House theme

edit

The season 5 Bigg Boss house was set up in Mumbai Film City. The BB house was designed and conceptualized by the film director Omung Kumar.[8] The Bigg Boss mansion draws inspiration from Kerala's tharavadu architecture, featuring pillars, mural art, and a front elevation reminiscent of traditional houses. The main door resembles an old warship, adorned with 3D cannon projections. Throughout the house includes artwork, such as the Ardhanari design, 3D bulls, and war elephants. It also includes a chit-chat corners, a garden area with a pool and gym, and a jail with nearby seating. The living area's lotus-patterned flooring, animal-themed paintings, and separate wooden seats replace the traditional long couch. The dining area has a 16-seater table, animal skin-designed cushion covers, and a fish-shaped chandelier. The kitchen showcases a traditional touch with hanging chapati and artworks. The bedroom's walls feature Kathakali face drawings and eerie 3D designs. This season, there are no separate rooms for men and women. The confession room features war-themed decor, while the washroom area embraces a greenhouse theme with bamboo and plant designs. The seating arrangement exhibits an eye design reminiscent of the Bigg Boss eye surrounded by straws, akin to a traditional temple procession's alavattam.[9]

The outcome of the tasks will affect the luxury budget and audience judgment, with winners and losers determined for each task. The challenge for the housemates is to complete all four tasks without any fights escalating out of control or exceeding the limits.
The pledge for the task, which all teammates should recite together before every task, is as follows: "We promise that for the luxury budget and individual gains, we will engage in healthy competition. We will approach the competition with the full spirit of sportsmanship."
In the garden area, there is a buzzer that any housemate can press if they believe another housemate is crossing the limits of behavior, leading to an immediate halt of the task. If the buzzer is pressed during a task, that specific round should be restarted. However, if the buzzer is pressed three times during a task, that particular task will be eliminated. In the event of a task being eliminated in this manner, a reduction of 25% will be made to the total luxury budget.

Nominations Day 92: Akhil, Cerena, Junaiz, Nadira, Reneesha, Shiju and Sobha were nominated for the finale voting process.
Money Box Day 93–94: On day one, Bigg Boss placed five boxes, each containing a secret amount of money. The housemates decided the order in which the boxes would be opened. On the first day, they had the option to ask for four boxes to be opened. They had until midnight of that day to choose whether to take the money and quit the show. If no one chose to leave after midnight, the opened boxes would be sealed and removed from the task. If a housemate decided to take the money and quit, the task would be completed and the amount would be deducted from the final prize pool.
Day 1 opened boxes
Box 1 Box 2 Box 3 Box 4
₹650,000 (Box 4) ₹300,000 (Box 1) ₹425,000 (Box 5) ₹150,000 (Box 2)
On day two, Bigg Boss placed six boxes. The order in which the boxes would be opened was determined by the housemates, with each box being opened after the sound of a buzzer. Once a box was opened, it would be sealed and removed from the task when the next buzzer sounded. If any contestant desired to take the money and quit the show, they had to make that decision before the subsequent buzzer. If a housemate decided to take the money and quit, the task would be completed and the amount would be deducted from the final prize pool.
Day 2 opened boxes
Box 1 Box 2 Box 3
₹350,000 (Box 2) ₹500,000 (Box 3) ₹775,000 (Box 6)
