Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Munshi Ranjeet gets evicted, says 'It's upsetting to be out just as the game begins'
Bigg Boss
Malayalam Season 7, actor Munshi Ranjeet became the first contestant to be evicted, leaving housemates stunned and the audience shocked. The unexpected eviction unfolded during the Sunday episode, which broke from tradition by opening with the announcement rather than ending with it.
Host
Mohanlal
surprised the eight remaining contestants, Nevin, Gizele, Aryan, Anumol, Shaitya, Sharika, and Renu Sudhi, by asking them to stand and share their thoughts on the upcoming eviction. Most expressed confidence in their place in the house, including Munshi
Ranjeet
himself.
Adding to the tension, Mohanlal reminded the housemates about the "Pukanja Kolli Purathu" task, noting that if the contestants had used the direct eviction privilege available during the task, this outcome might have been avoided.
Without further suspense, Mohanlal revealed that Munshi Ranjeet was the first to be evicted this season. The announcement came as a shock not only to Ranjeet but also to the rest of the housemates, who were visibly emotional and confused by the sudden turn of events.
In a moment that stirred conversation among viewers, Ranjeet walked directly to the confession room without saying goodbye to anyone. Despite Bigg Boss requesting him to bid farewell and leave through the main door, Ranjeet appeared distant and avoided interactions with the other housemates during his exit.
Back on stage with Mohanlal, Ranjeet opened up about his unexpected eviction, expressing his disappointment at leaving so early in the game. '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.'

Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 Week 1 Review: Akbar Khan's ‘Septic Tank' remark, Non-Stop ‘Pani', and Nevin's comic relief
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 kicked off with a grand launch, featuring a custom-built house and 19 diverse contestants, including the show's first lesbian couple. The initial week was marked by the '7nte Pani' theme, controversies like Akbar Khan's offensive remark, and Nevin's entertaining antics. Mohanlal's sharp hosting and a heartfelt conversation between Adhila and Sariga stood out. Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 has completed its first week, and it's already proving to be a power-packed season. With a perfect mix of drama, entertainment, controversies, and emotions, the season has taken off with a bang. Let's take a closer look at the highlights of Week 1. A Grand Launch The launch episode was nothing short of a spectacle. Mohanlal stole the show, donning a traditional mundu and kurta for the premiere, a first in the show's history. Another major highlight was the reveal of the brand-new Bigg Boss mansion, the first-ever custom-built house for the Malayalam version. Despite numerous leaks online, the visuals of the house remained under wraps, making the surprise reveal worth the wait. Mohanlal's transformed persona and impactful hosting further elevated the launch. A Unique Line-up of 19 Contestants This season welcomed 19 contestants from various walks of life, each bringing something new. Notably, the inclusion of a lesbian couple (Adhila and Noora) is a first in Bigg Boss history. Actor-dancer Abhilash, who has a club foot, earned praise for representing inclusivity. The entry of Gizele Thakral, a former Bigg Boss Hindi contestant, also came as a surprise. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal? Access all TV channels without a subscription! Techno Mag Learn More Undo The 'Pani' Theme Mohanlal revealed the season's bold new theme — "7nte Pani". Contestants' personal belongings were locked away in the Panippura, and they must now earn them back through tasks. From reversing the usual norms like making the least favourite contestant the captain to assigning punishments like sleep deprivation, the show has successfully broken the monotony of past seasons. Major Controversies The house has already seen some heated moments. Shanavas's comment on Gizele's dressing was criticized for being indirectly judgmental. However, he did confront her directly, which added to the drama. The bigger controversy involved Akbar Khan , who referred to Renu Sudhi as a "septic tank". While he later apologized, the issue took a turn when Renu connected the insult to women, single mothers, and divorcees, amplifying its emotional weight. Nevin Steals the Spotlight Nevin has quickly become a fan favorite with his quirky behavior and entertaining antics, from stealing a badge to playfully mocking Bigg Boss. While his attempts to bond with everyone could be seen as strategy, his natural charm is undeniable. Other standout performers include Akbar, Aryan, and Binny. Aryan and Akbar performed well in tasks, while Binny impressed with her game sense, especially in the red zone nomination twist involving Shaitya. The Aneesh Factor Aneesh Tharayil, the first male commoner in the show, seems to be recycling past strategies, isolating himself, repeating catchphrases, and trying to spark conflict. His over-the-top tactics are causing more irritation than impact. Disappointments So Far Despite the hype, Oneal Sabu has been mostly invisible, aside from a bizarre remark calling Rena a 'Gen Alpha worm.' Shaitya is stuck in the past, still talking about lipstick and her missing turkey. Abhilash and Sariga, though not very active yet, show potential. Appani Sarath and Shanavas have tried to assert dominance, but their aggressive tones are pushing them in the wrong direction. Mohanlal on Fire The weekend episode saw Mohanlal in top form , sharp, candid, and balanced. He rightfully slammed Akbar for his comment and Adhila-Noora for calling Aneesh "shit," while also delivering witty remarks. His hilarious comeback to Gizele — "I'll get a cow so you can milk it" — was both cheeky and iconic. Moment of the Week The most touching moment came from a heartfelt conversation between Adhila and Sariga. Sariga opened up about how her perception of same-sex love changed after witnessing Adhila and Noora's relationship, a powerful example of how the show impacts not just housemates, but society at large.

