==Plot==
==Plot==
The series is set in the fictional Kingdom of Dholakpur, somewhere in rural [[India]]. The series revolves around Bheem, sometimes referred to as Chhota Bheem (little Bheem) due to his young age, a boy who is strong and intelligent.<ref name="10 Life Lessons to Learn from Chota Bheem">{{cite web|url=http://www.successstories.co.in/10-life-lessons-to-learn-from-Chhota-bheem/ |title=10 Life Lessons to Learn from Chhota Bheem |publisher=Success Stories |date=30 November 2013}}</ref> Bheem's rival is Kalia, who is envious of Bheem's popularity. Kalia, along with his sidekicks, twin brothers Dholu and Bholu, always plot to embarrass and defeat Bheem but never succeed.
The series is set in a village in the kingdom of Dholakpur. The series revolves around Bheem, sometimes referred to as Chhota Bheem due to his young age, a boy who is strong and intelligent.

Bheem is a well-loved figure in the village, known for his good heart and helping nature. His closest friends are Chutki, a clever girl; Raju, a brave toddler wearing nothing but his underpants; and a talking monkey called Jaggu.


The show revolves around Bheem and his team using their skills to solve various problems affecting the village, unravel mysteries, fight evil villains that seek to harm Dholakpur and/or its inhabitants, or foil the plans of their rivals Kalia, Dholu, and Bholu, who aim to embarrass Bheem. Their antics also sometimes get them into trouble.
Most of the initial stories revolved around Bheem and his friends [[Chutki]], Raju and Jaggu's rivalry with Kalia and his friends Dholu and Bholu. However, as the series has progressed, this topic has been adopted as the subject less often, although Kalia is still just as eager to prove himself superior to Bheem. A large number of episodes along with all the films also focus on Bheem and his team solving various problems affecting the village, unravelling mysteries, fighting evils that seek to harm Dholakpur or its inhabitants, and on their antics which often get them into trouble.


During Bheem's early days, the broadcaster Pogo had stressed that the storyline is kept simple and mysteries and complex plot avoided at all cost, as the viewers were too young to understand, but nowadays there is no such restriction. The timeline and Dholakpur too have been allowed to become fluid and stretchable and this has caused the characters to become more person-like and less childish. Supernatural events have often been used in episodes, like Dholakpur being attacked by the demon Zimbra, the evil witch, or Botakhpur. Bheem and his team participating in various competitions in Dholakpur or in adjoining kingdoms are also a common theme, as is the celebration of Indian festivities.

[[Rajiv Chilaka]] wanted to create his own [[intellectual property]] instead of working for other companies. He established his animation studio Green Gold Animation in 2001. He had to struggle as no TV channel was ready to pick up the Indian animation content and most Indian contents aired were mythological in nature.

Chhota Bheem (transl. Little Bheem) is an Indian animated comedy adventure television series, created by Green Gold Animations based in Hyderabad. This show is available in English, Hindi, Telugu,Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Marathi. Bheem is a brave, strong and intelligent young boy. He often manages to solve everyone's problems which endears him to the townspeople of Dholakpur.[1]

Plot

The series is set in a village in the kingdom of Dholakpur. The series revolves around Bheem, sometimes referred to as Chhota Bheem due to his young age, a boy who is strong and intelligent.

Bheem is a well-loved figure in the village, known for his good heart and helping nature. His closest friends are Chutki, a clever girl; Raju, a brave toddler wearing nothing but his underpants; and a talking monkey called Jaggu.

The show revolves around Bheem and his team using their skills to solve various problems affecting the village, unravel mysteries, fight evil villains that seek to harm Dholakpur and/or its inhabitants, or foil the plans of their rivals Kalia, Dholu, and Bholu, who aim to embarrass Bheem. Their antics also sometimes get them into trouble.

Supernatural events have often been used in some episodes like Dholakpur being attacked by the demon Zimbara, the evil witch, or the rival kingdom of Botakpur. Bheem and his team participating in various competitions in Dholakpur or adjoining kingdoms are also a common theme, as is the celebration of Indian festivities and the protection of nature.

