I have sun tv and I am totally amazed at the claims that the ads are making without any medical or scientific backing . My personal opinion being that there is less accountability in the Indian market and that corporate companies are getting away without giving all the facts or even claiming what is not true.

I like the song in the old Nirma ad (Washing powder Nirma.....)
Rings a nostalgic note w/ me..... :wink: :D
Not sure how effective the powder must've really been tho!
ADs that caught attention:
1. Woodwards Gripe Water (A series of mother and daughters)
Enna aachu..? Kozhanthai azhuthuthu..
2. Kaakkara chandru ... (Asian Paints)
3. Mint-o-fresh
4. Chennai-Silks
One kid with mouthful of lip-stick shouting "Chennai Silks"
5. Archana (usually this comes only in radio)
Inime lateaaa vantha archanaavoda thaan varanum
6. Complan - I am a complan boy.
7. Bajaj - Humara Bajaj
8. Nescafe - No words - simply beautiful music.
9. Johnsons baby powder
10. Of course CADBURYs
11. Hutch ads
12. ICICI prudential - The father will place the hand and protect the child.
The most important thing is, these ads dont have any celebrities to sell their product. Still they attract and make the audience sit up.

Does ne-one rem. this amusing TV ad abt ECE bulbs/tube-lights (circa late '80s)......I rem. seeing it mostly in Hindi....
This man is asked by his wife to buy a new light bulb for the home & he sets out.......he then encounters a few ppl. on the way, who advise him to buy ECE bulbs.......then almost gets hit by a red open-top Standard Herald car packed w/ a trad. Tamil family (the guy driving the car says 'Aiyyayo....') & one of the ladies (clad in a Madisar I think!) gets up & repeats the same advice on buying ECE bulb.........and finally as he enters the shop, even the shopkeeper hands him out a bulb of said brand! :D
I don't rem. how long its been since I last saw this ad but I really miss it when I often think of it......! :D
This ad was interesting but overdose of it proves to be irritating :D How did u miss the doberman which chases the guy on his way to the shop?
In the climax the bulb lights up when the guy holds it in his hand!
I also enjoyed the Hajmola ad with its sensational background music! :D
Hmm......well, looks like my memory of tat one bit has faded away w/ time! :D Prob. bcos I've seen dogs chasing things/ppl. in quite a few ads (& of course 'n' no. of movies!) so didn't find it particularly unique to rem. :DQuote:

Then there was also the Ortem fans ad w/ ppl. from different regions mispronouncing 'Ortem' until one dashing youth gets it right & the girl nearby whisks him away...... :D
IMHO, most of these old ads got more prominent in ppl's minds than todayz ones w/ celebrities in them.....
good heavens! i was googling to find the origin of your name :DQuote:

Oh well, fun to walk down memory lane sumtimes! :D
