Kaise hoyega achcha ad. Every ad on TV is by any BW star... they lobby hard to get brands... because nowadays that's their main source of income... and then armtwist them to make the ad from his/her friend's ad agency... these days it's Dharma 2.0. Toh kachra hi toh dikhenge ads ke naam par.

Another reason behind bad ads is... the trend of those samaj seva type ads... they do nothing for the brand... you totally forget which brand's ad that andhe ko TV dikhao ad was... yah gareeb bachche ko chocolate khilao ad... or 3rd gender ke liye aansu na rok pao ad... some of them were really good... but now as those have become a trend it neither amuse you or makes you think nor do they help the brand in any way.

Is anyoen here interested in ads? I feel it's been a terrible year for Indian ads. I don't remember a single and effective ad on TV/web which was good, except for the flipkart one. 😕

Add digital ads to the list. The most boring format of them all. They are like mini short films.😆 I know everyone loved those amouk ads with the lesbian story and Radhika's working mom one but I found them so boring and tiresome! 🥱

True about BW stars hogging brands. And being absolute shit at them, esp if it's a character play. I remember earlier how these models would get a break in the industry after starring in ads. Ab toh woh sab khatam ho gaya.

Sorry to butt in...but RK was a treat to watch, with all the stupidity of the character that he got to play, I will say he put forth one of the most amazing performances...If you watch the movie just to experience his acting skills, you wont find it that intolerable but otherwise yes its such a terrible movie!

But he'd literally played the same angst ridden character in atleast 3-4 movies. There was nothing new in his treatment. And yeah ADHM was a terrible movie. Comparing that to Tamasha he was better I feel. The to and fro he did from one Ved to another was something new. There's a running joke about how he plays the same character in different movies. Man-child without any ambition in a foreign locale trying to find himself and boom comes a woman and changes him. Wake-up Sid, Rockstar,YJHD,Tamasha,ADHM, Bombay Velvet. All of them fit lmao. 😆 I think the only movie I've thoroughly enjoyed and applauded was Rocket Singh.That was incredible!
