Advertisements form almost half the viewership time on most popular tv channels in India. This review is about those ads which I find difficult to see or digest and prompt me to immediately switch to another channel or even switch off the idiot box.
1) KAYAM CHOORAN :: This is an ad for a type of ayurvedic digestive powder and features three cannibals (named constipation , gas and one more). The hero Rakesh Bedi shoots them off with pellets or bullets of the product. The ad is almost 10 years old and is still seen on Sab TV and Zee News
2)KOOCHIES BABY DIAPERS: This is an ad for a product which gives you a glowing indicator of a small poor baby’s peeing . The parents are shown dancing to a popular bollywood dance number and are interrupted by the baby’s you know what. Then they switch over to this magical product and lo!! all problems solved. The ad ends with the baby smiling and the patients wishing him GOODBYE!!. Can be seen on Zee News, AAJ TAK
3) VICCO TURMERIC CREAM: This one starts with Vicco Turmeric, Nahi Cosmetic and takes us to turmeric land where you can apply this almost anywhere to your body. The ad is ancient and can be now rarely seen on local channels
4)MICROTEK UPS INVERTERS: Nothing about the inverter or the ups for that matter. It features a dancing couple with an unbearable jingle who keep on dancing till the ad ends ?????
5)DHL (espn star sports partner): Employees of DHL play with your precious cargo cricket style and bowl , bat and even backflip with the luggage in their hands THE PUNCHLINE: we are into cricket ???. So what?
Available exclusively on espn star
So, when watching tv in india beware of the above or just take them in good humour.
