Just
imagine!!!
Day
1: A shabbily dressed bespectacled wanna-be
walks into a stylish bus only to realise that
the person that could soon possibly be his sitting
neighbour in another few seconds is none other
than a sexy smart chick with a bubbly bubble
blowing through her luscious lips. But the guy
has a real hard luck. The beauty denies him his
obvious calling
the seat!!!
Why, well because the lady believes that her stylish
bag deserves that stylish seat more than the shady
guy.
Day
2: History repeats ladies and gentlemen and the
deserving seat is bestowed with the wonderful
ladys exquisite purse one more time.
Day
3: Well, this day lady luck plans to ignite a
different call. The shabbily dressed creature
suddenly gets transformed into the most fashionable
being, attracting the most sought after
stare from the beautiful woman. How? Well, the
creature had entered the transformation
zone by slipping into the most stylish pair of
jeans
Levi Strauss Signature; and the
result: the beauty queen stands up, all awestruck,
to pick up the books, that the guy carries regularly,
from his hand to keep them on the seat beside
her.
Well
the beginning has just been witnessed
buddies and hence its time to say, Let The
Change begin Yaar!!!
Review:
Ok!!! Now this is a serious question to which
Ad Pick needs a serious answer. Was Deepika Padukone
taken into the TVC only to blow a few bubble gums
and bloat her eyes with awe on witnessing a transformed
guy, flaunting his fashionable signature?
Is that all a college youth, which this ad seems
to target, does in her revolutionary
days? What a waste of talent, Ad Pick must say.
The
TVC was launched with two bright thoughts
in mind, it seems; first, to establish the style
statement of the signature brand and
second, to announce the price tag of the same.
However, the real idea behind launching the TVC
remains quite vague. Thus, even if the TVC succeeds
at grabbing eyeballs during its first TV rounds,
it is sure to fail at hooking the audience time
and again.
Well,
the ad, created by JWT, definitely tried carrying
a lot of potential. However, it simply could not
live up to it.
Agency:
JWT
Production house: Corcoise Films
Running time: 40 seconds
ITV rating: * * *
