Pakdam Pakdai (transl. Chasing), also known as Rat-A-Tat is an Indian Flash-animated comedy television series, formerly on Nickelodeon India and later on Sonic Nickelodeon.
The show began airing on 27 May 2013. Pakdam Pakdai is narrated by Nana, the eponymous narrator. Worldwide releases of the show, however, omit these in favor of silent comedy.

Doggy Don is an anthropomorphic little pink dog, who resides in the modern suburbs of an unspecified location somewhere in South India. Unfortunately, he shares his house with three troublemaking mice: Chhotu, Lambu and Motu, dubbed the "Chuha Party" ("transl. Rat Party"). Don is usually accompanied by his older brother, Colonel, who has a stronger grudge against the mice with his shorter temper, and Ballu, a cranky and aggressive Great Dane, who is Don's neighbor.
Every episode in the series circulates around some type of chaos that the mice produce and the havoc that ensues as the dogs attempt to stop the situation from escalating further, only to either make things worse or take the blame for the mice's shenanigans. Ranging from stealing food to framing others for their own misdeeds and even hijacking vehicles to go on joyrides, the mice will go to any length possible to wreak havoc and irritate the people around them and escalate their situations to extremely outrageous heights, usually, but not exclusively the dogs.
Their names were localized in English-language releases, with the exception of Don, whose name was simply shortened.
