Not a review on Ekta Kapoor?s serials but this is a review on the ads that keep interrupting while our favourite programmes are going on.
After giving a lenghty treatise on the 10 worst ads, I present my list of **10 best ads** in the order of my preference.
*Pure humour
*The ads in this category are best due to the witty manner in which the dialogues have been said.
**Pepsi: Big B & Warsi
**Simply humorous, thanks to the way
Arshad Warsi says?Bheja phir gayela hai kya, paani pee?
Big B says?Bahut pyaas lagi hai na, Paani pee paani?
**Hide & Seek: Phone karke mangwana**
The ad has Sudeep Sahir, the Channa ve guy(considered a cuter version of Anuraag Basu).
The ad shows that often simple things are much more beneficial to flaunt than expensive mobile phones
*Macdonalds: Chudail
*When I saw the girl in the ad, I literally said?This girl looks like a Chudail?.
To my utter wonder, the girl herself said that she has been selected for the role of Chudail in the film?Chudail ka badla?, as the director told her that she looks like a Chudail.
Very funny & humorous ad indeed, as it said what the audience would say, on looking at the girl.
**Crack cream: Satya nahin chhupta**
A woman in jagran tries to hide her cracked soles while the speaker is mentioning about trying to hide one?s weaknesses & embarassments.
**Ruffles: Saif & Pataudi**
Pataudi proves that he is, after all Saif?s BAAP, as he fools Saif by keeping an empty Ruffles pack on the chair, so that Saif vacates the sofa seat.
Saif fully clean bowled by Pataudi?s trick.
**BenQ:
**Difficult to say if Cyrus is a cartoon or a chimpanzee thanks to all his naughty acts of humour even in this ad. Be it Devdas getting a ghoosa or a Cowboy loosing his half moustache, he is simply one of the best comedians on the small screen.
*Bachcha party:** The kids have given a good performance in these ads.
**Huggies
**This ad is my most favourite, as a cute innocent looking baby is advertising for the product.
Morever it is the kiddish way with which, the speaker is mentioning about the kids?s woes. An ad simple & worth watching.
Another ad shown long time back, had 2 kids playing the role of money lenders & talking about the bulk purchase of nappies. That was equally humorous.
**Horlicks**
I liked this ad, the moment I saw it. It?s a simple ad of a kid who is mischievous but has equal love for his elder brother(when he kisses his elder brother), yet never stops his pranks. A good example of Brotherly love.
The US should learn a lesson from this & stop their cruel & inhumane behaviour towards Iraq.
**Chatar Patar**
This ad is about a young girl who eats Chatar Patar & spills the beans on her mother by saying that her mother is serving granny to get all the wealth.
Hearing the granny says?Kya abhi hi maar dalegi?
Moral: Don?t talk such things in front of kids.
**Visa card? Tinku ad**
Surprised to hear this. There are family members who are keen on naming the baby & are discussing as to what name they should give.
All of a sudden, the child utters the word?Tinku?. Whether the talking of the kid was real or a camera trick, it was simply delightful. Watch the ad to enjoy it.
**Romantic? Sangini
**A wife knows that her husband is forgetful, as he forgets the arrival time of his wife?s flight & also leaves keys in the car. Yet the love with which, he presents her diamonds, indicates his true love for his better half.
No wonder, Diamonds & Doting husbands are women?s favourites
*Special mention
**Amul? Fat lady
**Surprised to read something like this. I?ll explain it.
This ad has a young lad eating an Amul choco stick when suddenly the stick starts pointing towards someone. The lad sees a fat lady & gets scared but gets relieved when the fat lady moves away & he sees a young girl eating the same ice cream. Finally, the lad & the girl meet.
In the meantime, the fat lady also eats an Amul stick & the same reaction occurs with her.
Moral: Someone, somewhere an Amul choco stick? eater, is made for you
**Coca cola:*** Yaara da tashan, Nepali & Paanch
Aamir Khan was entertaining in all the 3. But the best among these, is the Nepali ad, where Aamir, as a tourist guide, tactfully demands Coca Cola.
Car ad: Respect comes naturally when you are in it.
Pathetic: Dho dala(Clinic al clear), Kaise sanskaar(Mediker), Kissing soap(Nirma), Harpic
