CHACHA CHAUDHARY AND TEMPLE THIEF: CHACHA CHAUDHARY COMICS

Rate this book
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".

Unfaded Childhood Memory

I had always fond of this character. Since my childhood the only magazine I liked and read every other issue, is of Chacha Chaudhary. Now to sale more this is available in English mostly, but at that time it was only in Hindi. Amazing memories with this magz.
Funny and humorous Chacha, and dumb but super strong Sabu. Even now it has its magic. Not from that time though, maybe because I was a child or maybe 'cos now I'm more mature leaving that childishness hidden somewhere.
But that smile on my face while going through every single page of this made me remember those childhood days and I'm this gonna put this rating onto it.
For me it's 4.5/5.0

Not as good as the classics , but still is a good fun

Picked this up since Chacha Chaudhary used to be one of my favorites growing up , and it was free to read with my prime subscription .

Pran , the creator of chacha Choudhary made this character as a typical Indian Punjabi elderly , who is smarter than a computer and solves mysteries , small and big ones , in a small rural town . He is accompanied by his pet vegetarian dog , his friend an alien with super strength from the planet Jupiter and his wife .

Back in the days I used to read these books , Chacha Chaudhary used to be about charm and intellect . This book written predominantly in this day and age , when Pran has now passed away , and this book comes across a very simplistic book with no wit or mystery solving.

That said , it wasnt a book that made me angry or bored or frustrated , it was just fun and simple

आजकल प्राण द्वारा कृत चरित्रों के साथ खिलवाड़ की जा रही है। उनके मूल रूप बदल कर उन्हें एक बचकाने रूप में पेश किया जा रहा है।
बेशक पहले की बनिस्पत अब आर्टवर्क बेहतर है पर डायलॉग अब काफी हलके हैं और कोई नयापन और रोचकता नहीं बची है।

Pathetic story lines

That's overall feedback. One or two stories carry some sense. Rest are written just to fill pages. Too bad quality.

Childhood memories refreshed

I am giving it this rating as it refreshed my childhood memories of reading hard paper comics. I liked the digital version of it. Digital version has made it so convenient to download and access it. Also navigation is so nice and these comic books are so colorful. I love reading this for my son and myself.

The original/nostalgic feeling is no more

The original/nostalgic feeling is no more, its evident that it's not written by the late Pran sir. Somebody else is just using the creation to earn money.
