‘Shin Chan’ Movies Set For India
A pair of films from TV Asahi’s Shin Chan franchise will be released in India. Shin Chan Our Dinosaur Diary and Shin Chan The Spicy Kasukabe Dancers In India will released locally through multiplex operator PVR INOX Pictures. Dinosaur Diary will land on May 5, with Kasukabe Dancers in India debuting during Diwali season in October. Both will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Japanese with English subtitles. The Shin Chan TV series originally launched in India in 2006, airing daily on Hungama TV before switching to Sony Pictures Networks India-owned Sony Yay! in May 2024. The brand follows a five-year-old who constantly gets into trouble and, together with his baby sister, never fails to keep things interesting. Maiko Sumida, Head of Animation Sales & Development at TV Asahi, said: “2025 is likely to become a major milestone for our Shin Chan team. It has been our long-standing dream to release Shin Chan the movie in theatres in India, the movie superpower.”
