Halla Bol (2015)

Bigg Boss Halla Bol is the spin-off of the Indian reality television show Bigg Boss. It was a merger of Bigg Boss 8 similarly to the concept adopted by the Ultimate Big Brother. Five contestants from previous seasons enters the house to compete with five crowned regular entrants of the season 8 finale.[1] Farah Khan host the new format of the show,[2] as Salman bids adieu to the show because of his filming schedule of Bajrangi Bhaijaan .[3][4]

The series was won by Gautam Gulati while Karishma Tanna became the first runner-up.

This series was marked by a number of downfalls for the Big Brother franchise in India. The continuation of the regular celebrity season into an All-Stars version garnered initial media and viewer attention but the ratings for the show decreased to an all-time low with the final only managing to score a TRP of 2.82.[5] The official tabulators for the show being Ernst & Young allegedly had formed the final result based on a number of votes which was not only less than the previous seasons but also the evictions for the same series.[6] An additional statement released by the firm revealed that the percentage separating the final two contenders was lower than one whole unit indicating figurative comparison to a photo finish.[7]
