CHACHA CHAUDHARY DIGEST 2: CHACHA CHAUDHARY

Chacha Chaudhary

by Pran Kumar Sharma

Once cartoonist Pran struck upon an idea of a wise oldman who solves problems with his sharp intellect. Thus CHACHA CHAUDHARY was born in 1971.Tall and robust SABU, who is an inhabitant of planet Jupiter, gave Chaudhary an ideal company. A combination of wisdom and strength was formed to tackle any difficult task. It is said that " Chacha Chaudhary's brain works faster than a computer". Though both fight the criminals and tricksters, each episode ends with a touch of humour. The duo perform in lighter vein. The CHAUDHARY family consists of his wife Bini, a fat sharp tongue woman, Sabu, Rocket - the dog and Dag- Dag, an old truck who is half human- half machine. Chacha Chaudhary is the most popular Indian comics. More than 10 million readers enjoy this series regularly in newspapers and comic books in ten languages. A T.V. serial based on the comics has crossed 500 episodes and still continue to be telecast on premier channel "Sahara ONE".

This was pretty entertaining but I couldn't help but notice some things that changed here from the original setup. Chachi has seemed to change a great deal, more specifically her attire. And Sabu seems to have taken a keen fashion sense as well.

These still seem to bring a smile to my face and I am really enjoying these.