Characters

Main

Chhota Bheem: Chhota Bheem is the main protagonist of the show. He is a 9-year old young boy. Bheem is an adventurous, fun-loving but virtuous boy who is gifted with superhuman strength. This strength can be powered up by consuming ladoos, his favourite food. Bheem appears bare-chested, wearing an orange dhoti and a gold pendant. He has brown hair. (Voiced by Sonal Kaushal)

His power is a boon for his village, Dholakpur, which is constantly beset by all kinds of problems. Bheem is beloved and respected by the village for being kind and using his strength to help those who are poor, wronged, or needy, and may be considered a little guardian of the villagers and the animals in and around Dholakpur. Bheem is often seen defeating enemies who attack Dholakpur or harm the villagers, like the evil demon Kirmada, the robber Mangal Singh, and the evil witch. Having gained King Indraverma's trust, Bheem discusses the village issues with the ministers of the kingdom. Being intelligent and strong he represents Dholakpur in various matters and competitions.

Chutki: Chutki is a young 7-year old girl and the daughter of Tuntun Mausi, the sweet-maker. She often helps Bheem sneak ladoos from her mother's shop. Chutki is the brains of the team. She's depicted as fair-skinned having pink blush applied on her cheeks wearing a purple floral lehenga and has her brown hair in twin braids. Her name means young or little one. (Voiced by Rupa Bhimani)

Chutki is Bheem's closest friend and he often relies on her to solve any puzzles or difficult situations with her intelligence. On many occasions, she is shown to have a crush on Bheem. She first met Bheem, Raju and Jaggu when Bheem saved her from a raging bull. While she is responsible for her household chores and gentle towards all people and other creatures, she can be tough when the situation demands it.

In many episodes and the film Chhota Bheem: Master of Shaolin: The Movie, she is depicted as being good at martial arts. Chutki frequently supplies Bheem with ladoos on missions to boost his strength.

Raju: Raju is a daring, and mischievous 4-year old boy, he is a bald toddler with only two strands of hair on his head who wears nothing but his blue underpants. (Voiced by Julie Tejwani)

Raju's size belies his courage, which he gets from his father, commander of the King's army. Raju also wants to be the commander of the Army. He is a prodigy at archery and has won the "Arjuna Cup". Raju is also very articulate and intelligent for his age, being able to converse and follow along with his older friends on their adventures with no difficulty.

Jaggu: Jaggu is a blue, talking monkey. Jaggu has a special way of solving problems, using tricks accompanied by his sense of humour. Bheem learns useful techniques like swinging from trees from him. He can also communicate with other animals. Whenever they are really hungry, Jaggu assists them in stealing ladoos. He also loves playing tricks on Kalia, Dholu and Bholu. (Voiced by Rajesh Kava)

Kalia: Kalia is an envious bully. He is 10-years old and depicted as an ambitious boy who is always outshone by Bheem. He has two fearful lackeys, Dholu and Bholu, twin brothers who sometimes help him with his plans and, at other times, quickly abandon him. He often blows his own trumpet by claiming he is the strongest and most courageous person. Whenever any problem arises, he runs away. Despite his competitive personality, he also helps the gang out for important matters (such as an attack on Dholakpur) and will put aside his own rivalries and pride for the greater good. And whenever he witnesses Bheem's other rivalry with Kichak, he'll often show support towards Bheem. He is depicted as a tall and overweight boy wearing only a short tied-up grey dhoti and lots of gold jewellery. (Voiced by Shaily Dubey)

Kalia is a nickname that means “dark one” or “tan-skinned”.

Dholu and Bholu: Dholu and Bholu are identical twins and followers of Kalia. Though they are not strong themselves, they bask in Kalia's strength. Despite their support for a bully, they have kind hearts and have also won a trophy for their close brotherhood. But sometimes, they argue among themselves and get scolded by Kalia. They are differentiated by their clothing, each twin wears a similar set of olive green and brown turban, t-shirt and pants with opposite colouring. (Voiced by Jigna Bhardwaj)

Dholu means “drummer” and Bholu means “innocent”.

