Chacha Vidhayak Hain Humare

I only like to watch witty sitcoms and this is my first Indian web-series. I must say, great work by Zakir Khan. The characters are simple and very relatable for anyone who has experienced life in any Indian town. Every episode has a subplot which is complete in itself, adds richness to the characters and builds up the story for the final climax which comes in the last few episodes.

A relatively unknown but skillful cast does a great job at keeping things realistic and refreshing. Once again, amazing work by Zakir Khan on all aspects. I would love to see more seasons of this series.

Story of boy at every 'nukkad', real-original and beautiful. He is 'jugadu' but sensitive and family oriented. Zakir executed it just perfect. Most loved scene is when he finds the father at interview. Anwar is wonderful, Avantika is average. Every episode keeps you engaged totally, evenly distributed content for web series. Title song is also a hit. MLA portion goes bit filmy but can be ignored. All in all a good experience, 'paisa vasool' . All the best Zakir n team.

I genuinely cant remember the last time I watched a Hindi television show. It must have been Shanti or something in the mid 90's when cable television was yet to reach India. If there was an apocalypse and hindi television shows were the only shows that survived I would rather just stare blankly out of the window. That is how much I look down upon hindi shows.

I am not a big fan of Zakir Khan either. His pitch modulation irritates me. It goes from normal to inaudible at times. I have tried watching some of his standup sitting mighty close to the computer but then I gave up. Comedy is supposed to be relaxing and if you have to strain your ears to figure out what is being said then the whole purpose of it gets lost.

So I was really not looking forward to watching the show but Amazon keeps reminding me that there are unused services on my prime account. So one fine day I decided to give an episode a try. I was genuinely expecting it to be one of those try-hard shows that I could shut down after 5 mins but I was wrong.

What was most impressive about the show is that it is an absolute breeze to sit through. I love Jim Parsons The Big Bang Theory & Gavin Belson's Silicon Valley but I struggle to sit through 20 mins of those shows without taking a few breaks. I finished watched Chacha Vidhayak Hain Hamare in just 2 days. its not exactly a comedy but more of a comedy-drama with some seriously funny bits. I had to rewatch the scene where they tie him to the back of the car and drive around in circles coz I couldnt stop laughing.

Another impressive thing about the show is the casting though at times you can tell the seasoned actors from the novices. The actor who plays the father is a brilliant casting. They generally cast him in negative roles in Bollywood and I hope that based on this show they give him bigger and better roles in movies. The lady who plays the mother is also a good actor. The sister is really beautiful. Zakir Khan holds his own but as the season progresses and the episodes become serious you can tell that he is out of his depth.

I am not a big fan of the ending but they seem to have laid the groundwork for next season. Lets hope Zakir Khan can emulate himself though it will not be easy. If the average hindi televison shows that air in India were half as good as Chacha Vidhayak Hain Hamare then the collectibe IQ of the viewers would definitely improve.

Very impressive show. Definitely a must watch.

A good time pass series to watch with your family. Good usage of its story and elements of comedy.

Zakir khan take a bow. A class act from start to finish. Zakir khan plays ronnie, a boy next door in indore. The things that really work so well are the character sketches, the characters are real and feels like we know them in real life.

Zakir is not your typical leading man, and that is what is so good, he doesn't try to be handsome, rugged or any other Indian Male hero Stereotype instead he plays the character, a simpleton looking for some respect and his place in society.

The other actors shine as well, Ronnie's two friends play their parts to the T, Venus singh as Avantika is very relate able and she brings in an innocence and lightness to the show as well.

Ronnie's dad is every dad I know, especially my own. The small nuances in dialogue and setup is truly commendable. Overall the plots are really interesting and keep you on your toes, you want ronnie to win, to sort the problems out and to come out on top.

The cinematography is simple, without ever intruding into the characters' spaces, you feel like you're looking into someone's life. The music is very catchy, Overall super potential here to make something very enjoyable that a whole family can watch inspite of all the cuss words.

Indian Television content today is in such a horrible state that definitely they can take a leaf or two from this book and learn. Great job to the whole team, casting directors, production crew and editors, Looking forward to season 2 and many more.
