The new reality show, The 50, was recently released and instantly got fans hooked on the show. The 50, streaming on Colors and JioHotstar, set the tone for a survival-driven style with its intense gameplay and quick outcomes. The fact that some players were given leave orders during the first week itself demonstrated how swiftly the game can alter inside the Mahal. Every choice has consequences, as demonstrated by the early episodes' task-based eliminations and disciplinary measures.

Vanshaj Singh

Vanshaj Singh was the first player to be given an exit order. He was voted out by his teammates on the very first day of the show. The early exit demonstrated how rapidly the relationships inside the Mahal could change.

Saurabh Ghadge

After landing in the danger zone during the Lion's Crazy Games, Saurabh Gadghe was issued an exit order. His placement in the danger zone ultimately cost him his spot in the game, and the mission turned out to be a turning point.

Sumaira Shaikh

After the Lion's Crazy Games, Sumaira Shaikh was also given an exit order. She was eliminated in the first week because she was unable to ensure her safety after getting into the danger zone.

Archit Kaushik

Following an incident involving violence against fellow player Maxtern, Archit Kaushik received a departure order in the most recent episode. The Lion, in his capacity as the gamemaster, stepped in and gave a clear order to leave the Mahal, reiterating the show's stringent policy about rule infractions and discipline.

The 50 has demonstrated that the game would not wait for anyone by issuing numerous exit orders in just the first week. Players will need to strike a balance between strategy, performance, and discipline as the battle goes on in order to survive in a format where one mistake could result in an instant elimination.
