Spoilers Ahead
What Was The Reason Behind Babu Tiger’s Death?
Guns & Gulaabs kicks off on a regular day with three school pals, Gangaram, Lalkrishna, and Ikhlaq, casually debating the intensity of their love interests—sounds typical, doesn’t it? But that’s just the surface. Suddenly, the scene takes a thrilling turn as you spot a man named Babu Tiger racing through the opium fields in Gulabganj, desperately evading a gang of thugs. Now this is where the notorious four-cut Atmaram comes into the picture. He viciously ends the life of Babu Tiger while Gangaram watches helplessly. He works as a goon in Ganchi’s opium empire, which thrives in Gulabganj. Ganchi’s grip on the drug trade yields hefty profits, and Babu Tiger was his right-hand man, orchestrating operations. But for his son, Tipu, none of this counts for much. Growing up, Babu Tiger’s absence denied Tipu the chance to experience fatherly love, yet a lingering connection remained, acknowledging the bond.
Here’s where the age-old rivalry between Gulabganj and Sherpur takes center stage. Nabeed, Sherpur’s ruler, emerges as the antagonist, a formidable rival to Ganchi. This rivalry is at the heart of Babu Tiger’s fate—his death was engineered by Nabeed. As Ganchi’s trusted enforcer, Babu Tiger’s demise throws a wrench into opium deals, jeopardizing the entire operation. Nevertheless, Ganchi handles the majority of the opium business, and he is getting ready for a massive deal with this guy named Sukanto from Kolkata. But here’s the catch: Sukanto is not feeling all that confident about it. Even though Ganchi’s a pro in the opium world, this deal is on a whole different level, and he’s never tackled something this big before. You know, it’s like stepping into uncharted territory for him, and the uncertainty is buzzing in the air.
Why Did Tipu Decide To Stay Away From Ganchi?
Somewhere, Ganchi starts to see potential in Tipu, almost like a chip off the old block from his father, Babu Tiger. Yet, Tipu’s heart doesn’t align with the drug world; he’s got his sights set on a peaceful life with his longtime crush, Chandralekha, who happens to teach English. Tipu managed to keep his distance from Ganchi’s business. He’s wary of stirring up more trouble for himself, preferring to steer clear of the complications that could arise. But there’s more to Tipu’s dreams. He’s not just eyeing a romance with Chandralekha or steering clear of Ganchi’s world. Nope, he’s got another wish up his sleeve. See, Tipu’s a mechanic, and what he really craves is his very own auto repair shop. He’s yearning for a life where he can call the shots, be his own boss, and put his skills to good use. It’s a bid to escape the hurdles that always seem to pop up and derail his plans.
This is the part where the threads of Tipu and Gangaram’s stories intertwine. The details mesh seamlessly as Gangaram steps up to help Tipu with a special task: writing a love letter to Chandralekha in English. Gangaram’s buddy, Lalkrishna, is quite the love-letter-writing whiz. But here’s where the twist comes in: It’s not all smooth sailing. You see, Gangaram isn’t just playing matchmaker for Tipu; it turns out, he’s got a major crush on Chandralekha himself. And guess what? She’s his teacher! So, in a twisty move, he switches the letters around, hoping to spark some drama and, in the process, leaving Tipu heartbroken.
How Does The Arrival Of Arjun Varma Change Everything In The Story?

Ganchi’s well aware of Arjun’s stand, and it’s like a card he holds up his sleeve. If Babu Tiger were still around, things would have flowed smoother. But with him gone, Ganchi’s focus shifts to keeping Arjun under his influence and ensuring he follows Ganchi’s orders to the letter, especially while the crucial deal hangs in the balance. The moment Arjun steps into the scene, he dives straight into the heart of the biggest thing buzzing in Gulabganj—the opium business. He gets his hands on all the records and files linked to the opium factories, leaving no stone unturned.
Right from day one, Arjun’s on a personal mission, personally visiting these factories to decode the entire process—how it all flows, the nitty-gritty stuff, like opium quality and its medical aspects.
