Zakir Khan and Kumar Varun in Chacha Vidhayak Hain Humare (2018)

User reviews

Chacha Vidhayak Hain Humare

125 reviews
8/10

WHat Indian Television desperately needs.

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.

Great script, realistic, funny and refreshing.

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.

Real story, great acting, love it !

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.

A beautiful show with a pathetic ending

The show was flowing really beautifully until the ending part. Ronnie who was such an honest boy working under a person who claimed himself to be a murderer wasn't something I could digest.

Ok Ok

Its a very simple yet real show! It actually shows the kind of people in our society and touches the cute emotion of people in diffenrent situation. Poeple might be giving less rating because a lot is expected from zakir. To be honest, his acting is not that good excelt in episode 6-7 where he touches the Sad expressions according to script. Other than that, story is very simple, taken from the streets of our society.

An honest attempt - kudos to Zakir

The show takes a couple of episodes to grip on to its audience, but for people like me, with childhood spent in 90s, this show is a refresher. To throw perspective, my grandad (83 now), told me - "chacha vidhayak hai hamare" laga le (put on "chacha vidhayak hai hamare").

It has a very decent cast, with most of the actors holding their ground, except Zakir Khan, but then by the end of the season he too manages to connect to the audience and make them feel his helplessness (so called).

Though I would say it is not Zakir's acting that we are supposed to appreciate here, but his writing, his witty lines (listen hard, you may miss more than you think) and the way he is able to draw a connection and come out a winner in the end, and a loser at the same time.

Like he said in the series - jhooth bhaut bole hain, but dhokha nahi diya kisi ko aaj tak (have lied a lot but haven't betrayed anyone yet), the series can work a few aspects, but has one thing that is most important - soul.

Not so impressive but entertaining!

Most of the people will find it out as most epic and most of them will find it out as most worst but I find it out as your taste in series's. Zakir has done something worth remembering. But kids should not get motivated by watching this. Kids will tend to become politician now and that's something not good. Otherwise, it's a good content to watch. Thankyou.

Waste of time.

Useless series to watch unless you are a die hard fan of Zakir khan

No story line, meaningless act and forcefully created content. What's the use of making such series when it doesn't have anything to watch.

Worth a watch for the end

I watched it only for Zakir Khan. The buildup is slow in the first 4 episodes, and some of these plots focussing on romance are boring. But the real potential of Zakir Khan shines in the later episodes which are more emotional, and get tense.

Funny Show which Can Be enjoyed With Your Family

The show starts off with Ronny(Zakir Khan) coming back to Indore via train. His cronies Anwar & Kranti receive him at the station. He comes out from the AC compartment by threatening the security guard that "Chacha Vidhayak Hai Humare". The show revolves around Ronny & the hilarity that ensues thanks to his tall claim that the local MLA is his uncle. Truth is there no connection whatsoever between the local MLA & him. But all his friends including his crush Avantika believe his claims that the local MLA is his uncle. He uses this fake association with the MLA to lord over his friends, threaten random strangers & to impress his crush. Ronny is a street smart, smooth talker who is no aim to land a plush job. He wants a cushy job at a bank & earn money with minimum effort. His character will remind people of Salman Khan's character - Radhe Mohan in Tere Naam. The characters in the show even mention the legendary character in one of the episodes. He has a government employee father - brilliantly portrayed by Zakir Hussain, dramatic mother & a nosy sister. Does Ronny get caught in his lie or does he manage to evade getting caught throughout? Does he manage to make Avantika fall for him? Does he land a job at a bank? This is what forms the big part of the story.

Zakir Khan is a gifted topic. Fans of his stand up acts will be able to associate the jokes which he cracks about him going all out to woo his crush & him running around Avantika in the show. Zakir's comic timing & dialogues are hilarious. The other show stealer is veteran actor Zakir Hussain. His acting is brilliant. He is brilliant as the hapless father. His dialogues especially " Zindagi main Salman Banna, Radhe Mohan nahi" will be remembered by fans of this show for years to come. The character who plays Avantika looks pretty. Ronny's cronies do a good job. Rest of the supporting cast too is decent.

There are no flaws that we can think of. At barely 25 odd mins per episode, there are barely any time for your mind to wander. The script writers have done a fab job of keeping the viewers glued to their screens throughout. Amazon Prime has a good track record & they do not disappoint.

It is a show which should be enjoyed with your entire family. Well done Zakir Bhai!

Good for the laughs but not good enough to be put on a premium streaming service like Amazon Prime

Let's get real - we all came to watch Chacha Vidhayak Hain Humare because of Zakir Khan and his comic timing. And the web series absolutely delivered on that. This is one of the first things I watched after I got a Prime subscription. Zakir Khan used to be my neighbour when I was a kid so I've always had a soft spot for him. But even though this show is enjoyable while it lasts, it neither leaves behind good memories nor it feels like a web series worth paying for. It looks decent to say the least.

I've had this habit that I always call shows with this quality as web series, since whenever I hear the word "web series", I always think about the TVF Originals. Since then the word has stuck with me. And this web series looks exactly like that. There is no concern given to the cinematography or the ADR. It feels like a low budget drama, so low that they didn't even bother adding Hindi subtitles. And in protest I will also not bother writing a long review like I do for other shows. While the first season was pretty solid, the second season started dwindling a lot. The whole idea of Ronnie trying to be a bigger politician by completely disregarding everyone around him was actually a pretty bad move.

Although I don't exactly hold this web series dearly, I will continue to watch it further just to see where the story goes further. After all the second season has ended with many sequel baits, so I won't be giving up on it any time soon. Although I do feel that a web series of this quality is better suited on a free OTT platform like MX Player or TVF Play.

Very impressive

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.

Review By Kamal K

Ronny's whole life is based on a lie. To the world he is the nephew of the local MLA and a youth leader who solves people's problems. But in reality, Ronny is a jobless 25 year old with no relation to the MLA who shares his surname. The show explores Ronny's adventures as he gets stuck in multiple situations because of this lie. He has two trusted friends, Anwar and Kranti who don't know the truth either and consider Ronny their leader. Ronny is in love with Avantika but she is too busy obsessing about her ex to notice his feelings. His family is concerned about his future and is dismayed at his lack of interest in studying or getting a job. His sister who suspects Ronny is lying about something is constantly trying to get him into trouble with their parents. Ronny's trusted mentor Santosh Bhaiya is the only one who knows the truth and tries to help Ronny.

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.

Amazing series - a must watch soft comedy will make you smile & emotional

My first IMDB review, only for Zakir Khan. He is an amazing storyteller! It is very well written, story is amazing & played perfectly by all the actors. Zakir Khan I never believed could act so well. Both his friends were also amazing. All characters are perfect. Really loved watching, paisa aur time dono vasool. After a long time I enjoyed something from heart.
