Gone are the days when the ad makers would come
up with emotional stories like the girl in the Cadbury Dairy Milk’s ad would
dance while enjoying the chocolate or the classic ad of Amul which became the
voice of the Nation. A little boy running away from home goes back just at the
thought of his mother's 'garma garam jalebi'. The child-like innocence is hard
to reconstruct again now a days. How can we forget the old commercial of Bajaj
which had touched the emotional chords of our hearts?
However, nowadays it is a totally different scenario.
We see commercials for a hair removal cream where Shradha Kapoor trying to rap
or the Fairness cream ad with a totally loud character.
Sometimes I just think what if there is a
mismatch between celebrities and the products that they endorse. Just imagine
Anil Kapoor promoting Hair Removal Brand and performing the same Rap song which
Shradha Kapoor did. I am sure the audience would get doubled. If that brand is
able to remove his long body hair, every girl would definitely prefer the hair
removal cream over waxing.
I always wonder if celebrities like Paresh Rawal
had promoted the baby products like diapers, how they would have looked.
Some of the stupidest Indian ads according to me
which absolutely miss the points are:
The famous infuriating ads of a chocolate brand,
where the girls keep licking the chocolates look pathetic. I mean don’t they
have anything like teeth? Why can’t they eat chocolate without licking fingers?
It doesn’t look appealing at all.
Every car ads shows that they are at the top
position and ranked as number 1 car. So do they expect from people to go and
buy all the cars!
You will impress the CEOs of this world if you
apply skin whitening cream. Come on! There is something known as ‘Qualification’.
God!
Girls become extra strong and want to achieve
everything when they are on periods. Like seriously?
And finally one of the most important things
which Indian ads have taught us is to always remember to close our door while
brushing our teeth. Because curious TV reporters & their camera crews love
storming into people's bathrooms at any given time.
By the way, I haven’t seen a dentist with a
stethoscope. Did you?
