Bigg Boss 9 Telugu: Makers Plan Special Show ‘Bigg Boss Aarambham’ to Select Commoners

The excitement around Bigg Boss 9 Telugu continues to grow, and fans now have another major update to look forward to! The makers of the show are set to introduce a unique pre-launch segment to spotlight commoner contestants before the main season kicks off.

Earlier rumors suggested there would be no separate show to select commoners, but the latest development confirms otherwise. In a surprising move, the team behind Bigg Boss has announced a special curtain-raiser titled ‘Bigg Boss Aarambham’, which will serve as a platform to showcase and shortlist non-celebrity participants.

The concept was born out of overwhelming public response — thousands of entries poured in when the makers opened up applications for the commoner category, leaving them stunned by the enthusiasm.

According to sources, 40 shortlisted contestants will appear in Bigg Boss Aarambham and participate in a series of tasks, challenges, and on-screen evaluations. From this pool, a select few will earn their place in the official Bigg Boss 9 house, joining the celebrity participants when the season premieres in September 2025.

This format gives deserving everyday individuals a rare opportunity to shine on national television alongside stars, continuing the show’s tradition of blending glamour with relatability.

With this innovative approach, Bigg Boss Telugu 9 is promising to be bigger and bolder than ever.

Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9: Buzz Around Singer Sriteja’s Entry

The highly anticipated Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 is all set to return with more drama, entertainment, and surprises. Despite controversies surrounding the format, the show continues to enjoy massive popularity across audiences. As the launch date approaches, speculation over the contestant lineup has already begun.

Bigg Boss, a pan-Indian reality show, has seen huge success in languages like Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. Telugu audiences, in particular, eagerly await each season, making it a prime-time sensation. With promos already being aired, discussions are heating up online about potential housemates.

As always, the upcoming season will include a mix of celebrities, TV personalities, and selected members from the general public. Reports suggest that the final selection of contestants is scheduled for the second week of August. This time, however, sources reveal that the makers are being extra cautious in finalizing participants.

One of the most talked-about names currently is Singer Sriteja. Known for his romantic melodies and impressive discography in Telugu cinema, Sriteja has carved a niche for himself. He has been delivering hit songs and winning the hearts of music lovers across the state.

In line with tradition — where at least one contestant from the music industry is featured every season — Sriteja is rumored to be the music industry’s representative in Season 9. If the buzz turns out to be true, fans can expect some musical moments and melodious drama inside the house.

Stay tuned for official confirmation as Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 gears up to premiere soon.

Sir Madam Movie Review: Vijay Sethupathi & Nithya Menen Shine in Uneven Family Drama

Sir Madam (Telugu) Review: Strong Performances, Weak Script

Release Date: August 1, 2025
Language: Telugu (Dubbed from Tamil Thalaivan Thalaivii)
Genre: Family Drama
Starring: Vijay Sethupathi, Nithya Menen, Yogi Babu
Director: Pandiraj
Music: Santhosh Narayanan
OTT Status: Not yet streaming

Story Summary:

Agasaveeran (Vijay Sethupathi) runs a humble tiffin center and lives a content life with his wife Arasi (Nithya Menen). However, their seemingly perfect marriage begins to crumble over petty disagreements. The relationship takes a nosedive, leading to a separation and divorce proceedings. Just when it seems things can’t get worse, one incident changes the equation entirely. Can love survive daily chaos, or is separation inevitable?

What Works (Plus Points):

  • Vijay Sethupathi & Nithya Menen share excellent chemistry, capturing the emotional tug-of-war in married life.

  • A powerful pre-climax scene where Vijay delivers a deeply moving monologue about familial responsibilities.

  • Subtle, situational comedy that arises organically from character interactions.

  • Santhosh Narayanan’s score adds emotional gravity, especially during key transitions.

What Doesn’t Work (Minus Points):

  • The core conflict feels stretched, with repeated arguments making the screenplay feel stagnant.

  • The non-linear narrative comes off as confusing rather than refreshing.

  • Too many side characters clutter the screen without contributing meaningfully.

  • Yogi Babu is underutilized and mostly relegated to a background presence.

  • The second half drags, and the emotional outbursts begin to feel exaggerated and tiring.

Technical Aspects:

  • Direction: Pandiraj aims for slice-of-life realism but misses due to weak narrative cohesion.

  • Music: Santhosh Narayanan’s score uplifts the film emotionally; songs are serviceable.

  • Cinematography: M. Sukumar provides functional visuals without much flair.

  • Editing: Pradeep E. Raghav could’ve trimmed the runtime to help pacing, especially in Act 2.

  • Production Values: Decent, but nothing stands out.

Verdict:

Sir Madam is a flawed yet sincere attempt at portraying the complications of modern relationships. It benefits greatly from the lead pair’s natural performances, but struggles with repetitive conflicts, tonal loudness, and screenplay fatigue. It may appeal to fans of emotional family dramas, but casual viewers should temper expectations.

 Rating: 2.75/5

Housefull 5A & 5B Now Streaming Free on Amazon Prime Video

Both versions of Bollywood’s murder-mystery comedy Housefull 5—5A and 5B have shed their paywalls. After debuting in June 2025 with a ₹349 rental fee each, Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B are now included at no extra cost for all Amazon Prime subscribers.

Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the twin narratives feature two distinct endings and murderers, delivering double the chaos and replay value.

Thanks to pre-release deals (including ₹90 crore from OTT rights), Housefull 5 recouped most of its production costs before its free-streaming debut.

Starring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, Johnny Lever, Chunky Pandey, Shreyas Talpade, and Nana Patekar, both versions are now ready for unlimited streaming—no additional rentals, no catches.
