As an Indian, I'm proud to see such an amazing animation from India!! It's a shame that these kind of animations aren't given the limelight and reputation they deserve. Instead the animations aired on the TV are so cheap and repetitive!

[@thedutchgamelife6264]

animations on tv feel so pointless and just for braindead amusement, while these type of animations actually tell us something about different things in life. like this one telling us about the value of a single rupee, it really shows that discriminating someone because of their value isnt right, as everyone has their own value in a different way

[@UshaRani-bb7fy]

Absolutely right

[@Deep_Mondal]

Yeah subscribe to him

[@priyankasushantkesarwani2558]

True

[@lone_berserker]

Yeah if you guys are talking about Motu patlu and other craps, yes of course it is cheap and pathetic. But even for this animation it doesn't really touch hearts, do they(but it has some moral and it is kinda good) . And that is one of the reason I migrated to anime and American animated series.

[@orangerollerskater7787]

Whenever a movie or show has a object like character or same object show name, people go crazy over it and I'm pretty sure the creator's most likely don't know what object shows are.
