This Republic Day discover the joy of togetherness with Honey Bunny
Mumbai: This Republic Day, celebrate with your favourite OG Jholers, Honey, Bunny and their gang. The gang always sticks together despite all the jholmal. Be it rescuing Popat the wise parrot from an evil circus ringmaster or fighting over who gets to play Ms Katkar’s new piano or convincing Zordaar, the pyaara dog to go on exciting adventures, they do it all unitedly. Here’s a look at how all the mazedaar toons work unitedly to create a masti-filled show where laughter and giggles never stop.
Honey, the silly friend
Honey is the bholu yellow cat who is up for masti any time of the day. Be it traveling on a time machine or facing scary daakus in a village, he knows how to stir mischief. But he never goes alone. He makes sure his whole gang never misses out on the fun.
Bunny, the clever partner
Bunny always has a lot of fun tricks up his sleeves. Be it organizing a party or a wrestling match while Ms Katkar is away, or some other shararat he’s usually up to, Bunny ensures everyone joins him. His mazaakia nature is like the glue that hold the entire gang together.
Popat, the talkative Parrot
Popat is the first to jump onto a new adventure. Be it visiting a circus or fun fair or simply stealing a guava from a tree, he never stops. However, on his adventures, he does need the help of his gang when he gets caught in some or the other jholmaal.
Zordaar, the brave and scary
Zordaar is a strict follower of Ms Katkar’s rules and he always tries to keep everyone safe inside the house. However, most of the time Honey and Bunny find a way to get him in trouble. From breaking Ms Katkar’s new piano to stealing food from the kitchen, he tries to stop the natkhat duo but Zordaar ka zor hamesha kam pad jata hai.
Ms Katkar, the loving mother
Ms Katkar is not unaware of all the mischief and adventures, but her love and adoration unite the whole gang as she teaches them important lessons like not lying and always doing what is right.
Honey Bunny and his friends may look different and do different things, but in the end, they all team up to go on adventures, just like in our country. Our country has many different cultures and languages, but we are all united and happy together in our diversity.
