Did anyone see the new Motorola ad where there is Abhishek and a mini Abhishek? Aapadai podi kanaa...something of that sort!

Awesome ad!

Well for people who want to know which song it is here is the link

YouTube - Gilli - Appadipodu (video.jorefm.com)

This is a vijays movie with Trisha. Brilliant movie and great song. Reminds me of college where the entire college used to dance for this song during the fest. Was a wild time.

Just caught the ad for the new Mahabharat serial on 9X channel called - Kahani humari Mahabharat ki - in the theatre. I know it's on 9X channel too.

Loved it - simply very good work.

Just saw the promo on 9X news. Balaji at its creative best! I just hope that their characters are not changed mid-way as is the case with their soaps otherwise we may well get to see that in one episode Gauri Pradhan in the role of Draupadi is being stripped and mid-way in the next episode, she is replaced by Mandira Bedi.

Just caught Maruti's latest campaign on TV - the 'India comes home in a Maruti' one. Starts off with a PYT picking up her dad from the airport and the old man jumping behind the Vitara's wheel with a sly grin

At the end of the advert, they show a dude holding up a 'Have to reach home for Diwali' placard beside a broken bus on a most fabulous stretch of some highway! A swanky red Swift cruises to halt and apparently the dude reaches home in time for the fireworks

I am really cuious what stretch of which highway is that?! It looks awesome!

Sick Ad (very graphic - but all text)

Contract Advertising’s newspaper advertisement against female foeticide which won the gold at the Cannes Lions 2008 in the public awareness category. The ad was created for the NGO, Aadhar.

The new Maruti ad is simply off the hook...! Loved it. The theme strikes our patriotic chord....

How apt. "India comes home in a Maruti..."

The Hubli-Dharwad bypass, I believe. En-route Karnataka. The best section of tarmac whilst travelling from Mumbai to Kerala.....!

The Samsung Guru and the Aamir Khan Samsung ads are the worst. What's with Aamir behaving like a retard in the ad ?

Not really!

It is like Aamir had Isbagol and relieving himself on a commode!

Look at this...Maruti's silver hue

The ad was shot across Blr / Mysore / kerala and rajasthan. I think this is the ring road that connects Bangalore to Mysore. ( the road that bypasses Bangalore and joins to the Mysore Highway )
