Music Ka Maha Muqqabla is a reality show on

STAR Plus, which first aired on 19 December 2009.[1] It aimed to bring a new format to music reality shows in India, which is based on teams rather than individuals. The show lasted for a total of 13 weeks.[2]

Six teams, led by their own superstar captains, battled it out in this weekly music competition.[3] The singing superstars included Shaan, Shreya Ghoshal, Mohit Chauhan, Himesh Reshammiya, Mika Singh and Shankar Mahadevan.[4]

Each team consisted of three well-known singers who participated in previous reality TV singing shows and one new singer selected by the captain of the team.[2]

The show was hosted by Ayushmann Khurrana. Each week two captains competed for the highest score in order to win.

The captains that did not compete judged the performances of the singers. There were a total of five rounds in each competition. The audience and the judges gave the score. The show took place in a large outdoor stadium in

A "Singer of the Day" Award was given at the end of each episode to a singer selected by the judges. The Grand Finale was won by Shankar Rockstars on 20 March 2010.
