Bigg Boss 5 Tamil Grand Finale LIVE: The episode is airing on Vijay Television.The finale of the fifth season of Bigg Boss Tamil is finally here. Hosted by Kamal Haasan, the show will run for nearly five hours. The broadcast of the final episode of this season is airing on Vijay Television. The viewers can also stream it live on Disney Plus Hotstar.
The fifth season was launched on October 3 last year. Usually, the new season begins in June and ends in September. The outbreak of the pandemic, however, has upset the regular calendar of the show. The fourth season went on air in September 2020 and concluded in January 2021.
The fifth season began with as many as 18 contestants who were handpicked from different social, economic and cultural backgrounds. There were also two Tamil speaking contestants of foreign origin. The diverse group of individuals made for an effective microcosm of society as they brought in different beliefs, ideologies and political thinking to the show.

All evicted contestants talk about how being part of the show has positively changed their lives. Some say they have won a permanent place in people's hearts, while others opened up how it opened new doors for them in the film industry. A few talked about the accountability that comes with people's admiration and respect.
The evicted contestants of Bigg Boss Tamil 5 make their way to the stage while dancing to Anirudh Ravichander's peppy song Jalabula Jung. Kamal Haasan says that the showrunners decided not to invite the contestants of the previous seasons keeping in mind the Covid safety protocol. And that answers the question why Aari Arujunan, Bigg Boss Tamil 4 winner, was not invited to the finale, which is a sort of a tradition. Aari had also expressed his displeasure on his Twitter page earlier on Sunday about not getting the invite he was waiting for.
The grand finale of Bigg Boss Tamil season 5 begins with a light show with dancers in LED suits. Kamal Haasan arrives on stage and makes a quick speech before inviting the evicted contestants of this season. Grab your snacks and sit tight as this episode is set to run over five hours.
