The classic Bollywood song game, with the arguments taken out. Two teams, a letter, thirty seconds: the app deals the letter, runs the timer, tracks the chain and keeps score while your group does the singing.

Play Antakshari Online — Your Phones Keep Score, You Sing
Gaana tum gaao, hisaab phone rakhega.
Most "online Antakshari" options are either a single-player app that plays songs at you or a YouTube compilation. Mehfil keeps the part that makes Antakshari great — your group actually singing — and hands the boring parts to everyone's phone: who's turn it is, which letter you're on, whether time is up and what the score is. It follows the classic chain rule (the next team starts with the letter the last song ended on), adds a lifeline for impossible letters like Gh, Jh and Ksh, and mixes in twist rounds such as 90s-only or Kishore-only. It works around one dinner table or, if your family is spread across cities, over a video call with everyone joining the same room code.
Kaise khelein
Everyone joins the room code on their phone and the app splits you into two teams
The team on turn has 30 seconds to start a song with the letter on screen
Tap the letter the song ended on — the other team must start a song with it
How do you play Antakshari?
Two teams take turns singing Hindi film songs. Each song must start with the letter the previous song ended on, so the chain keeps moving. If a team cannot start a song in time, the other team scores and gets the same letter. Mehfil tracks the letter, the timer and the score for you.
What is the starting line of Antakshari?
Traditionally the game opens with "Baithe baithe kya karen, karna hai kuch kaam, shuru karo antakshari leke prabhu ka naam" — it ends on M, so the first song starts with M. Mehfil starts every game the same way.
Can we play Antakshari online with family in different cities?
Yes. Everyone opens mehfil.party on their own phone and joins the same room code. Put the family on a video call for the singing and let the app run the letters, timer and score.
What happens on hard letters like Gh, Jh or Ksh?
Each team gets two lifelines per game. Spending one swaps the hard letter for an easier one so the game keeps moving instead of stalling on a letter nobody has a song for.
