Paap-O-Meter (English: Meter-of-Sins) is a Canadian-Indian horror comedy cartoon show that airs on Indian television channel Sony YAY! and Canadian television channel YTV The show is available in Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi and Malayalam across major DTH and Digital Cable Platforms.
Plot The story revolves around the adventures of Bhoot Boss and his assistants, Pakela and Thakela, who seek out sinners and teach them a lesson. Together, they live high in the sky, in the ghost world, and keep an eye on Earth to ensure that sinners are always under control. The Meter Of Sins (Paap-O-Meter) tells them if any human has committed a sin, and by pressing its button, they can see what the person has done. Along with the main assistants, Bhoot Boss has many more assistants who feature occasionally in the show like Hatela. According to 'Chidhaana Paap Hai' and 'Genie VS Bhoot', when Pakela and Thakela are sent to make things right without Bhoot Boss, they only make every situation worse; that's when Bhoot Boss intervenes and corrects the situation.
In the newer seasons (from Season 5), the ghosts live on Earth, which means that instead of knowing the sinner when the Paap-O-Meter rings, they will find the sinner after a person undergoes a plight tell them what their plight is, in addition to their visibility to that person. Other than correcting sinners, they solve many other people's plights which does not have a sinner involved.
Characters Main Bhoot Boss: Bhoot Boss is the noble, disciplined leader of the trio, who is in charge of the Paap-O-Meter, and is mainly responsible for keeping the level of sin on Earth in check. He is a mentor to Thakela and Pakela and always comes to their rescue, whenever they goof up their mission to reduce the amount of sins on the planet. (Voiced by Mahendra Bhatnagar) Thakela: Thakela is a lazy, junior ghost who works for Bhoot Boss and is a companion of Pakela. He is an adorable ghost boy who loves to sleep and eat. If given a chance, he will sleep for days. His sleeping routines have made him so lazy that he throws temper tantrums every time he is called for duty. His love for eating is shown in various episodes. (Voiced by Viral Shah) Pakela: Pakela is an equally lazy yet witty junior ghost, who also works for Bhoot Boss and is Thakela's partner. Like his associate, Pakela gets irritated when he has to work but does not throw temper tantrums like Thakela. He always tries to beat Thakela but fails miserably most of the time. He plays more pranks than Thakela does. (Voiced by Vaibhav Thakkar) The Sinners: The sinners are the people who sinned. They later become good people when Bhoot Boss teaches them about what they did wrong and how to prevent that in the future. Some sinners were spared by the ghosts, while others were sent to jail by the ghosts or themselves. They even were punished by getting their form changed, which was common in the show's fourth season (some were changed back to normal while one of them was not).
Recurring Hatela: He is a 13-year-old, more energetic ghost and always tricks Thakela and Pakela in whichever episode he appears in. He has a nice sense of humor, which causes Bhoot Boss to appreciate him, despite working with him less. Inspector Lobo: He is a 33-year-old police officer who, whilst claiming to be extremely brave and strong, proves to be quite cowardly and weak. Bhoot Boss sends a lot of criminals to his police station since he often does not catch a lot of them. (Voiced by Trilok Patel in earlier seasons) Changu and Mangu: Former sinners who did not allow kids to pass the exams, who are now police officers. They work with Inspector Lobo and prove to be smarter than him. The Paap-O-Meter: A machine with 4 heads that tells Bhoot Boss and his assistants when someone is committing a major sin. It can also serve as a residence, as shown in the first few episodes of the show. When a button is pressed, you can see what the sinner in question has done.
