OTHER CRIME SHOWS AND THEIR ANCHORS
Anup Soni, Crime Patrol
“The audience connects to the honesty of the show”
CrimePatrol began in 2003 on Sony, but failed to garner good TRPs. However, ever since Anup Soni started hosting
CrimePatrol, the show has done well, and features in the top 10 list. Creator-director-writer Subramanian Iyer credits it to the way Soni narrates the plots. “He talks as if he understands,” says Iyer, who gets his information from national and regional media. Brilliant acting works in favour of the show. “It is honest and makes people aware,” says Soni.
Sushant Singh, Savdhaan India@11
“We analyse the crime and make viewers aware”
Another ‘gritty’ crime show, Savdhaan
India@11 which deals with real-life crimes, airs on Life OK and is hosted by
Sushant Singh. Though similar to CrimePatrol, the actors on the show are not as good. However, Singh is an excellent and engaging narrator. “We’re not trying to glorify crime, we analyse it and make viewers aware,” says Singh. At the end of each episode, viewers are urged to share personal incidents.

Gaurav Chopra, Savdhaan India@11
“People are now open to watching violence on screen”
More than one production house handles SavdhaanIndia@11, with Gaurav
Chopra as the other host of the show. “I do episodes where people from modest backgrounds fight their oppressors,” says Chopra, who still hasn’t left a deep impact on viewers (maybe he tries too hard to please). Chopra also does his own research before
each episode. “We should not turn a blind eye to other people’s problems but do our own bit,” he says.
Karan Kundra, Gumrah
“Gumrah explores the psyche behind the reason for a crime”
Hosted by Karan Kundra, Gumrah (Channel V and Star Plus) centres on crimes committed by teenagers. Creative director of the show Vikas Gupta says, “There’s nobody to guide teenagers properly.
Gumrah shows viewers teens as they are.” Kundra is an engaging
narrator, with a good youth connect. “Gumrah is not a crime reporting
show. It explores the psyche behind the reason for committing the
crime,” he says.
