A ghost hunter and a wannabe ghost hunter or who can be precisely called a student of the ghost hunter. This show was another of a kind that gave out a moral of spreading peace and goodness in the world.

The Japanese game show with a commentary of one and only Javed Jaffrey would take each and everyone on a laughing spree. Though it looked like it was all adventure but the comedian and actor turned it into a comedy series.
