Aparna Bhosle, Director - Programming and Production, Walt Disney Television International (India) said, “Tensai Bakabon has captured the imagination of audiences worldwide. We are thrilled to add this to our comedy offerings and further strengthen Hungama TV’s ‘mad fun’ positioning.”

Drawn by Fujio Akatsuka, the most popular comedy cartoonist in Japan, Tensai Bakabon is a masterpiece in Japanese animation history. Bakabon Papa, the main character of the story, has a unique personality and his gifted child, is a whiz kid. In fact, his nickname “Tensai" literally means genius. Wherever father and son go, they blow up a storm with their bizarre intellect and ideas! No one knows for sure if they are being foolish or smart. The series is full of extraordinary characters that take entertainment to new heights.

Bakabon's father has his own philosophy and he leaves no stone unturned in his quest for answers. Despite his ability to trouble Trouble, for some reason, Papa Bakabon is regarded as "The Great Philosopher," and is sought after for advice, which of course ends up in disastrous results. Tensai Bakabon joins his father in his philosophical quests which drives the people in their town crazy.
