UPDATE – The tvc is out too.
Wow..what a deadly combo! Get ready to see the plastic and the pristine. The actor and the mannequin! And that rhymes too! Aha Kate, Wah Kate!
The third one in the pic along with Kate Winslet and Aishwarya Rai is Taiwanese model Chi-ling Lin. The commercial is being shot in Rome and its for Longines Watches DolceVita collection. The buzz in the blogosphere is that its based on the film La Dolce Vita. Hum dekhenge!
Here are two videos we are playing in non-stop loop these days. First is, what they say, KISS! Keep it simple, stupid. Two characters, one car and a golden oldie. Who needs fancy props or locations for good chemistry, only a song will do. Check it out, the new SBI Life Insurance commercial.
The second one is the promotional video of Raat Gayi Baat Gayi. Quite catchy tune and surely deserves more airtime. Lil late, but we are blushing all over again, watching Iravati Harshe, our crush from DD days.
Is it intentional because it makes headlines and grabs eyeballs ? Or its all because of the concept! Since last few years Aamir Khan’s tv comercials have been discussed and dissected more for his looks than anything else. Product, brand, acting, shooting – everything takes a backseat. Here is the latest Tata Sky tvc in which Aamir plays a ventriloquist and has a puppet in his hand.
Aamir’s look and character is based on Ramadas Padhye, India’s well know ventriloquist. If you are interested to know more about the tvc, here’s a video on the making of the commercial.
And sometimes it seems like Aamir is obsessed about his looks. In a Tata Innova tv commercial, he appeared in six different looks, enacting six popular characters from his six different films. Rang De Basanti, Ghulam, Dil Chahta Hai, Rangeela, Lagaan and Sarforash. If you havent seen it yet, click the play button.
