I watched several episodes of this that were uploaded to YouTube and must say, it's, uh, something.
For starters, the animation leaves something to be desired. I understand that Indian animation in general usually isn't of the same quality as here in America and elsewhere (the only exception I've seen so far is Cartoon Network India's Lamput), but it's still kinda awkward and low-budget.
The show proper is about the many adventures of a samosa boy and his friends, a dhokla, a jalebi, and a vada... who are named Samosa, Dhokla, Jalebi, and Vada respectively. In fact, most of the characters are just named after what food they are. That naming convention is too simple (no pun intended!), but at least it's educational to an extent about Indian cuisine over here in America where samosas and such foods aren't that common, I guess.
The episode plots seem decent enough that with a little work, they could be something cool. A few I noticed, however, are stock plots that have been done literally to oblivion and back (for example, in one episode, it's Jalebi's birthday, but she thinks her friends may have forgotten... but in reality they had a surprise party planned for her the whole time! That TOTALLY doesn't sound cliched, right?).
The voice work is so-so; the English dub has the characters speak in such a thick accent that I can't understand them sometimes, but other than that it seems fine. Could be better, though.
The pace of the show seems kinda slow for a cartoon I assume was made for children around 6-8 years old and over. I guess the scenes just feel like they're longer than they probably should be.
In general, the show is mediocre but not without any potential or merit. There IS one thing I will say about this show, though: It's a shame we're not able to find a full episode list at the moment, let alone all the episodes themselves; in fact, the show premiered in 2018, and the show being that recent and yet having no full episode lists anywhere caught me off guard!
