Doraemon the Movie: New Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil will open across India on Oct. 2 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, TV Asahi and PVR Inox Pictures announced. The two companies are leading the theatrical release.
Black White Orange is handling fan engagement, consumer experiences and promotional activations around the film, while Happening 365 Synergies is advising on strategy and the market.
The release leans on a long history: Doraemon has been on Indian television for 21 years, according to TV Asahi. That run has built a familiar audience for the character ahead of the new film's theatrical push.
The movie reworks a story that first reached Japanese cinemas in 1983. The original story was serialized as a manga and produced over 40 years ago, and the new version returns to that material for Indian audiences.
Shin-Ei Animation, Fujiko Pro and TV Asahi are among the entities behind the film, with the India rollout split across three language versions.
