Mumbai pubs play Doraemon theme song, sends crowds into nostalgia-filled singalong
Videos from Mumbai pubs showed crowds singing the Doraemon theme song at full volume. The scenes struck a nostalgic chord online, turning a night out into a shared childhood memory.
For many millennials and Gen Z Indians, Doraemon's theme song is more than just a cartoon intro, it's a direct ticket back to childhood. That nostalgia came flooding back recently when videos from pubs in Mumbai showed entire crowds dropping their usual party playlists to passionately sing along to the beloved tune.
The viral clips, shared by social media users who were present at the venues, captured a heartwarming scene as pub-goers collectively embraced a song more commonly associated with after-school television than a night out.
One of the videos, posted on Instagram by Sarika Usha Ambekar from the British Brewing Company in Mumbai, showed the DJ unexpectedly playing the iconic Doraemon theme song.
Within seconds, the crowd could be seen singing every word in unison, many with broad smiles on their faces as they danced with friends and recorded the moment on their phones. Ambekar captioned the video, "Date night with the one and only best friend."

Another clip, shared by Instagram user Arya from Shah Millar House in Mumbai, captured an even more energetic response. As soon as the familiar tune began playing through the speakers, the crowd erupted.
People were seen throwing their hands in the air, shouting the lyrics at the top of their lungs and jumping together as if they were attending a concert rather than listening to a cartoon theme song.
Several groups appeared to know every word by heart, turning the pub into what looked like an impromptu childhood reunion.

The videos quickly gained traction online, with viewers relating to the powerful wave of nostalgia that swept through the venues. Many pointed out that while music trends constantly change, certain songs remain permanently etched into the memories of an entire generation.
The clips also sparked a flood of reactions from social media users, who joked that perhaps "the world is healing" if adults could come together and celebrate a cartoon theme song with such enthusiasm.
Others found themselves distracted by specific moments in the videos, with some viewers particularly amused by the uninhibited dance moves of a few party-goers who appeared completely lost in the moment.
Several commenters reflected on how surreal the scenes felt, noting that they had spent years singing the Doraemon theme song after school as children, never imagining they would one day be belting out the same lyrics in pubs alongside fellow adults.
