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.....!

Doesnt look like the Hubli-Dharwad highway; either its the NH4 between Nippani - Belgaum or the NICE Road connecting Bangalore City - to Mysore Road.

Zen Estilo ad was good. A girl runs away with her lover in Estilo, on the way, her father (check post guard) stops the car and is surpriced with Estilo's features & let them go - without seeing her daughter inside :-).

Whether Estilo is good or not, ad was good at least.

Sorry if posted earlier.

Airtel ad quality seems to have taken a nosedive with the introduction of Vidya Balan. Their old ads were much better.

This applies to the movie thread as well.

Anyone noticed how Vidya Balan WHISPERS her dialogues ? She did it in her debut Pareenita and continues from there.

I simply hate it !! HATE IT !!

Speaking of Vidya Balan, did anyone see her Toshiba Laptop's advertisement? I mean which fool will buy "this one" for his business? Just because some stupid actress is promoting it? Some ad-makers think that their perspective buyers are fools.

Totally OT: Who is this Vidya Balan? Was she a south Indian actress before she joined Bollywood? She just came out of the blue. She must be having some mighty connections. Horrible dress sense, horrible dialogue delivery and in one movie promo she looks like Shahid Kapoor's mother.

LOL, you should see the promo. Shahid is quite a capable dancer and you can see it in the promo, whereas Miss Balan is dancing like those girls who have 2 left feet in the corner of a disc. Totally hilarious man. Dating in Bollywood has a whole different meaning.

Shahid is a trained Dance from SHaimak Davar's Institute, he also use to teach at the institute, so he can dance very well, Speaking of Vidya Balan hahaha SHe should take the honours for her worst dressing sense. but guys she looks hot in Sareeees what say??

Spitfire · 24th June 2008, 19:04

We were celebrating Diwali in our office 98% of the girls were looking good. The next day we were back to only 2% good looking girls. Guess why?

I like the new Puma ad, very well made.

SumitB · 24th June 2008, 19:12

We will soon be accused of going wayyyyy off topic.

@Spitfire: They were all wearing sarees?

Saree mein Maa Maal lagti hai.
