Ufone is to mobile network providers what Nando's is to the restaurant arena " their marketing is brilliant, witty and far superior than the rest. It's no shocker that their new commercial starring the versatile Sanam Saeed and the handsome Mikaal Zulfiqar is a hoot.

What starts off as a typical TVC will catch you by surprise just 14 seconds into it.

Sanam plays the role of a seemingly meek housewife, who turns into a wifezilla when her husband asks her to account for the money he gave her last week - something many women can relate to.

Except Sanam doesn't just get angry; she gets even.

In the hilarious one minute commercial, she thrashes poor Zulfiqar and trashes their house in the process. The duo still maintain great chemistry on screen, even while Saeed is showcasing her karate skills.

It's a welcome change from every other commercial, in which a trophy wife is frying endless pakoras for her husband dearest and actually shown to be enjoying it. Usually, the woman is portrayed as submissive but as always, Saeed doesn't conform to the norm. Fans will certainly enjoy seeing the comedic side of the budding actress.

We don't have our own Vogue empowerment ads but this one hints at the same subject matter - women shouldn't be afraid to take matters into their own hands.

However, there are always people who look at the glass half empty...

Why this Pakistani ad starring Sanam Saeed is winning the internet today

A new commercial by Ufone, a cellular service provider in Pakistan, has not only gone viral, but is also being appreciated by social media users for being out of the box and witty.

Starring actors Sanam Saeed, of the popular Pakistani TV show "Zindagi Gulzar Hai" which hit Indian television screens last year, and Mikaal Zulfiqar, the TV commercial (TVC) clearly seems to have struck a chord with the audience.

Though the TVC is about a particular plan provided by the service provider, it seems to have connected with the viewers of the country on a different level altogether. Saeed's character doesn't just thrash her husband in the advertisement, but also attempts to break certain stereotypes the country is grappling with.

What begins on the lines of a seemingly regular narrative, takes a startling turn and leaves the viewer giggling.

"It's a welcome change from every other commercial, in which a trophy wife is frying endless pakoras for her husband dearest and actually shown to be enjoying it," states a report by Dawn, a Pakistani media organisation.

"We don't have our own Vogue empowerment ads," it further reads, "but this one hints at the same subject matter - women shouldn't be afraid to take matters into their own hands."

Needless to say, apart from the pouring complimensts, the Ufone TVC has been shared close to 6,000 times on just Facebook.
