Bigg Boss (Hindi TV series) season 17

A new segment - Just Chill with Arbaaz & Sohail aired on Sunday hosted by Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan.^[5] Like BB16's segment Bigg Bulletin with Shekhar Suman, in this segment, the hosts interacted with the contestants on the events that have transpired in the particular week. They would also roast the contestants, play games with them and pull off fun gags. Weekend Ka Vaar aired on Fridays and Saturdays similar to Season 16. In Week 1 and 4, Weekend Ka Vaar was aired on Saturday and Sunday. Since Week 10, Weekend Ka Vaar aired on Saturdays and Sundays while the Just Chill segment was merged into Weekend Ka Vaar. In Week 13, Weekend Ka Vaar was aired on Sunday and Monday. For Week 7 and 13, Karan Johar hosted Weekend Ka Vaar in the absence of Salman Khan.^[6]

For first time ever in Bigg Boss' History, Grand Finale was aired on TV for 6 hours, 35 minutes and 36 seconds (ad-breaks included) where it started at 6 pm till 12:35 am midnight.^[7][8]

Like BB16, there was a Bigg Boss Anthem in the morning instead of the usual wake-up songs.

The concept of Bigg Boss 17 is "Dil, Dimaag, and Dum". The show's contestants are divided into three groups: "Dil" (Heart), "Dimaag" (Mind), and "Dum" (Strength). The contestants can choose to use any of the three approaches. Bigg Boss will participate in the game, forming alliances and showing favouritism.

The eye logo this season marked remarkable exceptions from the previous ones. It has a new orange colour palette, with many doors and windows releasing fire, and a blazing orange core acting as the pupil.^[9]

The streets of Europe inspired the theme of the house of this season.^[10] This house was referred as "Bigg Boss ka Muhallah" (trans. Bigg Boss’s Neighbourhood) with the three bedrooms as three different houses aka Makaans. There was no common dining area this season, instead, dining areas were incorporated into the respective three bedrooms. The Confession Room was designed in a Greek-Gothic style. The house had 110 cameras this season, the highest among all the seasons.^[11] Like BB16, the entrance and exit from house were through tunnel instead of main door.

On 15 September 2023, ColorsTV released a promo video on YouTube and social media, featuring Salman Khan highlighting the three new themes for this season.^[12] Dil (Heart; love), Dimaag (Mind; wit) and Dum (Power; fierceness). Then on 23 September 2023, ColorsTV released three videos, each giving glimpses of the three new concepts with Salman Khan announcing the premiere date.^[13]

The 3 bedrooms are depicted as 3 different houses resembling Dil, Dimaag and Dum. The bedrooms are:

•   Dil Bedroom (Makaan No. 1): With a separate bathroom and washing area, the room's beautiful combination of white and pink creates an ideal atmosphere for couples to connect. The Therapy Room is a new feature included in this room for the season.

    Dimaag Bedroom (Makaan No. 2): Red dominates the room's design, accompanied by larger-than-life chess pieces that fit the theme. The Archive Room, where selected housemates can access house footage, is a new addition. Also, the members of this bedroom would be responsible for the conduct of duties in the house. From Week 9 to Week 13, the bedroom became the Captain's exclusive bedroom.

    Dum Bedroom (Makaan No. 3): The room is adorned with gothic artwork, featuring mostly black. It isn’t quite comforting, challenging the tolerance and confidence of a housemate. The dining area is exclusive, and a black miniature castle in the room houses the "Answering Machine" telephone.
