Friday Night Blockbuster (Intra UEM) | Jigisha 4.0 – The Ultimate MELA Quiz Experience!
Lights. Questions. Action.
Friday Night Blockbuster wasn’t just a quiz - it was a cinematic thrill ride through culture, nostalgia, art, anime, music, and history. Organized under Jigisha 4.0, this flagship MELA Quiz brought together cinephiles, pop culture buffs, and trivia lovers for a night where knowledge met entertainment in the most spectacular way.
Hosted by the dynamic quizmasters Soham Mukherjee and Piyush Jha, this online event redefined what a quiz could be - fast-paced, visual, and filled with stories that spanned continents and centuries. From Lalbaugcha Raja’s legacy to Taylor Swift’s lucky number, from Takopi’s Original Sin to The Witcher’s destiny, each question unfolded like a scene from a film - layered, emotional, and brilliantly curated.
The prelims tested participants’ mettle across 20 handpicked questions — where art met anime, literature met pop culture, and history intertwined with the modern digital age. Whether it was deciphering Bone Music from the Iron Curtain era, identifying Blue Mustang from Denver’s eerie skyline, or tracing the roots of Chibi art in Edo-period satire — every frame of this quiz was designed to surprise, challenge, and entertain.

As the curtain fell, Friday Night Blockbuster left quizzers not just richer in facts but fuller in experience. It celebrated the joy of discovery — the kind that makes you whisper, “Oh, I knew that!” just a second too late.

