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".

Chacha Chaudhary is an Indian comic classic. This book like most of the others is full of rural wit and adventure. Helps relive childhood. This is another in the long series.
It has been 25 years since I have read my first Chacha Chowdhury comics. I had a large stock of comics but alas it was all lost now. This digest is full of wit, adventure and thriller, as we expect in chacha ji's comic. Cartoon logic prevails 😂🤣 ( noticing it is a sign of aging, very bad. When I was child that logic was the most logical).
