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.

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

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.

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.

Firstly i thought as Zakir khan being comedian it would be just comedy web series.But i was wrong .webseries contains comedy emotion some very good lesson about life.very natural acting by actors.Strongly recommeded if want to learn life lesson in way of comedy
