Twists[edit]

Phones[edit]

For the first time in the seventeen-year history of Bigg Boss, housemates are allowed to use phones during this season. Bigg Boss provided each housemate with a smartphone where they can receive messages from Bigg Boss and communicate with other housemates when permitted. However, only the "Baaharwala" has access to feedback from the outside world. [20]

Baaharwala[edit]

On the premiere day, Anil Kapoor introduced the "Baaharwala" twist, where one housemate would be designated as the "Baaharwala". This person would receive information and feedback from the outside world until being fired by Bigg Boss. The "Baaharwala” would possess special powers and be immune from evictions, even if they were nominated.

Nominations Photo Lab

On Day 3, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for eviction by tearing their respective black and white photos in the Photo Lab, which was set up in the Activity Area.

After the housemates cast their votes, the nominated housemates were Deepak, Ranvir, Sai Ketan, and Sana S. However, Bigg Boss introduced a twist by only accepting the nominees chosen by the "Baaharwala"—Neeraj and Shivani—ultimately placing them in the final nomination list.
Neeraj and Shivani were nominated for first-week, mid-week eviction.
Nominations Ki Aawaaz

On Day 6, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for eviction by saying names to tree near store room by crossing pool after which name would be echoed in house.

Bigg Boss granted Bahaarwala contestant Sana Sultaan the power to revoke the nomination rights of three contestants prior to the nomination process. Sana chose to remove the nomination rights of Armaan, Payal, and Chandrika, preventing them from participating in that week's nomination process.
Armaan, Deepak, Lovekesh, Sai Ketan, Sana S and Shivani were nominated for first-week, weekend eviction.
Tasks Aaj Ka Mudda with Deepak Chaurasia

On Day 2, a debate took place among six housemates. The topic of discussion was centered around the contributions and participation of Armaan, Lovekesh, and Neeraj in the show. Ranvir, Sai Ketan, and Sana S were assigned the role of questioning the involvement of these three housemates in the house's matters, essentially acting as the "prosecuting" side in this debate format.
The defendants, Armaan, Lovekesh, and Neeraj, answered questions and countered the arguments brought forth by the "prosecuting" side. The remaining housemates formed the audience and were permitted to question each speaker as well. Deepak moderated the debate.

Winners - Armaan, Lovekesh and Neeraj
Failed - Ranvir, Sai Ketan and Sana S
Ration task - rankings

On Day 4, Bigg Boss assigned a task to the housemates to earn ration for the house by determining rankings from 1 to 16 based on each contestant's contribution to the show. However, as the housemates were unable to provide logical reasons for each ranking and appeared to be in a hurry, Bigg Boss decided to cancel the task midway. Additionally, Bigg Boss pointed out that the rankings suggested by the housemates did not align with the rankings determined by the live audience.

Task cancelled
BB pet care

On Day 5, a task was announced for assigning house duties, turning housemates into caretakers of pets. Housemates would earn points during the task, which could be used to purchase favorable house duties. In each round, three housemates would assume the role of caretakers, and a manager would assess their performance, awarding points that could be exchanged for house duty assignments. At the conclusion of the task, the names displayed on the board next to each duty would be considered final for the week.

Magical well

On Day 7, a magical well was placed in the activity area, offering housemates the opportunity to make a wish that could potentially be granted. To be eligible, the wishes had to be feasible within the confines of the house. Whenever a frog situated in the well made a sound, the activity area would be accessible, allowing one housemate to enter at a time. In order to make a wish, the housemates needed to sacrifice a personal item belonging to another contestant in the well. The number of wishes each housemate could make was directly proportional to the number of personal items they were willing to sacrifice.

Wishes were only made by Armaan, Lovekesh, Ranvir, Shivani and Vishal.
Curse Ka Kasht

On Day 9, all housemates were individually called to the confession room, where they were asked to declare to whom they wanted to give a curse that would cause them pain.

