What If These 10 Classic Bollywood Movies Were Actually Ads

Bombarded with advertisements almost everywhere we lay our eyes on, it is only natural to look at a movie and wonder what this movie is endorsing. After taking a look at some of the most iconic movies of our industry, we found out that there indeed is a possibility to associate them to advertise some product or a service. Take a look for yourself.

1. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge – Running Shoes

If your boyfriend is too cheap to pull the chain and pay a fine of Rs 1000, and your father is a prick, you’d better have a great pair of running shoes to get what you always wanted when the time comes.

 

2. Darr – Dating App

If only did the obsessed lover boy had a dating app installed on his phone, he could just swipe right at every girl whose profile would suggest they’re into talking to their dead parents over a disconnected land phone or totally into men with a stammering problem.

 

3. Satte Pe Satta – Men’s Apparel

It’s not just us but the popular men’s ethnic wear brand,  Manyavar thinks on our lines too. You take a bunch of hooligans who love to live like cavemen, clean and dress them up in proper man’s clothing and they’re suddenly beyond recognition. Have a look.

 

4. Sholay – Radio Taxi Service

It took too long for Veeru to reach Gabbar’s spot because there was only one Tanga in the entire village and that was broken down too, thanks to all that chase. Ramgarh badly needed a Taxi service and that’s what the movie was all about.

 

5. 3 Idiots – Career Counselling

To take the minds of the mass out of the herd mentality and establish the significance of career counselling as a service, nothing could work better as the satirical yet entertaining and illustrative plot-line of the 2009 blockbuster, 3 Idiots.

 

6. Wake Up Sid – Automatic Egg Poacher

Sid goes through a roller coaster ride of emotions and struggle, only to finally learn how to poach an egg. Therefore, Wake Up Sid might as well have been a two hour commercial of an automatic egg poacher.

 

 7. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam – High Resolution Camera Phone

Finding Sameer wouldn’t have turned into Finding Nemo for Nandini had she bought a good camera phone, clicked her bae’s picture and forwarded it to her husband so that they could find him easily and enjoy Italy together and also click pictures while at it.

 

8. The Lunchbox – Online Food Order

If you don’t want your wife to find out that you’re no good for her and move to Bhutan with or without that random dude who eats your tiffin, always choose wisely when it comes to online food delivery services.

 

9. Ghajini – Tattoo Removal

When it’s time to get rid of those ugly tattoos all over your body, you’d need an expert tattoo removal service or else you’d keep dialing those tattooed phone numbers and calling up dead people you killed yourself – you’re amnesiac, remember?

 

10. Dil Toh Pagal Hai – Dance Classes

The entire movie shows how fun life can be as a part of a dance troupe. Dance institutions are more than eager to have you onboard, provided you’re the one running down the lush, green meadows in white salwar in the dreams of the dance troupe leader.

Wonder if the ad gurus of India were behind the scripts of all these movies!
