Nostalgia: My Favorite Advertisements, Vol 1
Nowadays what’s irritating – Advertisements jumping in when we are about to watch our favorite shows. But, there was a time when we waited for our favorite Advertisements to come. They made us laugh, think and enjoy! No skip ads then!
Many of these iconic advertisements are still fresh in our memory! Time to relive those moments!
A mix of the Old Doordarshan, DD National, DD Metro days and the modern era!
Warning: Strong Nostalgia ahead! 😛
Doordarshan Signature tune
This defined the TV watching experience for me then! This was something special! Really really special!
1) Cadburys
The Old Cadbury’s ad during the Doordarshan days!
2) Nirma
‘Washing powder Nirma, Washing powder Nirma’ – A household ad for sure during those times!
3) Air Deccan
A wonderful ad featuring the legendary actor Murali!
4) M Seal
A serious situation, but the guy in the end saying ‘Babaaa’ made me laugh all the time!
5) Centerfresh
5 in 1 😛
6) Bajaj
“Hamara Bajaj”

Easily erasable 😛

A slap to all those fairness ads 😀

Dhadhoo – ‘Dimag Ki Batti Jala De’
10) Action
School time, Action ka School time!
11) Complan
‘I am a Complan Girl, I am a Complan Boy’
12) Ajanta Clocks
Love the Old Grandma in this!
13) Pepsi
Just one name – SACHIN!
14) Vicks
‘Vicks ki goli lo khich khich door karo!’
15) Fevikwik
A regular during the Cricket telecasting days!

Doodh hain wonderful! 😛 Another catchy one!
Being in Kerala during Childhood, we were used to Malayalam dubbed Advertisements which were super special to me then! Will try to share them soon 😀

Those days were the best! It’s difficult to point out any ad as favourite…most of these ads are close to my heart. Fevikwik ad made me laugh so much..I used to wait to see that ad. Diary Milk ad is always special but the one posted here does not show the girl in a floral dress dancing in the cricket stadium. That was the best part! Both these ads(Diary Milk and Fevikwik) were frequently shown during a world cup.I remember very well..Nirma ad is also special but I think of Azzaruhdin cheating on his wife whenever I see it.The Vicks ad – the girl winking is just 👌Look at the virus in the throat..it looks like Corona 😜 I am surprised that I have never seen the Air Deccan Ad. How did I miss it 🤔Anyway, good job compiling these Prakash👏

Thanks Gayathri😊 nice to see your thoughts on it! Infact, barring few, the ads nowadays aren’t as memorable as those golden times! …there are many I could v missed, the girl dancing on the stadium- yes, true, but I posted the earlier version😁

Superb compilation prak👏🏻👏🏻… Those were definitely the golden era of television… The serials then were far more superior than the rubbish they show now… My fave is the Hamara Bajaj song… And also the dairy milk ad where the girl dances at the cricket stadium… U definitely brought a smile on my face today… Thanks for that buddy
