It's that time of the year again when Bollywood bad boy-turned-indomitable superstar Salman Khan gets to admonish warring, scheming, abusive celebrities battling for survival within Bigg Boss's home. For 90 days, around 63 cameras will be at work for our viewing (voyeuristic) pleasure as we watch celebrity inmates live in the Bigg Boss house without any connection to the outside world.

Following a successful stint as the host of Colors' popular reality show in its fourth season, previously anchored by the likes of Arshad Warsi, Shilpa Shetty and Amitabh Bachchan, the Wanted star made a limited return to co-host some of season five's (most entertaining) episodes with primary presenter Sanjay Dutt.

While Dutt's lacklustre approach was considered too feeble to handle the sensationalist, hostile spirit of the show, Khan's blunt style and cheeky humour got unanimously lauded making him the ideal choice for taking charge of season 6.

Like every past season, the 46-year-old actor has a mega hit to boast this season too. Changing up between a studded military blazer with jeans and snazzy three-piece suit, Khan performs to a medley of his popular songs from Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger and finally the official theme song of Bigg Boss 6 aka Alag Che.

The actor is in his element as usual and makes up for the opening act's lack of chutzpah with his brand of spontaneity. He rides a cycle rickshaw, blares into the microphone, fools around with contestants, tells silly jokes, makes crazy faces and gamely matches steps with Aiyyaa heroine Rani Mukerji over Dreamum Wakepum.

But more importantly, he'll make not one but three appearances in a week.Following his jig, Khan, in all his blockbuster avatars -- Radhe (Wanted), Chulbul Pandey (Dabangg), Tiger (Ek Tha Tiger), Lovely Singh (Bodyguard) and  Prem (Ready) offers us a tour of the Lonavala-based Bigg Boss abode designed by Sabu Cyril.

Everything about the house from the kitchen, hall, garden area, gym, swimming pool, smoking zone, bedrooms, a deceitful aquarium (wherein the housemates do not know they're visible to the other side) and confession room looks more flamboyant than before. Another novelty is a talking Macaw parrot who promises to pass information from here to there.

They've also placed three Monkey figures in the outdoor symbolising the classic maxim: See No Evil. Say No Evil. Hear No Evil. Given the history of showdowns in Bigg Boss courtesy the likes of Dolly Bindra, Akashdeep, Pooja Missra and Rakhi Sawant, it seems more of a gibe and less of a reminder. Still Khan emphasises throughout the first episode that the contents will be more family-oriented this time before going on to acquaint us with its 15 notorious contestants.