7)Don't do cheating,(Cheating korle biye hobe na)
1) For nearly nine decades, Kambli family has carried
forward a legacy of devotion, and artistry in their craft
so distinctive that even the tilt of the head and serene
expression they created in 1935 is now copyright-
protected. Passed down through three generations, this
tradition gave birth to an icon that rises each year as a
cultural festival, drawing millions of devotees. Which
legendary icon, sculpted by the Kambli family, is being
described here?
2) In the realm of illustrated storytelling, some works
blur the line between childlike innocence and
unbearable despair. One such tale, adapted into
animation, has been described as a paradox. Vibrant in
art yet suffocating in theme, where fleeting moments of
joy collapse into cycles of guilt, trauma, and moral
ambiguity. Despite its heaviness, critics placed it in rare
air, with every single episode receiving near-universal
acclaim, and it even emerged as a contender for the
years finest. Which work of Japanese origin fits this
description?
*3) When a global studio milestone called for 30 creative
minds to reimagine an enduring symbol of justice and
fear, one artist from Yucatán responded with a vision
born from shadow and myth. Channelling the terror of
Camazotz a deity feared in local lore designer Christian
Pacheco fused cultural resonance with caped legacy to
honour a figure whose silhouette has stalked pages and
screens for generations. The result? A redesign for a
75th-anniversary tribute, where modern vigilance met
ancient dread. Which timeless character inspired this
myth-infused reinterpretation?
4) Among the turn-of-the-century dime-novel heroes was a boy
inventor whose adventures brimmed with flying craft,
submarines, and ingenious contraptions, his very name becoming
shorthand for boundless imagination. Serialized much like other
juvenile classics, these tales stood as America’s riposte to the
wonder-worlds of Verne and Wells. Curiously, one of his imagined
weapons left a shadow in reality, its title resurfacing decades later
in the unlikely vocabulary of modern law enforcement. About
which book is being talked about?
5) Recently DoorDash surprised fans by rolling out a 13% discount on
all orders, a number chosen deliberately because of its connection to
a certain pop superstar’s “lucky number” , on his/her special
occasion. What was this special occasion ?
6) This massive 32-foot sculpture, standing guard outside a U.S.
airport, is painted in an electric blue shade with glowing red eyes that
have sparked eerie conspiracy theories. Created by Mexican-American
artist Luis Jiménez, the artwork even claimed the life of its sculptor
during construction when a section fatally fell on him. It was officially
meant to symbolize the wild spirit of the American West.
*7) ID the anime from the ost.
8) Often called Japan’s “Golden Age of Court Culture,” this historical
period (794–1185 CE) is famous in anime for quite different reasons. In
Jujutsu Kaisen, it’s remembered as the “Golden Age of Jujutsu,” when
sorcerers like Sukuna reigned supreme. Meanwhile, Demon Slayer also
reaches back to this very era, with Upper Moon demons tracing their
origins to those centuries. Which era are both of these stories
referencing?
9) Cinema occasionally experiments with minimalism, but one
audacious Indian work took it to an extreme — a full-length feature
carried entirely by a single performer. Its meditative flow wove
memory, solitude, faith, and even the unseen presence of children
into a narrative of bonds beyond the screen. Recognized in the
Guinness Book of World Records, it later stood alongside the Kannada
film Shanti and French monologue La Dernière Lettre as rare
experiments in cinematic form. Name this pioneering film and the
actor who first set the record.
10) The 2010 Bollywood movie Aisha is inspired by Jane Austen’s
classic novel X , with director Rajshree Ojha adapting Austen’s story to
a modern Delhi setting. The film follows Aisha Kapoor, a well
intentioned but often clueless socialite played by Sonam Kapoor, who
meddles in the lives and romantic pursuits of her friends and
acquaintances, mirroring the themes and plot of Austen’s original
work. Name the novel X.
*11) In the aftermath of a war-torn century, when Western rhythms
were branded as dangerous intrusions, youth behind the Iron Curtain
found a way to outwit silence.. Ghostly sheets once used to reveal
fractured skulls and broken ribs were reborn with etched grooves,
carrying crackling songs instead of diagnoses. Passed hand-to-hand
through the black market, these fragile discs fused music with
anatomy, rebellion with survival. Crackling, fragile, yet unstoppable,
what eerie name did this underground practice earn?
12) In the 1960s, he was the ultimate symbol of youth rebellion on
screen, often shaking up Bollywood with energetic moves and a wild
mop of hair. Decades later, he shook things up again but this time not
in cinema, rather in cyberspace. In 1995, he founded the “Internet
Users’ Society of India”, advocating for a connected nation when most
people hadn’t even seen a modem. His first online steps came with
the help of a turtleneck-wearing tech visionary from California, and
soon he proudly ran his own personal website. Which legendary Indian
actor are we talking about?
13) Identify the painting.
14) When the art of the printed word was still a fragile experiment in
the subcontinent, a master of metal and script gave it permanence.
His engraved letters shaped one of the earliest grammatical records
of a people’s mother-speech and later carried sacred translations
brought by voices from distant shores. In places where the tide of a
great river once guided commerce and culture, his craft quietly
ensured that oral rhythms became immortal on paper. Though his
name drifts in obscurity, his legacy anchors the dawn of Indian print.
Who was this pioneering artisan?
15) Rooted in Edo-period caricatures and ukiyo-e sketches where
exaggeration mocked the serious, this miniature art style later slipped
into manga panels as comic shorthand. Defined by oversized heads,
wide eyes, and compact bodies, it distills characters into cuteness,
humour, and expressiveness. From playful spin-offs to collectible
figurines, it has grown into a global visual language that shrinks form
while magnifying personality. What is this Japanese art style called?
16) In Delhi, a group of college students found themselves at a
crossroads when Anil Moolchandani asked them to create an album
and sell it to him. They had one, an entire collection of English songs,
but chose to scrap it on their own terms. From the remnants they
salvaged Western melodies, reimagining them with Hindi lyrics and
Indian instrumentation. The very first track born of this shift is hailed
as the foundation of Hindi pop rock, breaking away from Bollywood’s
orbit. Which pioneering band, whose name suggests an overwhelming
rush of joy, reshaped Indian music and what was that landmark song?
*17) What is the dance called?
18) In today’s digital age, many of us converse in our mother tongue
but type it using English letters, a convenience born of the English
keypad. Yet this habit stretches back centuries. The earliest
structured work on Bengali wasn’t printed in its own script at all, but
appeared with verses, poems, and local expressions dressed in a
foreign alphabet. Compiled in Lisbon by the Portuguese missionary
Manoel da Assumpçam, and later studied by Nathaniel Halhed, it
marked the very first milestone in codifying the language. What
remarkable achievement does this refer to?
*19) Rooted in echoes of Nordic sagas and whispers from Irish myth,
this universe thrives on folklore, destiny, and fractured morality. Its
creator, a Polish economist, stumbled into fantasy by submitting a
short story to a magazine competition. What began as a single tale
soon grew into volumes that crossed borders, later expanding into
worlds where readers, players, and viewers alike were drawn into
tangled shadows. Identify this fantasy saga and its author, whose
reluctant step into fiction ultimately reshaped modern fantasy
storytelling.
20) Named after a German town marked by a tragic air show
disaster, this industrial metal sextet carved a soundscape of
fire, provocation, and guttural poetry. Their theatrical
pyrotechnics turned concerts into infernos, while a surprise
appearance on David Lynch’s Lost Highway soundtrack first
drew American ears to their searing presence. Balancing
disciplined chaos with lyrical ambiguity, they became an
emblem of shock and spectacle, exporting a native tongue
into global arenas.
1) For nearly nine decades, Kambli family has carried
forward a legacy of devotion, and artistry in their craft
so distinctive that even the tilt of the head and serene
expression they created in 1935 is now copyright-
protected. Passed down through three generations, this

Takopi's Original Sin
3) When a global studio milestone called for 30 creative

Tom Swift And his Electric Rifle
