IPL – Kab Aayega Baap !!!

April 7th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Advertisement, Cricket, Marketing & advertising

 Kab aayega ranjan aur mano ka baap! There is an extensive and long search for ranjan and mano for their baap. After a long wait of 8 years and endless taunting of people their mother attempts suicide. Suddenly we discovered who is “mano-ranjan ka baap”

 

Hilarious and simply brilliant is how I would describe latest commercial of DLF – Indian Premier League.  Agency has successfully married the two biggest religion of nation Cricket and Bollywood in this one script. The advertisement not only has brilliant story line but also executed to the perfection.

 

The tempo was build over a period of time and viewers’ curiosity was raised to a level that it becomes a talking point among them. Everyone wanted to know “Kaun hai bachcho ka baap”.

 

Hope the IPL itself also turns out to be equally exciting.

A latest song hummed by the child makes parents proud of their child’s talent. Child gets rewarded through lots of praises. Now the stage has grown and children perform in front of live and TV audience. Various talent hunt shows has make this bigger than ever and the rewards has grown too. Few days back , one such show held a finale at where contestants performed and whole nation seemed to vote for them. The winner takes 20 laks of cash, a brand new car. Now that’s something really big for a teenager. Infact the youngest winner who takes 10 laks as reward was not even in his teens. Its amazing to see the talent getting rewarded in style.

Reliance : Thy Name Trust

February 27th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in India Insight & Beyond, Marketing & advertising

Reliance by virtue of its name generate confidence. And Ambani’s has done unthinkable to keep the flag flying high for these years. I may not understand the depth of share market but this is my take on reliance as an consumer.

People has shown immense faith in the Reliance Power IPO and oversubscribed it as expected. The issue bombed on the day of listing and thousands have burned thier fingures. And then came the unexpected announcement of Bonus shares. And now talks of buy back of shares.

Hatoff to Mr Anil Ambani . This is a great gesture of corporate giant to show support to millions who have trusted them over years and keep thie confidence alive in BRAND RELIANCE.

February 1st, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in India Insight & Beyond

ZeroBakar Bakar on Channels about Zero degree temprature (Forecasted for Today) in Delhi has hogged the limelight on prime time slots for last few days.

News channels and Newspaper has debated it out more than they do the annual budget or general election. It become the talking point in offices. Few of my friends from across seven seas even me asked what we are going do to battle the freezing cold.

Now that the day today is coming to an end and there is no sign of Zero in Delhi. It seems that there is some time for homecomimg for Zero . As it is we Indians who gave birth to ZERO and send him around the world ;)

Crown Prince in waiting…

January 31st, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in India Insight & Beyond

crownPrince Charles of Great Britain has become the longest waiting Prince in queue to the thrown. And what a wait.. more than 59 years. Long live the queen.

But then it reminds of difference between Purab and Paschim. Where else but in so called under developing nations like India and Pakistan one would sacrifice the power and chair for the children.

Not to glorify anyone but earlier Ms. Gandhi and now Mr. Zardari has taken chosen to pave way for their children (People may choose to call this political compulsions).

I think sacrifice will bring you more glory and power than the artificial titles. Stepping down and nurturing future will surely make you the king of the hearts.
