Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Animal mask teaser disappoints fans; Netizens ask 'Is this the tough '7nte Pani' host Mohanlal hinted at?'
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 faces criticism. The show promised fresh content but the latest task disappoints viewers. The 'Animal Mask Task' involves contestants mimicking animals. Fans mock the task's simplicity online. They compare it to a children's game. Viewers express concern over the show's declining quality. They want more engaging and strategic challenges. Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7, which kicked off with bold promises to break clichés and bring freshness to the franchise, has so far delivered a season filled with drama, unpredictability, and high-voltage emotions. However, the latest teaser for an upcoming task seems to have missed the mark entirely, leaving fans disappointed and flooding social media with sarcastic jabs. In the newly released promo, housemates are seen participating in what's being called the "Animal Mask Task." The contestants are split into two teams and asked to face a wall displaying various animal faces. Each contestant selects an animal mask and hides behind a partition, while the opposing team tries to guess which animal has been picked by whom. In the teaser, Sarika is seen choosing a snake, saying she's 'a bit poisonous,' while Appani Sarath picks a rhino, claiming he has 'tough skin.' As the task progresses, contestants emerge from behind the partition mimicking their chosen animals, leading to a guessing game filled with awkward moments and forced theatrics. The teaser was met with swift backlash online, with fans questioning the creativity and relevance of the task. Many were quick to recall host Mohanlal 's statement during the recent weekend episode, where he hinted at an upcoming week filled with 'tough and eventful tasks.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Following the teaser, netizens couldn't help but mock the makers, asking whether this was the "7nte Pani" the actor had promised. Social media was abuzz with sarcastic comments: 'Is the task decided by someone from Kochu TV?' 'Is this LKG class or Bigg Boss?' 'Some balloon bursting task would've been better than this.' 'Promo is not a promise—clearly proved.' 'Bigg Boss, please stop these Anganwadi-level tasks.' One viewer wrote, 'It's boring to even watch the LIVE feed now—there's no real content, and the tasks are silly. Where is the actual weekly task?' The criticism highlights a growing concern among viewers that despite a promising start, the show is beginning to lean on gimmicky, low-effort tasks that fail to engage the audience. What was expected to be a high-stakes, strategy-driven week is now being compared to a children's game show.
