Rainy day adventures with your favourite toons – Shin Chan, Oggy, and Honey Bunny
Mumbai: The rains have started, pitter-pattering on the rooftops and announcing the return of school, exams and homework. But don’t let the gloomy weather bring down your spirits. What if you could spend this monsoon with your favorite Sony YAY! toons by your side? From laughing in the classroom with Shin chan to dancing in the rain with Honey Bunny, turn monsoon season into an epic adventure:
Unwind like Oggy
Remember how Oggy chills out after a long day of being chased by those pesky cockroaches? Channel your inner Oggy after school. Grab some hot, steaming snacks – pakoras or samosas – cuddle up on the couch under your favourite blanket, and catch up on your favorite shows.
Shin chan
He’s got a pocket full of laughter and pranks, and he makes everyone laugh. School can get dull sometimes, but once you channel Shin chan, things can never be boring. You could ditch the usual games and play tic-tac-toe with your friends on your notebook or fold a tiny paper airplane and see who can make it land in the wastebasket at the corner of the classroom.
Dance in the rain with Honey Bunny
The monsoon rains are a perfect excuse to splash in puddles and have some fun. The OG Jholers would be the perfect partners-in-crime for a rainy-day adventure. Put on your raincoats and boots and jump in with Honey, Bunny, Popat, and Zordaar. And fold some paper boats and race them. Who would win – you or Honey Bunny?
Tune into Sony YAY! and beat the back-to-school blues with your favourite toons!

Mukta Arts and Green Gold ink MOU to animate iconic film IPs
Kalicharan, Karz, Hero, Karma, Ram Lakhan to spawn animated shows plus features.
MUMBAI: When classic hindi movie meets animation, the result is a fresh reel of nostalgia with a cartoon twist. Mukta Arts Ltd. and Green Gold Animation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on animated shows and feature films drawn from Mukta Arts’ four-decade treasure trove of iconic IPs. The partnership taps Mukta’s SGM Animation Studio launched in 2025 as its dedicated animation and games arm and Green Gold’s proven track record in building scalable, homegrown franchises. Creative teams from both sides have already kicked off discussions, with the first project currently in development.
The slate will draw inspiration from landmark Mukta films including Kalicharan, Karz, Hero, Karma, Ram Lakhan, Khalnayak, Saudagar and Iqbal, plus character-led spin-offs from those universes. The aim is to reimagine these stories for today’s young, global audiences while preserving their emotional core.
Green Gold Animation (home of Chhota Bheem) founder and CEO Rajiv Chilaka said, “This partnership with SGM Studios allows us to apply our experience in building long-lasting animation IPs to a truly iconic film catalogue. Together, we aim to create animated worlds that are rooted in these legendary stories, yet designed to connect with today’s young, global audiences.”
Mukta Arts Ltd. filmmaker and founder Subhash Ghai added, “Mukta Arts has always believed in creating stories with lasting emotional value. Through animation, we are extending our IP into a new medium for the next generation.”
In an industry where timeless tales never go out of fashion, this collaboration promises to bring beloved characters back to life with a modern, animated glow proving that some stories are too good to stay in live-action. Stay tuned for the first animated frame to drop.
