[BookishDramas · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is amazing how these books still make their mark despite following a very basic storyline. Chacha Chaudhary with his rural north Indian wit of generations and fast thinking and his trusted aide and resident alien Sabu move around solving problems for everyone with Chacha's brain and Sabu's brawn.
The books predominantly translated from Hindi lose a little bit in terms of meaning, grammar, etc. but make do with the moral bylines.
