The full rules
Set up
Choose a host who’s happy to read the cards and run the rounds.
Everyone else splits into two teams.
Agree on a target score before you start. There are 250 song cards, so choose a target to suit how long you want to play.
Give the host the song cards. Keep the Hindi answer side hidden from both teams.
One side of each card has a Hindi song lyric translated into English. The other has the original Hindi lyric written in English letters.
Only three of you? One person hosts and the other two compete for themselves. Use the same guessing and scoring rules.
★ Team Play — Group to Group
Main way to play
Listen. The host reads the English translation to both teams.
Work it out together. Teammates can discuss and help each other. Both teams compete on every card; they don’t take separate turns.
Answer. Anyone on either team can name the song or sing enough for it to be recognised. You don’t need to sing the whole song or give a polished performance.
Score, then take a new card. The first correct answer earns one point for that team. One card is one round.
Hints and guesses
The host can repeat the translation and give small hints, such as “You’re in the right movie.”
Keep guessing: there’s no limit on attempts and no penalty for a wrong guess.
Nobody gets it? The host reveals the answer and moves on. No points or penalties for either side, and no steal after the reveal.

Other ways to play
Team Play — Head to Head
Choose one player from each team to compete on the same card. Only those two can answer; teammates can’t help. Send up new players for the next card.
Use the same guessing, scoring and winning rules as Group to Group.
Casual Play
No teams. No points. Someone reads the English translation and everyone guesses together. Once someone recognises the song, the whole room can join in singing.
Keep one reader or take turns. Stop whenever you like.
