The Best & Worst Advertisements in India

The Onida Xaria ad is real crap

. And the music is damn irritating.

It seems like the awesome Bajaj Pulsar Ad is NOT THAT ORIGINAL after all.

Note the similarities in the lighting effect and the initial stunt of the Bajaj Ad and the Mitsu Cedia Ad below.

YouTube - mitsubishi lancer cedia ad

YouTube - Bajaj Pulsar Mania TV Commercial

Cannot call it a copy. But the *inspiration* seems quite heavy.

BTW, this is the Indonesian Pulsar Ad

YouTube - Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTSI; UG III, Indonesian TV Ad

The new Vodafone ad with Irfan Khan - I like it. The way Irfan speaks makes it very interesting.

Ok do the people travelling by Metro in Delhi actually swing the way it's shown in the credit card ad ?

Well, this is not on TV. But, still its the best Adv I've seen so far

YouTube - New Anthem TOI Leading India "tree" 2min Existing Track

The wannabe rocker guy in the new McDonalds ad is So damn irritating.

normally_crazy · 18th May 2008, 22:15

The Samsung Guru love story ad is simply BAD.

diabloo · 18th May 2008, 22:17

They would have had the same location with the cars replacing,

that both the ads have a lot of similarities. May be they dont have a better concept

Indeed getting on the nerves; i hate the way he tones and tries to make his last sentence lighter.

I agree on the Ranbir-Deepika ones....but the Yum Yas Dhoni from Chennai spoof is what I was waiting for since years!

P.S.: This is a huge thread, hence no time to scroll through it completely. I don't know whether this has been mentioned before....the Airtel advert with the two boys playing cross-border football which is followed by the words "Barriers break when people talk" left me awestruck.

Oh yes, that was horrible. The copywriter was probably gunning for some pseudo noble peace prize with her ill though dhimmi initiative. Not to mention the beyond laughable depiction of a "border".

Unfortunately this is what happens when fools are allowed creative expression.
