Fair and Lovely - How much do you believe on its claim ???

Since childhood I have been watching advertisements of Fair and Lovely. Models are changing but the claim of Fair and Lovely is not changing. The objective of its advertisement is to attract customers who are not looked fair i.e. customers who have a bit dark complexion.


The company knows that Indians are always interested in girls who have fair complexion. Dark complexion girls always face hardship to get a better husband. They have been listening adverse comments on their complexion and body colours from neighbours, school mates, sisters and relatives also. Even sometimes their guardians are sceptical , how the marriage of their daughter will be accomplished !! No good boy would prefer their daughter.


Among these problems , if an advertisement claims that it would bring fairness among those ladies, one can imagine how girls get crazy about their fairness treatment. They just forget about their education and goals , and they just keep themselves busy on improving the geography of their faces. They believe , the cream, will not only start to give compliments from boy and uncles , but also it will increase their negotiation from a prospective candidate of her future husband. In order to get a better face they just purchase at least 6 to 10 tubes and it will just impact on the revenue of the company.


We all know.. our governments knows ... consumer protection council knows ..... a coal can never be white. Our original colour of skin can never change whatever you do. But every body has closed their eyes and we are allowing the company to sell their products on unverified claims. A cream is made up of chemicals and chemicals can never be skin friendly. But people do not think and they just purchase purchase and purchase.


I was seeing an advertisement ... FAIR AND LOVELY FAIRNESS TREATMENT... now a days a frequent advertisement. A father wants that his young girl should marry but the girl insists on getting a job , get financial independence , wealthy , own house etc etc after which she can get a husband of equal status. Father is shown confused .... but her mother seems to be very happy. The advertiser focus on the face of girl's mother who is the representative of all Indian ladies beyond 45 years of age who have younger daughter going to colleges , universities, or on job. If this lady in the advertisement is shown happy and satisfied, it gives a subconscious effect on women of India. Now can anybody explain me... what is the role of Fair and Lovely ..... The cream seller wants to tell ... The girl got confidence because she used FAIR AND LOVELY FAIRNESS TREATMENT. ..... Do you really believe.?


Consumers need to ask the company to prove their claim. This hard question must reach to the company. It is just taking money from the pockets of the common middleclass citizen. The company has to disclose the results of experiments before public.


Now we have FAIR AND HANDSOME.. will talk on it .. later on!!

Anti Corruption Advertisement by WBSTEDCL

After Bula Di , Now we have Bidyut Babu !!. Before 4 years, AIDS awareness campaign was started by Government of West Bengal through a cartoon Character naming Bula Di ( Di means Madam in Bengali). The government started helped lines in which any body can call to Bula di to get an understanding about HIV and AIDS.


Now, West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited has come up with an advertisement in newspaper on December 14,2014 to curb corruption. Through a Cartoon Character, BIDYUT BABU it has given a message " Never bribe for new connection"


This advertisement creates an awareness among citizens about anti bribery and anti corruption. It sets an example for other Electricity Companies and companies doing essential goods / services  in India to start anti corruption campaign.


Off late, Foreign companies must be eyeing on initiating Electricity distribution / generation business in India considering its scope and coverage. Better for an existing company to initiate its anti corruption measures.


The advertisement publishes the objective of the company and also requests APL and BPL customers should not pay bribe to anyone for new connection and if any person asks for money or bribe should immediately report to nearest Customer Care Centre.


Its an effective advertisement for pervade anti corruption

Women Love Dots

New Advertisement of Skore Condoms shows three young  ladies wearing bikinis on a swimming pool. Their clothes have dots .. . The Advertiser speaks in the back ground at the end of the advertisement.. women like dots.

Where ??

dots on bras or dots on condoms............. ???

If you wear a dotted condom , women will like it. Even an old advertisement of Kama Sutra used to say.. dotted condoms for extra pleasure.....

The company is not selling contraceptive but a sex product. The object of condom should be birth control , but businessmen forget ethics ... they show young ladies like they are ready to be fucked by anybody who carries skore condoms in their pocket.  Women like dots hence they wear those bras in which there is a design of dots......

