STORY: The series is set in an idyllic town in South India and follows the adventures of 7-year-old Anand aka Dabba (Ashwanth Ashokkumar), who goes on endless adventures to pursue his dreams.
REVIEW: 'Half Pants Full Pants,' adapted from Anand Suspi's autobiographical novel of the same name, transports us back to the good old days when life was much simpler without the internet and phones. The series has been adapted by Mani Prasad, written by Suspi, Prasad and Gaurav Mishra and directed by VK Prakash. The plot revolves around Anand aka Dabba, a young boy with big dreams, and his life adventures, which are depicted in eight interconnected episodes. The makers have successfully created a period in which 50 paisa coins were more valuable. The show moves at a leisurely pace, which is not a flaw because it is set in a time when things were slower. Despite this, the show has a lot of heartwarming moments.
Anand's family of four is simple and close-knit, consisting of his father Subbarao (Ashish Vidyarthi), an Indian Railways guard, his mother Padma (Sonali Kulkarni), a housewife, and his obnoxious older brother Sriram (Kartik Vijan). Anand's life, on the other hand, is not so easy because he is an expert at self-creating obstacles and overcoming them. His obsession with Bruce Lee is the most amusing of all. But, unfortunately, this is very short-lived and he finds something in each episode to keep his life going while also keeping the viewers interested in his fascinatio.
