Vitthal Teedi

The series opens with Vitthal and his elder sister learning about their mother’s death. Vitthal has no interest in studies and is attracted to cards and Lord Shiva, as his father is a local temple priest. When a teacher asks Vitthal to say the number ‘three’ in Gujarati, he pronounces it as “Teddi” (the notation of three being famous among local card players). This joke spreads quickly through the small village, and everyone starts addressing him as Vitthal Teedi. One morning Vitthal wakes up late for school with his elder sister and gets beaten and scolded by the new Gymnastics teacher. His sister tells the teacher that she had to complete all household work before school due to their mother’s recent death. When the teacher makes fun of Vitthal’s father, Vitthal takes a stone in his hand and hits the teacher, then runs from the school.Vitthal Teedi Season 1 Download
