The Best & Worst Advertisements in India

bblost · 13th March 2008, 17:47

am feeling quite the odd one out again.
I simply love the Fiesta advert.

esp the toy going hay wire.

you see I generally keep my laptop on rear seat, right hand side and in office pick it up from the left hand side.

I'm surprised there are no comments on the DLF Premier League AD!
Its one of a kind. Nice mix of the real thing and graphics.
The words are also nice so is the music. KARAMYUDDH!
I can watch that 10 times over. Mostly comes on NDTV Profit
before the market opens and on NDTV news!

Righto. I saw the print Ad and was very impressed.

Wolffe · 13th March 2008, 23:36

The first ad for the Pulsar-with the nurse looking under the cover and screaming "It's a BOY"..Totally cool ad.

I finally got to see the Pulsarmania ad, after hearing about it here. Actually got to watch it twice in half an hour. My opinion? **
I guess Bajaj is going overboard with their ads now, as against the earlier set of ads when the Pulsar was first launched, which were classics.

As for the discussion on the new Fiesta ad, i would rate it lower than the Pulsar mania ad.

Hey just saw the ad on Youtube! Amazing ad. Really good one in a long time.

Hurrycane12 · 15th March 2008, 10:46

yup the new Pulsar advt looks cool good choreography of stunts and amazing camera work...

Summing up the posts reg the Pulsar Mania ad, I quote you guys saying that

Hmm. What can I say. As a long time Bajaj biker - I have had the RTZ, the 125 & then the 150. I love the bikes, but am quite critical at times. And this ad is one such time.

The stunts are good. But editing leaves a lot to be desired. Seems to be put together by a greenhorn, lacking flow & lucidity. Seems like they just cut the best parts of the stunts and pasted these together. There's no build-up to each of these stunts.

These shortcomings were seen in the prev ad for the Pulsar where they did street racing, but it wasnt so noticeable - rather, it was at pardonable levels. But not this time.

Still a far cry from the original "I feel like God" ad that they created for the Eliminator.

You talking about Bajaj bikes or the ad?

I like most of Bajaj ads, although I cannot say the same about their bikes. Just my opinion.

I agree. That was by far the best of the lot.

motorheadinc · 15th March 2008, 13:27

oops I think i missed that last ad on eliminator on TV.
can someone post the youtube link for the same here.

Going back in time there was one ad for Bajaj caliber, which had a song in the background "ae chalne waale raah main rukna na haar k". I believe that was almost a decade back but i can still recall almost the entire lyrics. The setup for that ad was simply great.

EDIT: just saw that ad by a little bit of searching.
Its an avenger ad. the link is

YouTube - Bajaj Avenger - Feel Like God

EDIT 2: And now the caliber ad about which i was talking bajaj caliber

YouTube - Old Bajaj Caliber ad
