Now Bollywood into Social Games

Bangalore: The success of ibibo.com’s game Yes Prime Minister has touched Bollywood shores. Akshaye Khanna starer Bollywood flick “Gali Gali Chor hai”, a movie about a common man fighting against the corrupt system, bears an underlying resemblance with the theme of Yes Prime Minister since the game is also about building a corruption free India.

In the movie Akshaye Khanna plays the character of “Bharat” who is a common man fighting against corruption.  In a unique innovation, Bharat, the lead character also makes an appearance inside the Yes Prime Minister game on ibibo.com. The game players can appoint “Bharat” as a Vigilance Commissioner (VC) for their ideal India. This ensures that various departments inside the game like Education, Road, Food and Agriculture, Power etc. stay free of corruption.

According to Rahul Razdan, President - ibibo.com - “We are once again very happy to associate with a Bollywood movie, especially one that represents the voice of the common man, as Gali Gali Chor Hai does. Our game Yes PM represents the same emotion through the route of social gaming. We have seen youth audiences actively participate in initiatives that address issues like corruption that concern them”.

The theme of ‘Yes Prime Minister’ is to Build Your India by taking control of various ministries like Education, Infrastructure, National Security, Railways, Sports and Urban Development etc. Like in the real world, each Ministry has various departments under it. Players can contribute to the development of India by assigning development projects in these departments.

The core value of the Yes Prime Minister is that it helps the common users to express their opinions and angst against the single biggest problem facing India – corruption!
