I love the fact that Indian ads are going places... There was a time when our Ad-men, tried to grab customer attention by being the loudest, craziest or funniest. They tried Indian desipunn' (:)) or simply-roped in the celebrities and hoped for the best! But lately we are seeing some really neat ads- that our appreciated not just by our sense of humor but our intelligence too! These are smart ideas that are oh-so-bright, have loads of attitude and are kissingly simple! Not to forget refreshing and soooo cute!
Some on my favourite ads being currently aired are:
Vodafone's busy message caller tune- Simply cute and a lovely ad, this is an effective ad which passes the message- rock solid! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2O9ok9Fz2A
Vodafone's Happy to help- Its a awww chooo chweet ad that has given rise to some really nice forwards and has the famous dog in it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB1UPJ4leqs
Airtel broadband @ 16 mbps- Impatience is the new life! I lurve the copy in this ad. Has to be called brilliant. It defines today's youth precisely in their very-own-lingo! It has given Impatience a positive connotation in my mind- which is truly remarkable! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0vVIw81bws
The new Rin ad- where the kid turns at the older man who's smriking at him 'coz he's on a bicycle and says "do paiyon ka difference hain uncle; aa jayenge!" Is another of the ads I love. It's a supremely confident attitude that positively speaks "I'll be what I aspire to be!" Simply superb! (just cant find the link to it!)
Limca's 'Haseen Lamhon ko chura lo!' has become iconic in its freshness! It is so refreshing that a Non-Limca drinker like me is almost tempted to try the drink. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgT7ueACtxw
There is also Cadbury's Aaj ek tarik hain or Fruity's music ad, which is nicely done! Really fresh in idea and very Indian in concept!
I can go on and on... but I think I must stop now... Please share ads that you love and have been missed out by me! Would love to hear from you.

that rin ad sure is nothing short of brilliance... as for the vodafone thing... zoozoos during the IPL was a fantastic idea...no other ad sequences managed to keep everyone so hooked onto them, awaiting the next one... at least none that i know of in India...
as for the header... it just feels as if youve put a reflection of urself there... can't pinpoint why, but can just see you through it... :)
Oh yes zoozoo did create a revolution of their own; but those of us who aren't ardent cricket fans and didn't follow IPL closely; didn't feel as much... :)
As for the comment on my header- Thanx (I think)!!! :)
Don't think there is anything great about the Airtel ad. Totally agree when you talk about Hutch ads/
