Lets get a bit nostalgic shall we…

One of the most fascinating medium of expression in my opinion is the vivid world of ads. Watching the latest Bajaj ad film, which uses a new injection of adrenaline in their age old ‘Hamara Bajaj’, was the inspiration for this post.

As a child growing up, I found the ads more entertaining than actual program they sponsored. I guess the medium specializes in making a quick and lasting impact on the human mind. A good ad is one that is watched till the end, and over and over again. Some classics in recent times are the hutch campaign with the pug, the coca cola with Aamir, ‘thanda matlab coca cola’.

For this blog I have decided to compile a list of some of my favorites

1. Bajaj Tubelights
Jab main chhota baccha tha, Bahut shararat karta tha
Meri chori pakdi jaati… Kyun ki roshni deta Bajaj.
Ab main bilkul buddha hoon Goli khake jeeta hoon
Phir bhi chori pakdi jaati… Kyun ki roshni deta Bajaj.

2. Kuch baat hai : Cadbury Link

3. The original “Hamara Bajaj” ad Link

4. Aishwarya for the campaign to donate eyes

5. Aamir, Aishwarya in the Pepsi Ad
“Hi, I’m Sanjana. Got another Pepsi?”

6. Rasna, I love you Rasna

7. Dhara oil with the kid Link

8. Mile Sur Mera Tumhara Link

9. Natraj Pencils

10. Vicco Turmeric ad Link
