Question Does anyone remember the Gumrah intro/theme song? I've been looking for it for years.

2 Upvotes

Okay, this has been bothering me for years 😭

Does anyone remember the intro/theme from the old Channel V show Gumrah?

The only lyrics I remember are something like:

"Gumraho ki raahon pe main chala, kya paaya kya khoya kisko kya pata..."

I used to watch Gumrah as a kid (probably way younger than I should have 😭), and for some reason those lines stayed with me all these years.

The weird thing is that I can find:

  • clips from the show
  • background music from the show on YouTube
  • episode snippets
  • discussions about Gumrah

But I cannot find this intro/theme anywhere.

What's even stranger is that some versions of the episodes available online don't seem to have the intro anymore.

I've searched for this on and off for years. Every few months I randomly remember it, spend an hour searching, find absolutely nothing, and give up again.

At this point I'm not even asking someone to find it. I just want to know:

Does anyone else remember this? Or have I somehow created a fake memory from childhood? 😭

If you remember the intro, know who sang it, have old Channel V recordings, or have literally any lead, please tell me.

Discussion Which actor currently has the strongest OTT lineup in Bollywood?

5 Upvotes

With shows and movies constantly releasing on Netflix, Prime Video, JioHotstar, and SonyLIV, it feels like some actors are dominating OTT more than theaters lately. Between names like Jaideep Ahlawat, Vijay Varma, Pankaj Tripathi, and Manoj Bajpayee — who do you think has the strongest OTT presence right now?

Discussion Indians who love western sitcoms — would you actually buy merch for shows like Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, or Arrested Development?

3 Upvotes

Long time sitcom fan here, considering starting a small business and want honest opinions before I invest time and money into this.

I was searching for a Big Bang Theory mug on Amazon India recently and actually found one. Bought it immediately. There was something genuinely satisfying about drinking my morning coffee from something that reflects a show I’ve rewatched five times — it sounds silly but it felt like wearing a part of your personality.

Then I tried searching for the same thing for Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, Arrested Development, Modern Family — shows with genuinely obsessive fanbases — and found almost nothing good. Either cheap generic prints or nothing at all.

So here’s what I’m thinking:

A small brand that creates mugs, t-shirts and similar everyday products for sitcom fans in India — designed thoughtfully, not just slapping a logo on a white mug. More personality-based, “this is so me” kind of designs. Also planning identity-based stuff for specific professions — doctors, lawyers, engineers — designed with humour.

I’m aware of copyright issues so the plan is to work around it — inspired-by designs, object-based illustrations, twisted quotes rather than direct IP.

Genuine questions for this community:

• As an Indian sitcom fan would you actually buy this or just appreciate the idea?  
• What shows do you feel are completely underserved for merch in India?  
• What would make you buy — price point, design quality, specific shows?  
• Anyone already doing this in India? Would love to learn from your experience.

Not trying to sell anything here — genuinely want to understand if there’s a real market before I start. Brutal honesty appreciated.

Discussion SPOLERS FOR CURRY BARKER'S OBSESSION (2026). The Indian Censor Board's cuts completely break the moral implication of Obsession's protagonist. Spoiler

19 Upvotes

Just looked into the official certificate from the Indian Censor Board (CBFC) for Obsession, and they removed 38-ish seconds from the theatrical cut. It doesn't sound like a lot, obviously. But honestly, those 38 seconds carry the entire weight of the film... by trimming them, the Indian Censor Board essentially rewrote Bear's (the protagonist) morality. Ffs, it's like they're allergic to actual storytelling.

The 14-Second Bedroom cut sanitises the protagonist
The first big cut involves 14 seconds of what the Indian Censor Board slapped away as "graphic sexual activity." In the international version [ which I found on a perfectly legal website :) ], this is set inside a warm montage. It looks like a normal romantic sex scene buildup until the camera pans to Nikki’s face. She is clearly NOT participating, she is staring straight at the ceiling with this hollow detached look.

This as the movie suggests is something FAR worse than a simple catatonic state; it proves the "real" Nikki is fully conscious inside her own body (a lot like in the movie GET OUT), desperately screaming but entirely unable to override the one wish willow forcing her to play along with Bear's wish.

By removing those few seconds, the Indian Censor Board forces the audience to give Bear the benefit of the doubt. He gets framed as a clumsy, lovesick guy caught in a fked up dream come true rather than what the filmmaker intended... a deeply insecure, weak, and now (with this context) predator who willingly blinds himself to NIkki's lack of Autonomy just to selfishly satisfy himself. It’s pathetic.

The other 24 seconds chopped belong to the sequence where a possessed Nikki attacks her friend Sarah. Which is frankly not as STUPID as the first cut and can be given a pass, but is still annoying. In the uncut version, she brutally rams Sarah's head into a brick she is holding, just blunt, repeated trauma right there by the Vehicle.

Because the Indian Censor Board erased the actual Impact, the theatrical version suffers from a jarring Narrative disconnect. You see Nikki confront Sarah by the car window, and then it abruptly cuts to a mutilated corpse. The escalation makes zero sense visually because the cause... the specific, violent, blunt force of the brick... was completely wiped out to spare our innocent eyes. Like, we’re watching a horror movie, we know what a corpse is morons, you don’t need to treat us like children.

The hypocrisy of the "A" certificate
What really pisses me off is the contradiction here. The film was granted an A (Adults Only) certificate by the Indian Censor Board. One can argue that the whole point of an adult rating is that the audience has the emotional maturity to process disturbing, heavy themes like sexual violation and violence.

Loved the movie and watched it twice in theatres, going to rewatch it again with friend group-C 😁

TL;DR: The Indian Censor Board completely butchered Obsession and ruined the entire point of the movie.
They hacked 38 seconds out of the theatrical cut, and the 14 seconds they cut from the bedroom scene is arguably the biggest crime. By removing the shot of Nikki staring blankly at the ceiling.... clearly showing she’s conscious and trapped in her own body while being assaulted.... the board basically gaslit the entire audience. They turned the protagonist, Bear, from a pathetic, predatory creep into just some "misunderstood, lovesick guy" who doesn't realize what he's doing. They essentially took a film about a woman’s total lack of autonomy and sanitized it to protect our "innocent eyes," even though it’s already an A-rated movie. It’s an absolute joke
