Reality television just got bigger and more experimental! Only a few days into its run, Bigg Boss 19 has already set social media buzzing with its first captaincy task teaser. And this time, the makers seem to have borrowed inspiration from one of the most popular Netflix thrillers — Squid Game 2. From the theme song to the gameplay hints, everything about this task screams survival mode with a uniquely Indian twist.

A Nursery Rhyme with a Dark Twist

On the third day of the show, Bigg Boss 19 introduced the contestants (and viewers) to the captaincy task. Instead of directly unveiling the game, the teaser revealed a brand-new track titled “Ghoom Ghoom Ghoom, Ungli Par Jhoom.” While it may sound like a harmless nursery rhyme on the surface, its resemblance to the Ringa Ringa-style music in Squid Game 2 was hard to miss.

The quirky yet eerie tune set the stage for a high-pressure elimination-style task. This throwback to Squid Game 2 is not just about the music — it also seemingly signals the “one-after-another fall out” format where only one contestant will survive till the end, thereby claiming the coveted captain’s chair.

The Thanos Connection in Squid Game 2

Fans of Squid Game 2 will instantly remember the unforgettable “Thanos moment” from the series, linked to a similar song. While most players were engulfed in fear about their fate once the ride ended, the character portrayed by T.O.P (Choi Su-bong) embraced chaos differently. Caught under the influence, the character not only enjoyed the ride but even broke into his iconic Bang Bang Bang hookstep — a moment fans equated with Thanos’ philosophy of balance amidst destruction.

By echoing that very scene with its captaincy-task theme song, Bigg Boss 19 adds an extra layer of pop culture resonance, making the show relatable and widely discussed beyond its usual audience.

The Task Format: A Battle for Survival

Though the episode ended before the full mechanics of the task were revealed, clues suggest a survival-like elimination format. Contestants will likely be divided into groups where one player gets eliminated in each round until only one housemate remains standing. The finalist will secure the title of the first Captain of Bigg Boss 19.

In a twist, Baseer Ali, who was an active contender, has already been ruled out of the captaincy race. Thanks to Farhana Bhat’s decision, Baseer will instead act as the sanchalak (moderator/referee) for the task. This unexpected exclusion has already stirred drama, setting the mood for conflicts, alliances, and high-octane gameplay.

Why This Task Matters

Captaincy tasks are always high stakes in the Bigg Boss universe. Winning not only gives contestants certain privileges but also sets the tone for their influence in the house. Bringing in a Squid Game 2-inspired structure early in the season is a clever move by the makers — it creates buzz, keeps audiences hooked, and adds a global pop-culture connection to a homegrown reality format.

With its catchy yet unsettling track and survival-style framework, the Bigg Boss 19 captaincy task is shaping up as one of the most dramatic early highlights of the season. The nod to Squid Game 2’s Thanos moment elevates the intrigue, while Baseer Ali’s unexpected role shift adds spice to the unfolding drama.

As the contestants prepare for their battle of endurance, fans can’t wait to see who emerges as the first Captain of Bigg Boss 19. If this is just the beginning, the season promises nothing short of fireworks.