Dotted condoms may create pleasure..but does advertiser guarantees that after ten fifteen intercourse , the inner walls of vaginas of women will not be damaged. Those ladies after that may suffer but may not know the exact reason of their suffering. Somethings are good in natural ways. The desire of more joy and pleasure brings more sufferings.

Online Adveritising gets cheaper

Now a common man , Small businessman can also sell his unwanted domestic articles. In Mumbai , Bangalore, Hyderabad , Ahmedabad like cities, people frequently change their jobs and sometimes their cities also. In hurry they have to dispose of everything. Quikr.com, Olx.in etc are now a days very popular to sell these things. Similary, people are interested to buy second hand car, refrigerator, bed ,sofa etc.. at fair price , these online portals are of great help. If somebody knows that people are selling their domestic items due to problems in shifting , they get better negotiated prices.

Olx.in was the premiere website but people did not know about it. But for last two years users have moved to this site and almost everything is available at Olx.in. It does not charge anything.

Similarly Quikr.com has started their advertising campaign and hired " Bob Biswas" of the movie "Kahani".

In times of rising prices, these portals are a good alternative for middle class citizens

New advertisements & Old Hindi Songs

One of the qualities of old Hindi cinema songs is, their lyrics were well drafted and suitable for common man singing abilities. Even Indian advertisements specially TV advertisements take maximum advantage of the words of old Hindi songs to promote company's products.

One of the latest example is :



MAX , an insurance company, is currently showing an advertisement which contains the words of very famous songs picturised on Johny Walker in one of the oldest classics movies " Pyaasa". The lines of the songs are

"Sir jo tera chakraye, yaa dil duba jaye,
Aaja pyare paas hamare , Kahe ghabraye, Kahe Ghabraye"

The advertisement gives a message to Indians, don't be afraid , purchase Insurance Policies....... 

"Hawa Badlegi" from Havells

Advertisement consultant of Havells have found new instruments to cement electrical products sold by the company. These advertisements have indirect meaning to promote company's product and directly to spread the message of  social change in India. The advertisement has tried to change social indiscrimination in India present from centuries. One advertisement has adopted  "Social Equality" to promote company's product while the other has got " Gender Equality " to link it with company's product quality.

In one of the advertisements a maid served food on the dining table of a family after which she was requested to sit on the family head's chair and was praised for the quality of food which she made. One of the family members offer a plate to her and praised by saying " Sabzi Achi bani hai". It never happens at least in India society. If it happens by chance, it certainly means " Hawa badeli" ( Direction of wind will change) . Seeing the advertisement and the face of maid , everybody has to appreciate the sense of advertiser. The advertisement touches the heart of million Indians.  I am sure , atleast one hundred of the advertisement viewers will sit at least once with their servant and eat. I remember an incidence, we had one servant who used to bring water and clean cooking utensils for us. One day we offered him a lunch and told him to sit with us , he hesitated a lot but finally ate with us. The same hesitation I saw on the face of the maid in the advertisement. So this story happens somewhere and will happen again in India. But I have a question " does the CEO , MD etc of Havells follow their own advertisement?" At least their families should also sit with their maid/servant  and eat food. They are not only selling their products, they are changing society. So first change should be at home.

Another advertisement , more interesting. In the office of marriage registrar , a husband proposes to change his surname and adopts the surname of his wife " Pundit" after the marriage. The husband clarifies that his bride will not change the surname , however he will. I think the advertisement does not aim on changing the surname of males at the time of marriage, it aims to give more respect to females. If males adopt surname of his wife , that bring "Gender equality". Our society is " Purush Pradhan" (male dominant) and the advertisement has found centuries old orthodox convention in the society to change. So, this is about change in the society.

The first advertisement seems to be ok, however if we look at the male model of second advertisement, he looks funny. He requests in a way that he is getting married after a great effort and wants to make his wife happy. The advertiser could take some other model to make this advertisement more serious , but he choses to include some element of fun. 

Indians society will change or not , nobody knows. However, the fans of Havells are now establised product in Indian market.
