Amway Attitude Ad (Tattoo Girl & Girls outing in a car)

Beauty is all about Attitude

Amway for its attitude line of cosmetics has created some TVCs. The TVC is good for the music and the theme girls with attitude.

http://www.amway.in/
The first advertisement is of the Girl with a lot of tattoos and piercing. Till now tattoos & piercing are considered  rebels of the world as an emblem of toughness and defiance. Also lot of people look them as a symbol for sex and ask them out.

The amway ads clears that mindset with the attitude ad. Although the girl is ultra modern but she is also deep rooted to the family and culture. The story line is when a friend invites her friend to  family in the vacation everyone is surprised at her get up. tattoo everywhere be it shoulder, hand or upper chest, piercing in eyes lower lips etc.

The model in the ad Paloma Monnappa


Watch the TVC at 

The other commercial of Attitude is all about the modern girls.  They can go on outing themselves and in case of a flat they dont need to ask a guy to help them. They are capable of doing it themselves.



The ad has been very well made although they are taking selfie, doing so calle dgirly things but when it comes to a flat tyre they can change the tyre themselves.



Watch the TVC at 


Also see attitude's brilliant other ads.
The family dinner and the couple with theme sharmana jaante hain. Aur Shararat v jaante hain.




The attitude ad featuring model in the ramp is also very nice, the theme is Itrake chlna jaante hain.......aur khud hasna b jaante hain.. watch it here. When any difficult situation comes todays womens are prepared to face it. be it a wardrobe malfunction in a ramp show or the breaking of the heel in the runaway in a fashion show.

The Green Mile (1999) Film Review

The Green Mile (1999) Film Riview


Starring
Tom Hanks as Paul Edgecomb
David Morse as Brutus Howell
Michael Clarke Duncan as John Coffey

Director: Frank Darabont

After Shawshank Redemption everyone was expecting another good movie from Frank Darabont. And he did not disappoint. With Tom Hanks in the lead role. the green mile is a brilliant movie.

Like Shawshank Redemption the film is primarily set in an infirmary where the fellas who have been sentenced for execution are sent. They are in "E block" I guess it is Execution Block.

Different staff working there have different characteristics. While Edgecomb and guards have matured with experience, greenhorn like Percy Wetmore treats the inmates in a real bad way. And he continues to do so with his connection. Things changes when an giant inmate named Coffey come into E Block. He has been charged with rape and murder of two girls. The guards at Eblock soon started feeling the miraculous power of Giant Coffey.

What will happen will they execute Coffey Or not ?
Will Coffey will be able to do miracle one after another ?

watch the movie to find out.

Some of the brilliant dialogues from the film are

Edgecomb- We each owe a death, there are no exceptions. But, oh God, sometimes the Green Mile seems so long.

John Coffey, only not spelled the same.

John Coffey- Awful tired now, boss. Dog-tired.



My score 9.2 out of 10

Jack & Jones Outdoor campaign featuring Ranveer Singh and the controversy.

Ranveer Singh is now the heartthrob of the advertising industry. Watch any TV channel you will find him promoting something or the other be it the car or breakfast cereals.

See the list of brands endorsed by Ranveer Singh.
http://realquiz.blogspot.in/2016/11/ranveer-singh-and-energy-packed-brands.html

But amongst various campaigns one campaign has landed in trouble. The brand in question is Jack and Jones.

They created an outdoor campaign  featuring Ranveer Singh.

See the ad.
The ad is an extension of Jack & Jones latest campaign 
the ad appears to be sexist. And popular bollywood and south actor Siddharth (of Rang De Basanti) criticized the campaign and in microblogging site twitter tweeted that A new low for women's rights in the workplace in India. What were they thinking?

The tweet also evoked the same response and most of the user condemned the ad. As a responsible brand Jack and Jones in damage control accepted the wrongdoing and replied to Siddharth and tweeted that 
We didn't intend to offend anyone with one of our billboards. and withdrawing it immediately.

Now celebrities coming under scanner for wrong brand endorsements have to be more and more careful. because these type of campaigns no matter how eye catchy may be, it will destroy the brand reputation in some days.

Reebok 25,915 Days Commercial

Reebok 25,915 Days  Commercial.

In recent times It is one of the best commercials. This time it is Reebok.



The theme of the ad is based on the following premise, The average human lifespan is 71 years. That’s 25,915 days. 25,915 opportunities to make the most of our time, honoring the body you’ve been given through a commitment to physicality. So what are you waiting for? The clock, and your days, are ticking. Calculate yours at http://Reebok.com/CountYourDays.

The ad at the start seems more like a fitness band or smartwatch kind of ad like fitbit where the performance is measured. But as the ad progress one can notice as the age decreases the number shown in the ad increases. like from 3412 - 6825- 9472- 13,120- 14,965...... to finally 25,915 in case of the new born. 

Reebok commercial appeals to Honor the Body you've been given. because its one life of 25,915 days.

Reebok- Be More Human




The music/sound track in the Reebok advertisement is similar to or may be from I Need Never Get Old by Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats.

Jug In My Life.

Baltasar Gracian, the great Spanish philosopher once told "True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing."

When we look back at our past and ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those people who, instead of giving advice or lectures or solutions,  have chosen to be with us in our difficult times and shared our pain cherished the achievements, enjoyed the moments.

Friend is that special person with whom we can share all our secrets, achievements, insecurities, anxieties, personal issues, crisis etc. No matter whatever it is, this special person listens to us at every juncture of life and stood by us without any expectations. He is besides us and encourages to propose your crush , help in choosing the gift even lends his wardrobe so that we look best. If she agrees the special friend is there to celebrate the moment if she rejects again the special friend is there in forgetting her and readying us for the next crush.

I am fortunate enough I had such a wonderful friend who was with me no matter what is the circumstances. Like Alia's Jug he is also my Jug. Starting from my school days he has been rock solid in every situations. Because after a certain stage we are not able to share everything with our parents ( there is always an exception). The friend is that person in this whole world to whom you can share those things. Be it the first crush and how to propose her or watching the first XXX film. Going on the bike without any destination. An impromptu decision and he is there to be a part of it rather than question it. That last  day combine study, he is ready to sacrifice those precious moments to help me in clearing my doubts, No remorse in getting 2 mark less because of that.  All this crazy stuff is possible thanks to my friend. There are a lot of person who have come and went but none will ever take the closest spot in your heart ! That special "Jug"



“I am writing about Jug in my life for the #DearZindagi activity at BlogAdda“.

Pan Bahar brings on board Pierce Brosnan for its new ad. Its really surprising that an actor of the stature of Pierce Brosnan has agreed to endorse a Pan Masala Brand. 
The ad has the usual James Bond scene with actions, class and girls but the Pan Bahar pack or Dabba does not fit in the ad.  Pan Bahar- Class never goes out of style


The tagline of the ad is Pan Bahar- Pehchaan Kamyabi Ki




there were some funny comments in the youtube video like

This is a most unromantic appearance of Pierce Brosnan. No KISSING Scene. 😁😁


What a shitty ad. What was the 'creative' director smoking? Or was he just high on Pan Bahar?

You know that Brexit has impacted UK's economy severely when James Bond sells pan masala for a living.

Oh my god I can't believe Pierce Brosnan will have to come to this.

This guy played Bond and fucked Halle Berry on screen, just remember that next time you feel indispensable.
