When I was growing up, Doordarshan's afternoon transmission, Disney Hour on Sunday morning and an occasional VCR rental of an animated classic was all I had in the name of entertainment exclusively meant for me and my age group. And so even Baingan Raja and NFDC's short films ( Ek Chidiya) remain cherished in my generation's collective memory.
With time and alternatives, the above views have changed considerably and I confess I hadn't the slightest inkling about Chhota Bheem or what makes the dhoti-clad hero such a big deal.
