Chacha Chaudhary and Dictator
Read this one in the Hindi edition.
That's the thing about Pran that the cartoons are so visually compelling that the language takes a back seat. You will never feel that something or the other is lost in the translation.
Our hero and his sidekick are pitted against an oppressive dictator who is hellbent on plying his trade.
Or as we say in hindi Apna ullu seedha karna.
Ab chahe wo pyar se ho ya war se!
