The best and the worst Ads of Indian Television

Hi All, this is Sowmia and as you know I’m new to Life Rocks. I’ll be writing posts in leisure category at present and hope you all will enjoy reading it.

I know this could be a common topic discussed everywhere, at least if not in blogs. But I’m discussing this because ads have taken more than 50 % of the programs time be it cricket, movies or serials and I should say these third-rate ads are taking up most of the time in TV.

All most 50% of the ads are totally crap and are against the normal human logic. I’ll just mention some of the worst ones recently seen.

The first one which comes to my mind is the Thumbs-Up (a Coke product) casting Akshay Kumar. He runs over the terrace and jumps down from 8th floor and dives straight in front of the Thumbs-up van and grabs a bottle. That was a marvelous effort to get Thumbs-up, but the question is- Is it that difficult to get thumbs-up?

The toilet ads by Aman Verma are worse and I don’t even want to comment on those. The latest one of LUX by Aishwarya which has bathtub floating through the air is beyond understanding. Frankly speaking I didn’t even know what exactly is happening in that. But it’s much better than Ash playing 16 year college girl in Pepsi.

The fairness cream ones in which the guy going to Girls hostel for stealing cream and the song “Hi Handsome Hi Handsome” is so irritating to the ears and also not to mention the worst ads given by the Men in Blue.

But we can’t come to the conclusion that due to some of the third rate ads all the advertisement has gone below the standards; there are some which is very good worth watching and which stick to the standard.

The top among this is the naukri.com in which the subordinate spells the boss name “HARI SADHU”, its one of my favorite. It explains the logic with some wit included and which will stick to the mind and has got some essence in it which makes us watch that ads more and more times with out getting bored and which don’t give us a feeling of changing the channel. This is where an ad becomes successful. The ad of surf excel in which the kid brother hits the mud to make his little sister happy is also a sweet one.

The ad in which the dad comes to his son’s school asks his son how to check the cricket score is also an interesting one.

The ads, even if they are best or worst, are ruling the Indian television.
