Kid’s favorite super star Shinchan will make his movie debut on Hungama TV this Diwali with the premier of his film - Shinchan and the Treasures of Buriburi Kingdom at 2 PM, October 17th 2009 on Hungama TV.

In his movie debut, Shinchan is in for an exciting adventure in Buriburi, when his family wins a prize holiday to the southern island. However, there is a little twist in the story as this entire affair is masterminded by the evil White Snake Gang who have evil designs on Shinchan. From then begin Shinchan’s adventures including his kidnapping, his meeting with his look-alike Prince Sunnokeshi, and finally facing the Buriburi Monster!

Commenting on this festive treat for viewers of Hungama TV, Devika Prabhu, Associate Director, Programming, Walt Disney Television International India said, "Viewers of Hungama TV love the mad fun spirit that the channel and protagonists such as Shinchan showcase. Shinchan with his naughtiness and a life lesson at the end of each story, appeals to kids and adults alike. In line with the festive spirit of Diwali, we are excited to provide an enjoyable time for the entire family with Shinchan’s first ever movie telecast on Hungama TV."

Hungama TV has consistently been a leading programming destination in the Hindi Speaking Markets (HSM) for kids in the age group, 4-14, SEC ABC. Hunagma also has the distinction for the channel where viewers are spending maximum time.

The Shinchan Movie will anchor a month long promotion on the Hungama TV called ‘Pareshaan Diwali’ around mad fun spirit. The promotion uses adult stereotypes in kid’s lives in a humorous way to help both kids and adults see the fun side of Hungama TV’s shows and characters.
