Yeah. A bit different. Are the facts they are showing really true about the Sanskrit talking Village and the African village?

The Sanskrit talking village is Mattur and its true that they converse in Sanskrit. Its close to Shimoga.

It is nice to know this. Such ads make a difference!

YouTube - AIRTEL : CHAMPIONS LEAGUE : T20 : DIWALI HOGI CUP WALI : AWESOME VIDEO

I love the jingle. Alrite. It's more than just a jingle.

they arent on anymore...but its the ones where the guy and girl are together, but then either one of them breaks it off and ties it in with the Fastrack slogan "Move On"

What do you say about the panda advertisement for gems and the tiger one for the Monaco eh ?

Eddy · 8th October 2009, 12:31

Pathetic is right word. Just can't make the head or tail of the Panda ad.

The ad for the new mahindra scooter ( the Rodeo, I believe) is downright ridiculous!Update : Youtube video embedded

guy on the bike looks hilarious, the fist bump at the end is epic!

The Panda's change colour as they eat the gems. As per the colour the gems turn one particular part of their fur into the colour of the gem itself. Once the gem gets digested inside the system, the fur changes back to normal.

Its quite complicated actually. Has a very deep meaning.

No, I got that. But what message is it trying to put across ? Looks like they are selling gems because its multicolored.

I saw this ad when I was very young.
A lady in her 30s walks in a eye clinic to get her eyes checked.
The doctor slips on the sight testing frame on her nose and puts some
glasses to check her eye sight power.
'Read the display ' he commands.
Lady: I can't read.
Doc: Ok (Switches to some other powered glasses) Read now.
Lady: Nope can't read.
Doc : (Switches to some other powered glasses) Try again.
Lady: Nope can't read.
Frustrated Doc: Whats wrong can't you see anything.
Lady: Doc I can see everything, but I cannot read as I am Illiterate.

It was a literacy advert to spread awarness amongst people along with the
'Padhna likhna seekho, O mehnat karne waalo' jig.

I'm not sure whether it worked but the eye check up thing was bang on spot and left a lot to ponder about. That was some thinking by whosoever made that at that time.
I think it was in Marathi.

The message is for the Panda's not for us. i.e. Eat gems to have a colourful life. We unfortunately dont grow any fur.

Hi Friends,

Today I saw a new advertisement on new Swift Sports on Start Sports launching soon with Rally Suspensions
Tried to find the video on youtube and other websites, googled for more info on the launch and had no luck

Could somebody give me more information on this new model if you have any update

Mods Please delete/move this thread of duplicated

This spells absolute mayhem for an already confusing segment! Could it be the *new* 1.6 k series engine going in the sx4? God, I wish I had to buy a 'second' car right now. Would have rushed with my cheque to Maruti! For the first time, even rattles would be allowed if this offering from Maruti is as souped up as the international markets! Woohoo!

shuvc · 15th October 2009, 04:26

The ad I saw mentioned something about Swift's performance. Don't recall anything being mentioned about suspension. Have they released more than 1 ad?

They'll probably just launch with the 1.2 K-series + a 'sports' package.
