Mad Over Donuts and Nickelodeon India Collaborate to Make Summer Brighter for Kids

This summer is all about staying indoors and being safe at home, and that means children are confined to their homes their entire vacation, away from friends and fun. To make these gloomy, tougher times lighter, gourmet doughnut brand Mad Over Donuts (MOD) and Nickelodeon - two of India’s most loved brands - have collaborated with one another to spread cheer amongst children and gift them several unforgettable experiences with #NickKaMangoficentSummer!


Mad Over Donuts and Nickelodeon India are all set to introduce a limited edition of mango flavoured donuts called ‘Golmaal Jr. Treat Box’ inspired by none other than Nick’s Golmaal Jr., an animated show by director Rohit Shetty based on the comedy movie series Golmaal.

Known as the pranksters, Gopal, Madhav and the rest of the Golmaal Jr gang have always been the favourites of kids. This summer, through this one-of-its-kind partnership, the best thing for Nickelodeon's young viewers in the afternoons is to indulge in the seasonal mango treats as they watch the all-new episodes of the mischievous escapades of Golmaal Jr every Monday to Friday at 12.30 PM on Nick channel.

Bite into Happiness with the exclusively curated ‘Golmaal Jr. Treat Box’ that consists of soft, fluffy donuts which are available in season special mango flavours: Mango Cheesecake, filled with mango-infused cream cheese, topped with mango chocolate curls and mango jam; Mango Tango, stuffed with mango jam and topped with mango chocolate shavings; and Mango Berry, oozing with white chocolate, mango chocolate and dark chocolate ganache. These extremely delicious donut flavours are available across the cities of Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai.

The limited edition of the Prank Gang donuts will have the characters come to life with creative toon designs on the package and box toppers of the toon characters greeting the little customers who have ordered them online. For Nick's little fans, these treats call for loud hurrahs and mid-week high fives in the comfort of one’s home. Fun designs on the outside and delicious mango donuts inside -- have you seen a better combination that could make a child smile?

"The formula of good food plus favourite toons has worked with kids ever since the lockdown happened", says Mr. Tarak Bhattacharya, Executive Director, Mad over Donuts. “We have partnered with Nickelodeon to provide comic relief to our tiny little customers. In fact, one of the most popular food items that has helped kids perk a bit is donut. As we have entered May, a month that kick starts with season of mangoes, who better than our prank gang to take the onus of spreading happiness and cheer and make the month more humorous for our little audiences!”

This collaboration will be promoted by a 360-degree marketing and communications plan which will include digital promotions. Year after year, brands like Mad Over Donuts and Nickelodeon work towards innovative and fun ideas for customer engagement across all age groups.

Speaking about keeping kids engaged through the summer, Sonali Bhattacharya - Head – Marketing, Kids Entertainment Cluster at Viacom18 said, “We believe that as the category leader we have a very important role to play in keeping kids in a positive frame of mind in these difficult times. Nothing can lift the spirit as well as a pack of donuts curated specifically keeping the kids’ favourite Nicktoons in mind! The bond that kids have with the Golmaal Jr. gang is very strong and this innovative collaboration with Mad Over Doughnuts is our attempt in bringing cheer to kids while they remain indoors during the summertime. We are certain that the Golmaal Jr. Prank Gang donuts will infuse happy moments in the days of kids and their families.”

Keeping in mind the current scenario, all Mad over Donuts stores are maintaining the highest hygiene and safety standards in their workstations and are offering contactless home delivery options. The company encourages their customers to stay at home and get happiness delivered. The brand offers 100% eggless and freshly made products.

Nickelodeon India's Sonic Premieres 'Golmaal Jr.'

Nickelodeon Sonic, India's first channel for the action-loving generation, will premiere Golmaal Jr., a brand-new animated series based on the Golmaal movie franchise, in Monday 13th May 2019 at 1:30pm! Following launch, new episodes will air daily at 1:30pm on Sonic Gang. Check out the trailer below!:




Golmaal is a series of Indian action comedy films starring Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, and Tusshar Kapoor, directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Dhillin Mehta. The franchise launched in 2006 with the movie Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, with Ajay, Tusshar, Arshad, Sharman Joshi and Rimi Sen as the central cast. It was followed by a sequel in 2008, Golmaal Returns, with Kareena Kapoor as the new leading lady and Shreyas Talpade replacing Sharman as Laxman. The third installment, Golmaal 3 was released in 2010 and became the second-highest-grossing Bollywood film of that year. The fourth instalment of this series, Golmaal Again, was released on the occasion of Diwali on 20 October 2017, this one going into the supernatural realm with Parineeti Chopra and Tabu on board. A fifth movie, Golmaal 5, is in the pipeline.


The films revolve around the lives of four (five in the third and fourth films) friends Gopal, Lucky, Madhav and Laxman (hence the title of the series is Golmaal or GoLMaL). It involves comical incidents taking place with them... usually leading to a dramatic end. The movies featured the characters:

Go (Gopal) - Played by Ajay Devgan
L (Lucky) - Played by Tusshar Kapoor
Ma (Madhav) - Played by Arshad Warsi
L (Laxman) - Played by Sharman Joshi in the first film. In second film, a new character of the same name (but different from the original Laxman) was played by Shreyas Talpade. In the third and forth film, Talpade and Kunal Khemu play two different characters, both named Laxman.

Golmaal Junior will have the same format as the movies and will have three central characters: Madhav, Gopal and Lucky. The show will release in May on Sonic channel and will have the plot of two mischievous but poles apart rival prank gangs fighting against each other in a comic way.

Golmaal Jr. won't be Rohit Shetty's first forray into television, with the film director and producers' Singham film series also being adapted into a animated series for kids, titled Little Singham. A source had told the Mumbai Mirror that Rohit has been actively involved with the planning of Golmaal Junior.

Update (14/4): Meet the new Gopal, Lucky, Laxman, Laxman 2 and Madhav from Nickelodeon’s upcoming show!


Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal franchise now has an animated version. Nickelodeon on Monday released the first look of the characters from its upcoming children’s show Golmaal Junior, based on Shetty’s Hindi comedy film series of the same name. The show features younger, animated versions of the lead characters from the Golmaal universe: Gopal, Lucky, Laxman, Laxman 2 and Madhav.

The series has been produced by Rohit Shetty Picturez in association with Reliance Animation. A release date is yet to be announced.

Nickelodeon said in a press note that the show will “revolve around the two prank gangs of Gopal and Madhav indulging into fun, chaos and drama”.

Four films in Shetty’s franchise have been released so far – Golmaal: Fun Unlimited (2006), Golmaal Returns (2008), Golmaal 3 (2010) and Golmaal Again (2017) – and a fifth is reportedly in the works.

The series follows the adventures of five eccentric friends, Gopal (Ajay Devgn), Lucky (Tusshar Kapoor), Madhav (Arshad Warsi) and two Laxmans (Shreyas Talpade and Kunal Kemmu). Golmaal Again (2017), which also starred Tabu, Prakash Raj, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Parineeti Chopra, was a massive hit.
