'''''Hello Kaun? Pehchaan Kaun!''''' (English: ''Hello, who is it? You guess!'') is a mimic show where the contestants mimic a famous celebrity. The show aired on [[STAR One]] on Saturdays at 9pm from 27 December 2008 to 5 April 2009. It is basically a mimicry contest. Every week eight artists are called upon to mimic well-known personalities ([[Johny Lever]], [[Lal Krishna Advani]], [[Manoj Kumar]], [[Salman Khan]] etc.) and three best are chosen.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
The show is hosted by well-known mimic [[Navin Prabhakar]], who first shot to fame from his celebrated appearances in the show ''[[The Great Indian Laughter Challenge]]'' (season one).<ref>{{cite news|title=Reality show contestants now turn anchors |url=http://expressindia.indianexpress.com/latest-news/Reality-show-contestants-now-turn-anchors/404195/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130426161211/http://expressindia.indianexpress.com/latest-news/Reality-show-contestants-now-turn-anchors/404195/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=26 April 2013 |publisher=Indian Express |date=29 Dec 2008 |accessdate=2 March 2013 }}</ref> Prabhakar mimics different celebrities in different episodes. He has mimicked well-known actors [[Jeetendra]], [[Pran (actor)|Pran]], [[Johnny Walker (actor)|Johnny Walker]], [[Kamal Hasan]], [[Sunil Dutt]], and several others. His own performance is inarguably one of the best mimicries in the entire show. The show is innovative as the first a mimicry contest on Indian TV.<br />
<br />
The show is judged by Chunky Pandey and Suresh Menon.<ref>{{cite news |title=Looking out for copycats |url=http://www.hindu.com/mp/2009/01/05/stories/2009010550190400.htm |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130411021855/http://www.hindu.com/mp/2009/01/05/stories/2009010550190400.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=11 April 2013 |date=5 Jan 2009 |work=[[The Hindu]] |accessdate=2 March 2013}}</ref><br />
<br />
The name of the show is a take on the catchphrase ''Pehchan Kaun'' (translation: Guess Who?) first popularized by [[Navin Prabhakar]] in his appearances in ''[[The Great Indian Laughter Challenge]]''. After several dialogues of ''[[Sholay]]'' entered into the psyche and mannerisms of Indians, this is perhaps the first catchphrase to do so.<br />
<br />
Being the pioneers in original comedy concepts, [[STAR One]] has come back with a new show Hello Kaun? Pehchaan Kaun. This show is the hunt for India's best mimic. It's the hunt for that mimic who can walk the walk and talk the talk of a celebrity.<br />
