Jiska tumhe tha intezaar
Jiske liye dil tha beqaraar
Woh ghadi aa gayi aa gayi aaj ...
Hello aur Namaskar
All you avid gamers & film & music enthusiasts (& die-hard Sheep of course! )
Some of you may have played Season 1 of my Bollywood Retro Sheep game a while ago & enjoyed it (hopefully!)
Welcome to Season 2 of the Bollywood Retro Sheep Game!
This time we will be focusing on the years 1971 to 1990.
Yep, the years that have seen such groundbreaking movies such as Zanjeer, Sholay, Ankur, Bobby, Arjun and QSQT, just to name a few.
The 70s and 80s decades saw Bollywood go through some major changes and overhauls in terms of storywriting & storytelling.
The evolution of the soft & romantic heroes of the 50s & 60s to the daring & dashing angry young men, the coy & demure heroines to the bolder, savvy ones who knew what they wanted & weren't afraid to go after it.
The era of iconic villains, memorable character actors & wholesome comedians.
The era with some of the most quoted & celebrated dialogues ever.
And how can we forget the musical (r)evolution?
From the Western-influenced disco & techno & cabaret to staying rooted in traditional tunes, music directors & choreographers experimented with varied genres & gave us some of Bollywood's most unforgettable songs & dances.
Bollywood Retro Sheep Season 2 will cover all of this & more.
The game will have 5 rounds, each with a different theme, two of which will be multiple choice.
One round will be anti-sheep.
No knowledge of 70s and 80s Bollywood movies is required, Google baba is your friend.
However, if you're already an enthusiast, more power to you.
If not, you have a world of music & movies left to discover (which I'm sure you will by the end of this game!)
For those who have no clue what I'm talking about let's go over the R U L E S
You will be sent a link to a Google Form via PM, and you have to answer the questions in the most expected and the most common way.
You have to think like other members who are taking part in this contest and guess the answer.
Please remember that there is no right or wrong answer. If your answer is the most common one, you will win a point.
All answers will be awarded goals depending on how many people you share your answer with.
A point has more value than goals.
There will be five rounds, each round will have 10 questions.
You will be given two days to send in your answers.
There will be no eliminations.
However, if you don’t submit your answers in a round before the said deadline, you will not be sent the link to the google form for the next round.
Here is an example:
Question: Which vegetable is the worst tasting?
Three people say potato
Eight people say cabbage
Six people say broccoli
Ten people say spinach
The ten people who say ‘spinach’ will get 1 point and 10 goals.
And the others get no points but goals only, which depends on how many others gave the same answers. So ‘potato’ gets 3 goals, ‘cabbage’ wins 8 goals, ‘broccoli’ wins 6 goals, and so on.
If yours is a unique answer, not shared by anyone, you get 1 goal.
If there's a tie between two popular answers, then both get 0.5 points each.
If there's a tie between 3 or more answers, no points will be awarded, but only goals will be given.
If there is a tie between two people based on points, the one with the higher number of goals will have a higher ranking on the scoreboard.
Anti-sheep (as you must have guessed) is the opposite. The most unique answer gets a point. No goals will be awarded in this round. More details to come during the round.
The game will go on for about 10 days.

Hey there, Sheep!
Welcome to Round 1 of The Bollywood Retro Sheep Game Season 2! Cue *opening bars of Ek Hasina Thi*
Are you all ready to play???
You will receive your PMs in a few hours from now (at 9 pm IST)!
R1 is all about 70s and 80s movies so all your answers will be names of movies. Please stick to the timeline from 1971-1990!
Please make sure to read the questions and answer accurately. We will not be asking you to correct wrong answers since this is a sheep game but be aware that inaccurate answers reduce your chances of winning a point!
Please refrain from posting spoilers/ having discussions on the thread until the deadline ends!
The deadline for R1 is 9 pm IST, Nov 12.
Good luck and hope you enjoy the game!
Guys, friendly reminder ...
- Your answers should all be movies released between 1971 and 1990
- Your answers should all be HINDI movies since this is a Bollywood Sheep Game
- Please read the questions carefully.
PLEASE NOTE: INVALID ANSWERS GET 0 GOALS and 0 POINTS.
PS: Next time koi doubt ho toh pehle hee pooch lena
Heylo Sheep!
You must all be tired and weary after all that extensive research y'all did for R1!
I must applaud your efforts since many of you don't know this topic at all!
For those who scored, well done! For those who didn't do so well, take heart! There are 4 more rounds to go!
Okay, here we are with R2. You must already have your forms. Here are some tips to keep in mind
- Your answers must all be names of actors/ actresses that were active during the period 1971-1990. Answers that have actors that debuted after 1990 will not be accepted.
- You must answer accurately the question that is asked. For eg. Please give names of a villain and a comedian for Q.8. When the question asks for leading actors - please give names of only leading actors during this time. If it asks for character actors, please write the names of character actors during this time.
- This should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway - they should be actors from HINDI movies.
- As before, invalid answers get 0 goals and 0 points.
- If you have any questions or queries feel free to tag LizzieBennet or DelusionsofNeha on the thread or send us a PM.
Deadline R2 : 14 Nov, 9 pm IST
This round is subjective, so there isn't much research involved. Just go with your gut.
GOOD LUCK!
FAQs :
Q. 3 The actor or actress (parent) needs to have been playing lead roles in 50s and 60s (they can have started anytime), their son/ daughter needs to have debuted between 1971 and 1990. You have to write the name of the son/daughter. Hope that makes sense!
