Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Nasheeli (Gamraj) Short Review

 

Sanjay Singh - "कल गमराज की ये 2 कॉमिक्सों की सीरिज पढी। इनमे से नशीली तो मैंने 1997 मे ही पढ ली थी। दोनो कॉमिक्से लिखी है तरूण कुमार वाही जी ने और चित्रांकन है प्रदीप साठे जी का। झूम बराबर झूम कॉमिक मे बेगपाई-पाई नाम की शराब की कपंनी के खिलाफ गमराज और शंकालू अभियान चलाते है। बाद मे उन्हें पता चलता है कि कपंनी के मालिक का लडका खुद शराब का आदि है। वो उसकी शराब 1 सप्ताह मे छुडाने का संकल्प लेते है, इस वादे के साथ की बदले मे बेगपाई-पाई कपंनी बंद करनी पडेगी।

नशीली मे इस राज का पर्दा फाश होता है कि कैसे बिना किसी मशीन के बेगपाई-पाई शराब का कारोबार करता है। अंत मे यमराज की मदद से सारी मुश्किलें खत्म हो जाती है। दोनो कॉमिक्सों मे अच्छी कॉमेडी है।"

CCL 2 Winner - Mohit Trendster

The Comics Character League (CCL) Season 2 has been a season filled with intense battles, strategic plays, and unforgettable moments. The finals, held between July 31 and August 2, 2024, brought the season to a thrilling conclusion as Team 3, led by Mohit Sharma Trendster, emerged victorious, securing the championship title by winning the first two matches of the best-of-three series against Team 7, owned by Mohan Mourya.

Finals Recap: Team 3’s Unstoppable Momentum

Team 3, which had already established itself as a formidable force throughout the season, carried its momentum into the finals. The first match, held on July 31, saw Team 3’s Anthony face off against Team 7’s Maharavan. Anthony, known for his clever tactics and resilience, dominated the battle, winning with a commanding 64% of the votes. This decisive victory set the tone for the finals, putting Team 7 under immense pressure.

In the second match, held on August 2, Team 3’s The Common Man went head-to-head with Team 7’s Supandi. This match was a closer contest, reflecting the contrasting styles of the two characters: The Common Man’s everyman appeal versus Supandi’s comedic unpredictability. In the end, The Common Man edged out Supandi, winning by a slim margin with 50% of the votes. This victory clinched the championship for Team 3, rendering the third match unnecessary and solidifying their dominance in CCL Season 2.

A Season of Strategy and Surprises

Team 3 (Mohit)'s journey to the championship was marked by strategic brilliance and consistent performances. They topped Round 2 with a perfect record, winning all three of their matches and securing a spot in the finals with an impressive 63.7% vote share. Their path to victory was not without challenges, but their ability to adapt and strategize proved to be their greatest strength.

CCL 2 Runnep-up: Mohan Mourya

Team 7 (Mohan), despite their valiant efforts, was unable to overcome Team 3’s momentum. After securing their spot in the finals through a hard-fought tie-breaker battle, Team 7 faced an uphill battle against the in-form Team 3. While their characters Maharavan and Supandi put up a strong fight, they ultimately fell short in the face of Team 3’s superior strategy and execution.

Tie-Breaker after Round 2 - Comics Character League S2

The second round of Comics Character League Season 2 is nearing its conclusion, with the final battle of this round still ongoing. One team, Team 3 (Mohit Trendster), has already secured its place in the finals. The second finalist will be determined based on the outcome of the last battle (Chacha Chaudhary vs. Lomdi). If Team 7 wins this battle (which seems unlikely), they will qualify for the finals. However, if Team 7 does not win, the remaining three teams from Round 2 will have equal points, and there isn't a significant difference in their vote shares.

Team 6 (Manoj Kumar Garg)

Team 7 (Mohan Lal Mourya)

Team 8 (Ravi Yadav)

Therefore, the CCL organizers have decided to give these three teams one more opportunity to secure a place in the finals. To determine which team among them will advance, a Tie-Breaker Battle will be held among the three teams. In this Tie-Breaker, one character from each of the three teams will be put into the battle. The team whose character receives the most votes will earn a spot in the finals.

The Tie-Breaker Battle will take place after the results of the final battle of Round 2 are announced, which means it will occur tomorrow, and the schedule for the finals will be adjusted accordingly.

To ensure fairness in the Tie-Breaker, the decision has been made that only villain characters will be used. Each team has two villain characters, and they can choose one of these for the battle. If a team feels that their current villain character isn't strong enough, they can swap it for another villain character, even from a different publication, for this round. There will be no toss for this Tie-Breaker; each team should decide on their villain character based on their own and their opponents' characters.