‘Chennai Express on steroids': Except for some stereotyping, Janhvi-Sidharth's Param Sundari trailer impresses fans
Back in 2013, Deepika Padukone won hearts when she portrayed the role of Meenalochni Azhagusundaram aka Meenamma in Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express. Her performance, hilarious dialogues and cute chemistry with Shah Rukh Khan made the film a massive hit, but some did have a problem with the alleged stereotyping. Well, netizens got a similar vibe from the trailer of Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra's upcoming film Param Sundari today. While Janhvi's accent is not as heavy as Deepika's was, the cute chemistry between the lead stars and the light comedy has managed to impress fans. Param Sundari Trailer The trailer of Param Sundari begins with the lead actors getting to know each other better in a church through 'naughty' questions and light flirting. While Janhvi Kapoor is playing the role of Sundari from Kerala, Sidharth Malhotra is portraying the character of Param from Delhi. Sundari seems to be the owner of a guesthouse where Param is her guest. They eventually fall in love but the hilarious banter along the way is what provides us with unfiltered entertainment, like a fun dialogue about Baazigar not getting a Malayalam dub. The highlight of the trailer is the end, when Janhvi differentiates between the many film industries down South in an angry outburst. She states: 'It's India. Kerala, Malayalam, Mohanlal. Tamil Nadu, Tamil, Rajinikanth. Andhra, Telugu, Allu Arjun. Karnataka, Kannada, Yash.' Well, this trailer has received lots of love online. One impressed fan stated, 'looks vibe even though has a chennai express trying to do an srk (clearly not being able to)....janhvi looking good and doing the heavy are it wasnt for sid and janhvi's track record ..would have said it is a clean knowing vijan's track record can't even say that,' whereas another wrote, 'Chennai express on steroids . also never knew girls from Kerala can row the boat themselves 👏.' A comment read, 'Ik everyone will be arguing over the accent but her's is better than the horror of chennai express (which was stereotypical). And don't get me wrong but southindians i've met do speak like that in hindi😭 nothing wrong with it though,' whereas another netizen shared, 'Except her accent, I think it liked it.. Especially the last outburst from Janhvi😂😂 that was satisfying to watch as a south indian.' Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra in Param Sundari However, some netizens were disappointed, accusing makers of stereotyping South Indians. For instance, one social media user shared, 'bollywood steryotyping south indians is like americans steryotyping an indian accent THEY ARE SO INNACURATE IT PISSES ME OFF,' whereas another wrote, 'Janhvi's accent and diction is so bad. Other than that, looks fun.' A comment read, 'Can someone please tell them that a Malayali girl doesnt need to wear saree full time. She can wear a top and jeans, kurtis, anything,' while another opined, 'Same old South Indian stereotype film, when does Hindi movie makers realise South Indian girls doesn't wear saree and Jasmine flowers every day and what's that broken Hindi accent....' Are you excited to meet Sidharth and Janhvi as Param and Sundari in theatres on August 29?
