Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 is already making waves among fans—no surprise, right, considering Mohanlal is back as host and, as always, the drama’s dialed up. There’s something special about this show that pulls in even people who never thought they’d sit through a reality series. And this year, with all the behind-the-scenes tweaks and a fiery contestant mix, the curiosity is next level.
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 Timings
So, timing is everything when you’re planning to keep up with all the backbiting and plotting in real time. The grand premiere aired at 7 p.m. on August 3, 2025. But if you’re planning to follow the madness every single day, here’s what matters: regular episodes are telecast at 9:30 p.m. on Asianet, making it perfect for post-dinner entertainment.
Then on weekends, for Mohanlal’s segments—including eliminations and those spicy house interactions—tune in at 9 p.m. If you prefer watching live and unfiltered (sometimes the only way to see what’s really happening), JioHotstar’s got a 24x7 live feed for subscribers. You can literally check in on the housemates whenever you’re bored or just want to see who’s losing it over noodles.
Asianet (@asianet on Instagram) announced that Bigg Boss Season 7 is set for its grand launch today at 7 PM, streaming 24x7 on JioCinema and Hotstar. The channel teased that this season is “not just about the games, but the players too,” promising a more intense and engaging experience for viewers.

Where To Watch Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7?
The traditional way is to catch it on Asianet. They’ve got full rights to the TV broadcast, so just flip the channel at those set times. These days, watching everything on your phone is more common, so JioHotstar is where almost everyone streams the show now—live episodes, catch-up, everything, and yes, all with Mohanlal’s iconic commentary. There’s also the option to use OTTplay Premium if you’re already on that platform, with bonus features tossed in for digital viewers. So, no cable? No problem.
JioHotstar Malayalam (@JioHotstarMal) teased fans on Twitter with the #BBMS7Promo, asking who will become the first captain of Bigg Boss Season 7. The post also reminded viewers that the show is streaming 24x7, keeping the excitement alive for fans following every moment.

How To Watch Bigg Boss Malayalam in the UAE for Free?
Okay, here’s a part I see popping up a lot in Malayali expat WhatsApp groups. If you’re in the UAE and want to tune in without paying up big bucks, officially, there’s no straight-up “free” legimate stream, but there are workarounds. The easiest legal route is YuppTV—sometimes they throw in trial periods or discounts, and you can access Asianet Malayalam through them. But keep an eye: mostly, these services are paid or bundled with other South Indian channels.
A lot of folks sidestep geo-blocks using VPNs and then stream JioHotstar like they would in India. But you gotta watch out, sometimes the VPN method is glitchy and, officially, not endorsed for copyright reasons, so use at your own tech risk. Just don’t trust dodgy “free streaming” sites—most are either malware traps or get shut down super quick.
There you go. This season looks like classic Bigg Boss—new house, fresh faces, and Mohanlal still setting the bar for reality TV hosts. If you’re a proper fan, you probably already have a favorite contestant. Give it a couple more weeks—think we’re gonna see some serious twists before it’s all over.
