will also be no judges.