Recurring

Rajkumari Indumati: Indumati is the princess of Dholakpur, the daughter of Indraverma, and the elder sister of Ravi Varma. She is a kindhearted 7-year old girl. She is also a friend of Bheem, Chutki, Raju, Jaggu, Kalia, Dholu and Bholu. She has blue eyes, and reddish-brown hair, and wears a blue and gold lehenga with an orange flower adorning her hair in a low ponytail. While she seldom joins the gang on missions, she is a trusted friend and supports them. (Voiced by Samridhii Shukla)

Raja Indraverma: The king of Dholakpur and the father of both Indumati and Ravi Varma. He lives in a palace on top of a hill overlooking Dholakpur. He mostly relies on Bheem for any crisis in the kingdom and trusts the boy greatly. (Voiced by Rajesh Shukla)

Kichak: Kichak is a 16-year old wrestler from Pehelwanpur. Like Kalia, Kichak is also jealous of Bheem, since Bheem is more popular than him. He often challenges Bheem in various games to prove himself stronger than him, but is always defeated. Taking his adolescent age into consideration, Kichak's rivalry with Bheem can be a bit more severe than Kalia's. He has many friends like Chhota Manu, Birju, Manna and Popatya who are his loyal followers. (Voiced by Rajesh Kava)

Chhota Manu: He is also a character from Pehelwanpur. Chhota Manu is physically strong and clever. He is a rival of Raju, whom he never managed to defeat. He is a sidekick as well as a friend of Kichak, making various plans to defeat Bheem.

Daku Mangal Singh: Mangal Singh is a bandit who used to terrorize Dholakpur when he was free. But he was arrested by Bheem. He often comes to rob Dholakpur.

Dhooni Baba: Dhooni Baba is a sage who lives in a cave. In the former episodes, he was called "Baba Bol Bachchan" had a body smeared with ash and was seen meditating on some needles. Indeed, Dhooni means “incense”. Later, his body has no ash smeared and he walks with a walking stick. He is described as a sage who knows almost everything and has divine powers. He gives advice and also a solution to Bheem and his friends.

Tuntun Mausi: Tuntun, or Tuntun aunt, she is Chutki's mother. She owns a sweet shop where she sells her famous homemade ladoos. Bheem often aggravates her by stealing ladoos, but she is also kind-hearted like Chutki. Sometimes she gives Bheem ladoos to make him stronger and help him defeat his enemies.

Professor Shastri Dhoomketu: He is an inventor who lives in Gyanpur (“village of knowledge”). He often ends up getting problems with his inventions, like getting his inventions stolen, or malfunctioning. His inventions include a time machine, a hot air balloon, a super-fast bicycle, etc.

Bheem comes to her rescue and even frees her father from jail. Their close relationship is demonstrated in an episode where she sent Bheem a letter on Raksha Bandhan, not writing much, leading Bheem to think something was suspicious and going to see her. After he solved her problems she tied a rakhi on his wrist.

Buri Jadugarni (transl. The Evil Sorceress): Buri Jadugarni is an evil sorceress who is an enemy of Bheem. She tried to become the queen of Dholakpur but never succeeded because of Bheem and his team. She is also called Buri Pari (transl. Evil Fairy) or Buri Chudail (transl. Evil Witch).

Production

Development

Rajiv Chilaka wanted to create his own intellectual property instead of working for other companies. He established his animation studio Green Gold Animation in 2001. He had to struggle as no TV channel was ready to pick up the Indian animation content and most Indian contents aired were mythological. His company produced Vikram Betal and Krishna animation shows which convinced Pogo TV to give it a chance. After five years of conception, Chhota Bheem made its first appearance in 2008 on Pogo TV.[2] It succeeded and continued to run.[3] He is financed by Samir Jain, who belongs to the famous Jain-cum-Agarwal business family from Meerut. Raj Viswanadha, who did the writing for the first four years of Bheem before leaving the series, Arun Shendurnikar, Nidhi Anand are prominent among those who have written the stories for the show.[citation needed]

Influences

Rajiv Chilaka had conceived an adventurous young boy with the strength and attributes of Bhima from Mahabharata, living in an unspecified period in medieval India. He was also influenced by his childhood spent with Disney's animated shows, Tintin, Amar Chitra Katha and other superhero comics.

Broadcast

It is aired on Pogo TV in India. As of August 2011, more than 200 episodes, 5 movies have been released and aired.[4]

In April 2020 DD National acquired the syndication rights of the series from 17 April 2020 to 3 May 2020 when the production of the ongoing series had to be stopped by the channel due to COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
