The Best & Worst Advertisements in India

dZired · 3rd January 2013, 17:07

The fevi kwik advertisement in which two fat men keep laughing after breaking various objects of the house is one of the most pathetic ad I have ever seen.

The new Windows 8 ad especially the one with Hindi song is very catchy and funky. Both models look cool. Learnt that his name is Prosenjit Kundu. Don't know about the lady though.

Really liked this new ad from Mahindra. The song is also powerful.

Two horrible ads I saw last weekend:
1. Some website where the Kahaani guy with a bad wig stands up on a table in his knickers and wants to advertise his flat for rent. Some random guy asks him to give a missed call to this website
2. Greenlam laminates, it seems like a spoof on Kishore da, which I can only think is an insult to him.

This ad was on YouTube much before it was aired on TV. Loved the way they showed all their vehicles in SUV/UV segment. I just can't stop humming this song.

Also, love the song from the ERTIGA (LUV) ad. The song is composed so well.

EDIT: I still can't seem to get the video attached properly. F1!

Any one seen the FOGG deo spray ads? Kitna gas mein udaya kitna body pe lagaya...soch mere bhaya !!
Gosh i guess it got them such sales that they also considered the remixed version of the jingle in the next ad !! I HATE IT (in double caps if there is anything like that)!!

The new Mahindra Rise ad is awesome, for a moment after watching I was considering buying Thar !!

@IronH4wk and Rajivr1612: That ad is awesome, however it has a lot of meaning to it

Ask the support guys !!

Exactly the same thoughts here and that's Xylo. Also the scene in LAdakh when many of the vehicles coming thru the smoke (1.23 min) is another lovely scene. And I was actually thinking about buying a Thar

. Downloaded the video and watching it again and again. I'm now feeling like going for a long trip again (even though I've just come back after a almost 3 month long trip). At last Mahindra has come out with a very nice ad.

And where Mahindra has grown from the "nothing else will do",which sounds like an ad for shaving gels, Tata has seriously messed up the safari promos, from being almost cult culture like, to absolutely mundane.

I second this, Mahindra has really worked hard on their product line up and hats off to the marketing team on the ad

Like everyone else, I am tempted to get an thar.

TATA has not only lost themselves with their ad's but their products as well. They are loosing to Mahindra big time as Mahindra has risen now

I couldn't agree more about the Mahindra add, brutally speaking im a Tata fan and would pick up the safari over a scorpio any given day but this add is amazing, it seems to relate with the heart the same way the Safari 2.2 "reclaim you life" add did... It makes me want to go and pick up a scorpio/thar NOW!!...Loved it...

I love the Axis Bank ad being aired currently. It is Macro economics explained brilliantly.
