Chhota Bheem has once again emerged as Kid’s Favourite TV Character (Ormax Media 2011). To add to these celebrations, POGO is also launching a new movie based on this larger-than-life series called Chhota Bheem: Dholakpur to Kathmandu. The movie will premiere on POGO, India’s No. 1 Kids’ and Family channel, on Sunday, March 25, 2012 at 12pm.

Full of  adventure and humour, this movie is about Chhota Bheem’s latest rescue mission in the snow-clad mountains of Nepal, battling vicious creatures to save the day yet again! Migo, a yeti cub is kidnapped by the evil Snow Leopard Clan to be sacrificed to their goddess. If Migo isn’t returned to his yeti father, the yeti will soon descend on Kathmandu and destroy all in its wrath. It is now upto our Dholakpur superhero – Chhota Bheem and friends to travel to Katmandu and battle treacherous terrains and the Snow Leopard Clan to save Migo and return him in time to the Yeti else all of Nepal is doomed.

Says Monica Tata, General Manager, Entertainment Networks, South Asia, Turner International India Pvt. Ltd. “We are delighted at the continued success of Chhota Bheem.
