Local English dubs were also available for newer episodes. The songs that Shin-chan sings were changed into parodies of popular Bollywood hits.
Due to controversy over the behavior, style and attitude towards elders exhibited in the show, the Parents and Teachers Association complained about it, claiming that the series was a bad role model for kids.The series was banned in October 2008 by Ministry of Information and Broadcasting(India) on account of heavy nudity & profanity.Before the ban, the Hindi version of Crayon Shin-chan gained up to 50-60% market share.After many requests from the fans, the Censor boards re-examined and heavily edited the nude scenes and profanity and restarted broadcasting on March 27, 2009.[citation needed] All the mature theme jokes were translated into childish ones and the alcohol Hiroshi consumes has been changed to juice. Scenes that have been cut include instances when Nene’s mother punches and kicks a stuffed rabbit, Shin-chan imitating what Action Kamen does from the program he watches on TV, as well as instances when he does the Zou-san(Mr. Elephant) dance or Ketsudake(butt-only) alien dance.
Many of the series’ films have been dubbed in Hindi and aired on Hungama TV.
