How it works

One phone, two teams, zero room codes.

  1. Pick your languages

    Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam — any combo. Plus eras: 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s.

  2. Phone on forehead

    The guesser holds the phone screen-out on their forehead. Movie titles light up there.

  3. Room acts it out

    Everyone else acts the movie — no speaking, no singing the songs. You guess what's on your own head.

  4. Tilt to play

    Tilt the phone away from you for CORRECT. Tilt it forward for PASS. Hands stay free for laughing.

A round in the wild

The deck is your aunties' watchlist.

Four languages, four eras

Switch Hindi off if your Chennai cousins are visiting. Toggle on 2000s-only if the room is Gen Z and won't recognise a Mehmood title. The deck adjusts before you start — no awkward "skip this one, I haven't seen it" mid-round.

  • Hindi · Tamil · Telugu · Malayalam — pick one or all four
  • 80s · 90s · 2000s · 2010s — toggle eras on or off
  • One device, no socket, no room code, no signup

FAQ

Quick answers, then play.

What is Sar Pe Filmy?

It's Heads Up for Bollywood (and Kollywood, Tollywood, Mollywood). One phone goes on a player's forehead, the rest of the room acts out the movie title without speaking. The guesser tilts the phone to score or pass.

Do I need more than one phone?

No. One device is the entire setup. No room codes, no app to download on anyone else's phone, no socket.

Which languages does the deck cover?

Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. Toggle any combination before you start — the deck rebuilds to match.

Which eras?

80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s. Era toggles sit next to the language toggles on the setup screen.

How does the tilt work — is it accurate?

The game reads the phone's motion sensors. Tilt the screen face-up (away from your face) for CORRECT; tilt it forward (toward the floor) for PASS. Hold it flat against your forehead for "still thinking".

How long is a round?

Around six minutes — about a minute per team turn, alternating, until both teams have had a fair shot. Rematch is one tap.

Phone on your head. Room on its feet.

No room code. No second phone. One tap and you're acting.
