Surprising that noone has commented on the new BMW X5 ad.

I liked the 7 series ad bette

Are these print adverts or on TV?

The telly man...the 7 series with the swimmer's were fantastic!

South Indian movie stars are into the cola and soft drink ads now - mixed effects.
Asin has a whole series of Mirinda ads. The most pathetic of them is the ad in the market. Asin does not fit into the ad or the role she plays and the ad lines are simply pathetic - trying to play around with tamil words for vegetables!
Here is the ad: Mirinda ad with Asin - Market confusion

Vijay's ad for coke is quite nice and pretty good I must say - nothing phenomenal about the ad or concept but well executed and has a feel-good factor. I'm sure Vijay fans will dig it!

I liked the new "Hello Hello" ad from Tata Indicom. Good fun.

I am sure many of us have seen the Vodafone beauty alerts ad shown between the IPL matches. I didn't quite like the phone backup ad but this beauty alert ad is too good.

ya the Hero Honda ad is quite a drag. Too long an ad, you are like waiting for it to finish and it just goes on and on. One ad that i really don't like is that one which has Vidya Balan and Madhavan- some sms ad?

Guys, the new ad for Fiat Linea is so nice. Apt and practical. The kid stops his dad at shops and the dad stops and oogles at the Linea. I liked it

What about the Fanta line of Ads? The ads are very draggy with bakwaas concepts.

PS: I seldom drink carbonated drinks.
One more PS: I still watch the Fanta ads, why? Genelia..

The new dezire ad made me remember the ever beautiful ad for esteem. The one where the son tells his dad the marks in the car:-)

PS: I own an esteem so this much love

Not inclined politically, but BJP adverts are quite tastefully done.

Barring their policies and LK Advani in every advert...The desaturated backgrounds and the person speaking are all quite well done.

The new Vodafone adverts are simply brilliant

The white creatures are apparently called Zoozoo's

YouTube - Vodafone Musical Greetings

YouTube - New vodafone Commercial IPL Contest. Vodafone ipl contest ad. Animated

YouTube - Vodafone IPL alerts

YouTube - Vodafone Beauty Tips

The new Hero Honda Passion Plus ad is really nice. I love the music in it - does anyone know what band it is etc and where i can get it?
The ad itself is quite different from the bike ads these days that just show a lot of stunts and visual effect! Very refreshing:
