The finale of The 50 airs today, Sunday, March 22, 2026, and you can catch it across both OTT and television:

• OTT: JioHotstar at 9:00 PM IST
• TV: Colors TV at 10:30 PM IST

If you want to avoid spoilers, the OTT stream is your safest bet.

From 50 Contestants To The Final 12

The show started with 50 well-known faces, but only 12 made it to the final stretch:

1. Prince Narula
2. Faisal Shaikh
3. Rajat Dalal
4. Shiv Thakare
5. Manisha Rani
6. Ridhi Dogra
7. Urvashi Dholakia
8. Krishna Shroff
9. Archana Gautam
10. Vikrant Singh Rajpoot
11. Nehal Chudasama
12. Ravinder Singh

It's a mix that kept things unpredictable-reality veterans, influencers, and actors all playing very different games.

Top 5 Finalists Going Into The Finale

By the final stage, the competition has narrowed down to five strong contenders:

1. Shiv Thakare
2. Faisal Shaikh
3. Rajat Dalal
4. Krishna Shroff
5. Ravinder Singh

As the finale unfolds, one elimination is expected to take place, leading into a tighter final face-off.

One Of The Most Talked-About Moments?

Prince Narula reportedly won a Ticket to Finale and then handed it over to Shiv Thakare. A move that changed the trajectory of the game in seconds.

Prize Money Comes With A Twist

This is where 'The 50' breaks away from the usual format. The prize pool has been built through tasks and currently sits at ₹40 lakh+, likely touching ₹50 lakh by the end. Some reports suggest the total pool could go up to ₹1 crore.

But here's the catch:

• The money isn't just for the winner.
• It goes to a viewer who backed the winning contestant.

So technically, the finale isn't just about who wins on screen, it's also about who had the strongest support off it.

What Made 'The 50' Different

Adapted from the French format 'Les Cinquante', the show followed a simple but effective setup:

• 50 celebrities living together for nearly 50 days
• A masked figure called "The Lion" controlling the game
• A mix of strategy, alliances, eliminations, and high-pressure tasks

The show was all about timing, reading people, and knowing when to step back or strike.

Finale Already Shot But No Clear Winner Yet

Even though the finale airs tonight, it was actually filmed earlier in Mumbai around February 19. To avoid leaks, the makers reportedly shot multiple winning endings with different finalists. That's why, despite online chatter suggesting Shiv Thakare might be leading, nothing is officially confirmed yet.

So, Who Takes It Home Tonight?

At this point, it could genuinely go either way. Each finalist brings a different strength-fan following, strategy, or consistency.

What makes this finale interesting is that it doesn't end with just a winner on stage. Someone watching from home could walk away with the prize too. And that changes how you watch it. So if you've been backing a contestant all season, tonight might matter more than you think.
