Favourite Ads From The 80s - Part 2











I couldn't find the Nirma ad...Who can forget the lyrics -
Washing powder Nirma.
Doodh-si safedi Nirma se Aaye.
Rangeen kapda bhi khil-khil jaaye.
Sub ki pasand Nirma!
Washing powder Nirma,
Washing powder Nirma. NIRMA!!

I think this will be the last of my nostalgic posts...
All these ads are taught in marketing schools because of their recall value...

The adverts bring back memories of long lost years. .
Love these ones too, Bones.

Udaan's Lalitaji. We used to go 'hain hain hain' along with Lijjat Papad's Rabbit.

That is Ishita Arun (Ila Arun's daughter) in Vicks commercial.

Aaaah! the nostalgia.

Ishita Arun is all grown up now and is an actress...
nostalgia galore:)
and the complete Nirma lyrics:)
the NIRMA! at the end added the touch:)

my fav like Solilo's was the lijjat papad one:)
I also used to do make the sounds alongwith the rabbit:D
The Vicco Turmeric ad is back in theatres! And it' so funny to watch it in present day context.

I'm running out of ideas!
There was also a Thums Ad which I liked - 'Happy days are here again, Thums Up Thums Up...' Do you remember it?
Great collection once again, Sraboney...brought back memories...Kavita Ji after a long time! There was one on Hajmola too... "Hajmola Sir"
Nirma, Lijjat et.al are all , ad is timeless. :)
