Plot
To celebrate a newly formed sister-city relationship between Kasukabe and the city of Musibai (a parody on the name Mumbai) in the fictional Indian state of Hagasimil, a Kids Entertainment Festival is held. Shinnosuke (Shin-chan) and his friends—Kazama, Masao, Nene, and Bo-chan—form a dance team, win the local competition, and are rewarded with a trip to India to perform on stage. Accompanied by the Nohara family, the enthusiastic group sets off to experience the vibrant, spicy culture and bustling streets of India.
While exploring the local sightseeing spots and a mysterious general store, Shinnosuke and the quiet, rock-collecting Bo-chan stumble upon an antique shop. Inside, they pick up a bizarre backpack shaped like a large human nose. Unbeknownst to them, the bag holds a dark, dormant, tyrannical power. When Bo-chan accidentally pokes his nose with strange paper pulled from the backpack, he becomes possessed by this evil force. He transforms into a rampaging alter ego, causing chaos that threatens the entire world.
With Bo-chan wreaking havoc, the Kasukabe Defense Force is forced to jump into action. They team up with three Indian locals—Ariana, Kabir, and Dill—to get to the bottom of the backpack's curse. The friends must balance their classic comedic antics and dance moves with genuine fantasy adventure to snap Bo-chan out of his possession and defeat the terrifying tyrant.
