Couldnt agree with you more. Its yuck .

Nothing beats 'Kuch Khaas hai zindagi mai" series. Was watching it recently after hearing that Sofiya Haque, the girl in the ad had passes away.

Has anybody seen the recent Havell's Ad? In one, the maid/ cook, when she is just going out after placing all dishes is asked to sit down along with the family and asked to have supper /dinner.
In another one, at Registrar Office, before the marriage, the guy will say, his would be wife name will remain the same even after marriage and HE will take his wife's surname ! Such original and thoughtful Ads! Really happy to see them!

Hay anyone seen this SX4 ad? decent car ad after a long time

I like the new Fluence commercial. Good jingle as well.

The expressions of the actor, specially at the petrol bunk is excellent.

Edit: Watch in HD.

PS: Is it shown as KL 5 all over India? I though they were switching the registration for each state.

Hey Guys,

What are your views on the new ad series featuring Aamir Khan for Godrej?

I know it is going to generate extremely polarized opinions.

I personally liked the ad and the concept of products features being woven into the story line.

Help ! I just can't stand the IPL jumpin japang thing ! It somehow gets into the head and sticks there.
The fluence ad is cool.

I'm still not sure I entirely like it but it got my attention. It appears to be the first of a series, so lets see how it pans out.

I just love the new Frooti ad, look at the expressoins of the kids, each of the kids did it so well.

Am I the only one who finds the Lay's Chile Lemon ads extremely stupid and idiotic? How can you manage to drop a fan in a college library? Also, eating potato chips can give you 'panga' ideas. Really?

+1. You are not alone bro!
This ranks high in one of the stupid ads on the idiot box right now.
The 1st rank, though takes the IPL ads without any doubt.

Sanjay dutt still getts to be featured in advts. Seen in todays toi . I like sanjay as munnabhai, and inspired me to pick my handle. But someone in waitlist to be jailed for an anti national crime should not get advt space and revenues from it, imho

yes, I hope the next thoughtful ad is about traffic, though I am not sure how they will advertise a fan through that!
For some reason I find the guy in that marriage ad a bit irritating. He is just one of those that I feel like punching in the face for no reason at all

I guess he is there in some other ad too

yes, the kids saved it. I have no idea why that ad needed Shahrukh Khan. It would have been more effective with an ordinary (normal,

) guy.

Yes its really idiotic. What makes it worse is that the actors laughter sounds so forced and he looks as if he has woken from a hangover to shoot for this ad.

I love this ads Jingle as well. I keep humming it to myself after watching this ad.

I can't be overtly critical about a Fiat ad

Might not be a great ad but certainly a good start.

That olx ad, where the couple sells their long car because its shorter than their neighbour's, it is real cheap and irritating.
