Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 set for shoot on 'Georgekutty's August 2', fans excited about Drishyam connection
The highly anticipated Bigg Boss Malayalam 7, hosted by superstar
Mohanlal
, is all set to premiere on August 3. But what's caught the attention of fans across the state isn't just the glitzy return of the hit reality show; it's the intriguing connection to one of Mohanlal's most iconic films, Drishyam.
The show's shoot is scheduled for August 2, a date that holds a special place in the hearts of Malayalam cinema lovers. In Drishyam, August 2 is the day Georgekutty — the character played by Mohanlal — masterfully stages a fake alibi involving a family retreat to a church event at "Parel Palli", covering up a crime and rewriting cinematic history in the process. The clever move by the
Bigg Boss
team to align their shoot with this date has created a wave of excitement and nostalgia among fans.
Social media platforms are buzzing with theories and excitement over the subtle nod to Drishyam. Many fans are speculating that this symbolic gesture may set the tone for a season full of strategic gameplay and psychological drama, very much in the spirit of Georgekutty himself.
Adding to the excitement, the official teaser for Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 features several iconic references to Mohanlal's blockbuster films, including Thudarum and Lucifer.

Dinosaur Grow a Garden Corruption Update on July 26, 2025: Check new corrupt mutations, seeds, corrupt channeler, Kitsune NPCs
Roblox's Dinosaur Grow a Garden has officially entered its darker phase with the launch of the Corrupted Event Update, which went live today at 7:00 AM (PT). This pivotal expansion shifts the game's Zen-themed tranquility into chaos, introducing the Corrupt mutation, the enigmatic Corrupt Channeler, and the brand-new Corrupted Kitsune NPC, along with multiple seeds, pets, and high-stakes gameplay mechanics. The franchise Zen Aura event now has a chance each hour to mutate into the Corrupt Zen Aura, during which fruits can randomly gain the Corrupt mutation, distinguished by a swirling red aura. These mutated fruits offer a massive 25× sale value multiplier, making them highly coveted. Players submit Tranquil-mutated fruits to the Corrupt Channeler NPC to earn Corruption Points that grow the Corrupt Tree at the center hub. As corruption levels increase, players unlock further mutations and clear tiered rewards. Each hourly Zen event resets corruption progression.

Completing this balancing act unlocks special rewards including seeds and high-tier pets. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Digital Marketing: How I Succeeded [Read] modern media blueprint Learn More Undo New Seeds Six new seeds have joined the game with this update: Live Events Sakura Bush, Dezen, Lucky Bamboo, Enkaku, Tranquil Bloom, and Elder Strawberry (plus Fruitball linked to the Travis Kelce event). Lucky Bamboo is particularly lucrative with an average sell price of ~110,000; Enkaku clocks ~77,000; Elder Strawberry hovers around ~81,000. Some seeds drop via Kitsune Chests, others directly from the Corrupt Channeler or Zen shop. Corrupted Kitsune Pet Arguably the star of the update is the Corrupted Kitsune, a rare and exotic pet rumored to drop from Kitsune Chest or Exotic Kitsune Chest, with only a 1 per cent chance—making it one of the rarest pets so far. Its passive ability is devastating: it removes nine existing mutations from nine different fruits on your plot and then applies Corrupted Chakra to one random fruit—sometimes upgrading to Foxfire Chakra, a much rarer aura. It's also among the most hunger‑demanding pets, requiring ~50,000 hunger units. Corrupt Staff: Operates like Star Caller, granting Corrupt mutation to nearby plants during Corrupt Aura events. Corrupt Mutation Spray: Allows you to manually apply Corrupt mutation to a selected crop. Corrupted Pet Mutation Shard: Available in the Zen shop using Chi points or Robux, to give pets Corrupt mutation traits. Corrupted Kodama Pet: A rare spawn with ~4.35 per cent chance from Corrupt Tree rewards, with a 4 per cent chance to mutate crops at harvest. FAQs Q1. How do I get Corrupt and Tranquil mutations in Grow a Garden? A1. Corrupt and Tranquil mutations occur during Zen Aura events, which happen every hour. Q2. What are the best new seeds in the Corrupted Update? A2. The Corrupted Update (July 26, 2025) added several high-value seeds to Grow a Garden. Some of the best include: Lucky Bamboo – Average value: ~110,000 coins, Elder Strawberry – Average: ~81,000 coins, Enkaku – Average: ~77,000 coins.

Divya Deshmukh devastated in FIDE Women's World Cup final draw against Koneru Humpy
Divya Deshmukh devastated (Screengrabs) The first game of the FIDE Women's World Cup final between 19-year-old Divya Deshmukh and 38-year-old Grandmaster (GM) Koneru Humpy ended in a tense draw on Saturday in Batumi, Georgia. But it was the emotion on Divya's face at the end, hands covering her disappointment, that told the real story of a missed opportunity. Watch: Making her debut in a major final, Divya came in with bold intent. Playing with the white pieces, she surprised many by opening with 1.d4, a move she hadn't played all tournament. It was a clear sign of targeted preparation. For the first hour, the young International Master (IM) held a clear edge, pushing Humpy onto the back foot with sharp, aggressive moves. But as the clock ticked and pressure mounted, Divya began using significant time for key decisions. The advantage slowly began to slip away. Humpy, ever composed, showed why she's long been India's top female player. She neutralised the pressure with precise calculation and calm defence, turning the tables slowly without ever forcing the issue.

Her ambition was evident, but so was her fatigue. Eventually, neither player found a breakthrough. After 41 intense moves, the game concluded in a draw through repetition, a fitting result for a match that swung both ways but never fully tipped. Poll Who do you think will win the FIDE Women's World Cup final? Divya Deshmukh Koneru Humpy It's too close to call I don't follow chess For Divya, the disappointment was visible, not from the result itself, but perhaps from knowing she had a chance to land a crucial early blow. Game 2 will see Humpy take the white pieces. With one more classical game left, and possible tiebreaks after that, this final between experience and youth is just getting started.
