A strategic acquisition between POGO and Hyderabad based Green Gold studios - 'Chhota Bheem' captured the hearts and minds of kids in the first year of its launch in April 2008. It is one of the top rated shows on POGO. Inspired by the legendary Bheem from the Mahabharata, Bheem stands for his strength and integrity. This fictional take revolves around iconic Bheem, as a nine year old brave and intelligent boy from an imaginary village Dholakpur, who loves to eat and always offers a helping hand to his friends and other villagers.
