The first weekend episodes of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7, S7E7 and S7E8, brought a whirlwind of emotions, unexpected punishments, a surprising elimination, and a futuristic new housemate. Host Mohanlal, as always, kept viewers on the edge of their seats, delivering both stern warnings and lighthearted moments.
Gezele’s ‘7nte Pani’: A Stern Lesson on Rules
One of the most talked-about incidents of the weekend was Mohanlal’s severe warning and punishment to contestant Gezele Thakral. Gezele had previously won a privilege to keep her personal belongings, including her suitcase. However, after losing a special badge to Nevin during a debate task, she was instructed to return all personal items as per Bigg Boss rules. Despite an earlier warning for hiding cosmetics, Gezele confessed to secretly retaining a few makeup items, including sunscreen and concealer.
Mohanlal, visibly disappointed, emphasized that rules are paramount and apply to everyone equally. As a strict ‘7nte Pani’ (the season’s theme, implying a challenge or consequence), he announced that Gezele’s entire suitcase, with all her personal belongings, would be sent back home. She will now have to manage with only the minimal essentials provided by the Bigg Boss team. Gezele was understandably upset, but Mohanlal remained firm, reinforcing the importance of discipline in the house.
Ranjit Munshi’s Shocking Elimination
The weekend also witnessed the first eviction of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7, with actor Munshi Ranjit being shown the door. In a departure from the usual format, Mohanlal announced the elimination at the beginning of the Sunday episode, stunning the housemates. Eight contestants were nominated for eviction: Anumol, Shaitya Santhosh, Gizele Thakral, Aryan, Renu Sudhi, Munshi Ranjit, Sarika, and Nevin.
Mohanlal revealed that Munshi Ranjit had received the fewest votes from the viewers, leading to his unexpected exit. The announcement deeply affected the housemates, who were visibly emotional. In a rather uncharacteristic move, Ranjit walked directly to the confession room without bidding farewell to his fellow contestants, despite Bigg Boss’s request to do so. On stage with Mohanlal, he expressed his disappointment at leaving so early, stating, “It’s upsetting to be out just as the game begins. Inside that house, you must always be alert that an arrow might be coming at you, and you must also know when to shoot your own.”
Renus Sudhi’s Pre-Recorded Video Controversy
A major point of contention and a highlight of Mohanlal’s intervention was the issue of Renus Sudhi’s pre-recorded video, which her channel team had posted on YouTube asking for votes. Mohanlal initiated a surprise inspection for hidden mobile phones in the house before revealing the reason behind it. He played the controversial video, which showed Renu Sudhi claiming she was nominated for the first-week eviction and appealing for votes, all recorded before the show began airing.
Mohanlal, initially with a humorous jab about her predictive abilities, quickly turned serious. He delivered a strong message to social media handlers and content creators, urging them not to spoil the unpredictability and curiosity that are the “soul” of Bigg Boss. Renu Sudhi appeared embarrassed and apologized to the camera, requesting her cousin, who manages her YouTube channel, to refrain from posting such content in the future. This incident underscored the constant battle between the show’s integrity and external influences.
The New Robotic Housemate: “Watchdog” of the Season
Adding a futuristic twist to the season, Mohanlal unveiled a new robot in Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7. This robotic dog is a first not just for the Malayalam franchise but for the entire Bigg Boss global format. Mohanlal proudly introduced it as his “watchdog” for the season, showcasing its abilities to walk, perform a ‘Namaste,’ sit, and interact with him on stage, leaving the audience awestruck.
The robodog is set to enter the Bigg Boss house and will play a crucial role, moving freely, capturing visuals and sounds, and even interacting with housemates. It is equipped with a microphone, speaker, built-in voice recognition, and interactive voice functionality. Mohanlal also invited viewers to suggest a name for the new robotic companion, making it an interactive element for the audience. This high-tech addition promises to bring a fresh layer of surveillance, entertainment, and unpredictability to the game.
Overall Impression
The weekend episodes of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 proved to be anything but dull. Mohanlal’s firm but fair hosting, the dramatic eviction of Munshi Ranjit, Gezele’s learning experience, Renus Sudhi’s public apology, and the intriguing introduction of the robodog ensured that the first week concluded with high drama and set the stage for an even more engaging season. The ‘7nte Pani’ theme is clearly being delivered, keeping both housemates and viewers on their toes.
