Doraemon: Nobita's Picture World Story is set to premiere on March 7, 2025, in Japan, marking a major milestone for the franchise as it celebrates its 45th anniversary of Doraemon films. 

We, the passionate fans of Doraemon in India 🇮🇳, call upon cinema owners, distributors, and authorities to ensure that the highly anticipated 45th Anniversary Doraemon movie—Doraemon: Nobita's Picture World Story—gets a proper theatrical release across our country. For decades, Doraemon has been a beloved part of our childhoods and continues to inspire creativity and wonder among new generations. Now, as the film celebrates 45 years of Doraemon adventures, it is high time that Indian audiences experience this cinematic masterpiece on the big screen.

Why This Matters:

• Demand: Everyone knows and loves Doraemon in India. Despite a massive fanbase in India, Doraemon films have historically struggled to reach Indian theaters, depriving audiences of the chance to experience them on the big screen.

• Impact: Doraemon is more than just an anime—it is an emotion and a cultural icon whose stories teach values of friendship, courage, and imagination and resonates with both young and old.

• Future Opportunities: A successful release would pave the way for more anime films to be brought to Indian audiences and more Doraemon films will be delivered to us.

Our Request:

We respectfully urge:

Indian cinema owners and distributors to consider a nationwide theatrical release for Doraemon: Nobita's Picture World Story.

Cultural policymakers and industry stakeholders to recognize the vast market and passionate fanbase in India, ensuring that we have access to one of Japan’s most iconic film franchises.

Finally please feature the renowned Hindi voice artists—Sonal Kaushal for Doraemon and Simaran Kaur for Nobita—whose decade-long contributions have made these characters even more endearing to Indian audiences.