Curse of Ranvir was granted which was to take away all hair grooming products of Vishal until Bigg Boss gives again.
Punishments
  • On Days 1 and 2, the housemates consumed all the ration provided by Bigg Boss that was intended to last for a week. In response to this miscalculation, Bigg Boss provided additional fruits on Day 3 to ensure sufficient supplies for the remainder of the week.
  • On Day 4, as a result of the housemates' unsuccessful attempt at the rankings task, Bigg Boss provided an additional supply of ration to the housemates, ensuring they had adequate resources for the following seven days.
  • On Day 7, following the completion of the Magical Well task, Bigg Boss requested that five housemates nominate two housemates who would be subject to punishment. Ranvir and Shivani were ultimately chosen for the penalty, which involved holding their ears and continuously circling the well desk in the living area while saying, "Mere Pyaare Ghar Waalo, Mujhe Maaf Kardo" (Translation: "My dear housemates, please forgive me"). The punishment continued until Bigg Boss announced it to be over. However, as the punishments were not fully carried out, Bigg Boss refrained from fulfilling any wishes made by the housemates during the task.
Exits
  • On Day 5, Neeraj Goyat was evicted after facing the public vote.
  • On Day 9, Payal Malik was evicted after facing the public vote.

On Day 10, the housemates had to nominate in pairs with another housemate. They were given two options, and they had to save one and nominate the other for the midweek eviction process. They had 10 minutes to decide, and if they could not reach a decision, the pair would be nominated themselves.

Chandrika, Munisha, Naezy, Poulomi, Shivani and Vishal were nominated for second-week, mid-week eviction.

Munisha, Sana M, Sana S, Deepak, Sai Ketan, Armaan, Ranvir and Vishal were nominated for second-week, weekend eviction.
Tasks BB puppet making factory

On Day 11, a puppet show was set up in the garden area. Bigg Boss assigned three puppet masters, Ranvir, Vishal, and Shivani, who made puppets of housemates and created short shows to entertain the audience. The three puppet masters carried out their individual puppet shows. Other housemates were workers at the BB puppet making factory who made puppets for their favorite puppet master by taking material from the slide. Deepak assessed this task, quality checking all puppets, and whichever puppet master had five approved puppets would get time for shows according to the number of puppets.

The live audience served as judges and cast their votes to help their favorite puppet master win. After declaring the results, Vishal came first and won the premium ration for the house, where he had to choose any six items from a list. Shivani came second and won the regular ration for the house, where she had to choose any five items from the list. Ranvir came third and won the basic ration for the house, where he had to choose any four items from the list.

On Day 12, Bigg Boss informed the housemates that the results for the midweek eviction had arrived, with Chandrika, Munisha, and Poulomi in the bottom three, and Munisha and Poulomi in the bottom two. However, the results had not been finalized as the Baaharwala would decide whom to evict from the bottom two. The bottom two could be changed if any housemate kept moving on the stepper in fire ring for one hour, as live voting would be opened for the bottom three once again. If the stepper kept running for one hour, the results of the one-hour live voting would be considered; if it kept running for two hours, the results of the two-hour live voting would be considered; and if it kept running for three hours, the results of the three-hour live voting would be considered. Until the stepper moved, the bottom three would remain on the hill.

The housemates continuously moved the stepper for three hours, and after the live voting results were considered, the bottom two housemates remained the same as in the previous voting round.
Kaun Hai Baaharwala?

On Day 14, Bigg Boss instructed the housemates to find the Baaharwala among them by giving a task. The housemates had to choose two detectives among them who would be given the chance to interrogate three suspects among other housemates who they think could be the Baaharwala. The interrogation would take place for the time during which other housemates would have to perform certain other tasks. At the end, the detectives had to announce their verdict of their investigation that who is the Baaharwala.

The housemates chose Armaan and Sana M as the detectives who chose Chandrika, Shivani and Vishal as their suspects and Vishal as their choice for the Baaharwala which was wrong. This resulted in Baaharwala Lovekesh's retention as Baaharwala.

Tasks Lovekesh eliminated?

On Day 18, Bigg Boss informed the housemates that Baaharwala Lovekesh had been identified by Vishal, leading to his dismissal and elimination from the show. However, Bigg Boss offered a lifeline for those who wished to save Lovekesh; they had to keep rotating a 'chakki' until further instructions were given. After that, the audience would decide whether to keep Lovekesh in the show. During this time, Lovekesh was punished and handcuffed to a pillar until the next morning.

Reception[edit]

The series premiere episode was reviewed by Grace Cyril for Times Now. She wrote, "Once a powerhouse of entertainment, this season seems to have started on dull note. The High-voltage drama fell flat largely, making it a snooze fest."[24]

Pratidin Time wrote, "While Kapoor exuded his signature suave charm, attempts to engage the audience fell short, perhaps due to peculiar editing choices that diluted the impact, evident in the disjointed laughter track. Even the introduction of the first contestant, the Vada Pav Girl, lacked the anticipated punch."[25]
