Best of TV Ads - Millimetres Matter

(Links courtesy BestAdsOnTv.com)

This perhaps one of the finest ads in recent times. And indeed, not to forget, the macro videogrpahy is really awesome. Also shows how much effort it requires to shoot such videos.

Some of the best Indian TV commercials

After having compiling a list of worst Indian TV commercials.. here goes some of my best TV commercials list...

1. Naukri.com - Hari Sadu. Perhaps till date one of the fav ads of all times. Hats off to the agency which did this work - FCB Ulka. No wonder the ad has won Campaign of the Year award.

The video can be seen on Youtube:

2. Captain Cook (salt) - perhaps one of the old time favourites of mine which showed how negative connotation can be used to advertise brand. I do not recall seeing any such other Indian TV commercial using this style.

3. Hutch - You and I commcerical series with Cheeka (the dog). Lovely series of ads, though I doubti if the commercial and network were linked at all :)
Some wiki information about it:

4. Fevicol ads - hen and egg, pakde rehna chhodna nahin (hanging from bridge), hundreds of people on a truck in some remote place in Rajasthan, a woman labor putting her kid on top of Fevicol can.. the list is endless.. simpy marvelous pieces of work. could google this:

Worst Indian TV commercials..

I had been thinking for quite sometime compiling a list of my all time favourites and most hated TV commercials... for the time being this post shall cater to the latter... I shall have a separate one for the former sometime later..

1. Young India undergarments

2. Frooti's Digen Verma (if I got the spellings right) - this one had created a lot of hype about the product being talked about. Though I do not mean to say the Ad was bad, but the teaser concept was bad, the way it unfolded. What the heck.. it is just a Frooti!!! It definitely create a lot of hype and perhaps rang some cash registers too for Parle Foods... but the end was crazy!
and
Pepsi TV - on the same lines as that of Digen Verma.. this one too did not make any sense at all to me. I initially thought they are actually coming up with a TV channel.. even though they would have.. the ad would have remained bad...

3. Sharuhkkkkkkhan's Lux ad!!! (that makes 2 for SRK: Pepsi TV and Lux) - Gosh!! I dunno what the hell was he thinking when he signed for it... perhaps to be a beast amongst beauties...!!! :D

4. Some saria's ad - Dharmendra... maalik ki mohar :d

5. khushboo waalah dollar!!! ($ undergarments advertisements)
