Social media trends emerge when a particular topic, style, or practice gains significant attention and gains traction across platforms. A social media trend usually starts with capturing the audience’s interest and then strikes an emotional chord. As more people connect with the trend, it begins to spread rapidly on social media, with an increasing number of users contributing to its momentum. Currently, the line “Chin Tapak Dim Dim” from popular children’s animation Chhota Bheem is trending on social media.

What is “Chin Tapak Dim Dim”?

Chin Tapak Dam Dam is a dialogue from Chhota Bheem, a popular cartoon program among Indian children. In particular, Takeya, the evil character, uses this statement whenever he tries to use his magical abilities. The resurrection of the topic started when a fan watched an episode called Chhota Bheem – Old Enemies, Season 4, Episode 47.

In the episode, the scene is set in Dholakpur Jail, where the inmates tell their stories of how they ended up behind bars, all because of Bheem’s intervention. One of the prisoners, Takia, reminiscing about his life before imprisonment, describes how he used to terrorize the city with his army of sand warriors through his magic. However, Bhima once visited Takiya’s secret cave and destroyed his entire army. The evil mage seems to have used his signature catchphrase before performing his magic tricks, but his powers have been inactive since his imprisonment.

As videos of the incident gained popularity, social media users embraced the trend and turned it into a meme template. “Chin Tapik Dim Dim” memes are now flooding YouTube videos, X-posts, Instagram reels and creative adaptations of the popular clip.

Some people have gone to the extent of setting “Chin Tapak Dim Dim” as their notification or ringtone.

Here are some clips of the dialogue:
