Bindaas Best, Really Rottens, Yr1:Vol2

So here it comes, the next volume of my Advert List. As you friends know these aremy choices and my preferences.

 

Bindaas Best

1. Naukri – Hari Sadu

One of the best Naukri ads. Though most are good, but u just can stop laughing once u have seen this one. I am sure people having such Boss would always remember the name Hari Sadu if not anything else.

 

2. Femina

Audrey Mayben, Sheetal Malhar and Megha Kawale – should I say more. The story of aspirations – ‘can do’ attitude. Zimply Zuperb!!

 

3. Parle Crackjack – Back to school

Main tiffin nahi lati thi, Zaroorat hi nahi thi! – three friends remembering the good old days of school and the girl revealing that she was the tiffin chor –

“Parle Krackjack. Duniya ka pehla sweet and salty biscuit. 1972 se aaj tak, aapka favourite.” – and my favorite ad

 

4. Alto

Just cant get enough of the tune. It really takes you off!

 

5. Kit kat – kissing the bride

I guess everyone has seen this one where the main character takes benefit of the hoopla to kiss the ‘bride to be’ in the restaurant. Love the ad just for the ingenious opportunism

 

6. Daag Achchhe heyn

Though it’s a lift from Persil (check www.persil.com) but the treatment and indianization is cool. Has lots of feel good factor.

 

7. Aditya Birla Group

The one with four people at four parts in the world awakened by the man in water. Then the water, Sand, Fire and Leaves come together to show the internationalization of Aditya Birla group. The visual appeal is too good to resist.

 

8. Fevicol – Rajasthani Mothers baby control

The newest entry of the Fevicol’s pet theme of sticking everything together. The Rajasthani mother uses the drum of Fevicol to make her child sit tight. Ingenious as always. But saying that, aren’t they getting a bit cliché? A bit predictable altogether?

 

9. Titan Wall Street

As always Amir scores on a TVC. Brilliant concept and verrry well executed. The second part, where the candidate asks “Sir, mera kaam kya hey?” and Amir responds with the clicks of stapler – zzzzuperb!

 

10.  Nescafe Three in One

Three friends, living together, starting a day. One of the newest adverts – feeling good about it.

 

Really Rottens

 

1. Parle Digestive Marie – Anti Marie Bureau

Bad bad move. Starting it with some hint of excitement, then what they do? Oh my god!! Kajol falling flat in this one too!

 

2. Lux Celebration – Kareena’s Chocolate lick

I know females believe in lot of crazy stuff when it comes to their beauty, but are they so dumb to fall for this one? Chocolates? And that too not inside ur mouth but on body? What a waste? Or do they let the males lick it off her? Shahid – will u let us? But first will I be interested – nooo, not from Kareena.

 

3. Airtel – Sharukh flicks

The "Naaji" ones! Anyone who has heard the initially released Radio version, where all the flicks are with two Surds, will vouch how better those ones are. We all know King Khan loves to overact – but this much? Sharukh once again falls flat on TVCs.

 

4. Pepsi Café Chino

The punch line is “Kick of cola, with kiss of coffee”; to show the kick of cola, Priyanka Chopra actually has to kick the male model? How dumb a visualizer can be? I think the leading ladies of Bollywood are falling flat like ninepins.

 

5. Tata Indicom true paid

What is this? No I mean what the hell is this? May be they are scoring with their target market – but by acting like idiots? Anyways I think the less I say about this one – the better

 

6. Maha Munch

The leading lady falling flat – another example; nothing much than a “Bhand” is what Rani looks like in this one
