February 11, 2019 by Karthik S

This was a thoroughly engaging branded film by Paisabazaar. It got me curious in the beginning when they added that small twist of the groom’s brother being mute. And his insistence that the groom be his voice for his speech – very…

A father’s gift to his daughter, on the day of her wedding

February 8, 2019 by Karthik S

Before watching this 2-minute film, I had no clue about the existence of BRAC, or knew that it was the world’s largest NGO (by the number of employees). I saw the film a few days ago and thought it was well conceived….

The winner of the 2019 Super Bowl (blah) advertising spectacle: corn syrup!

Baba Ramdev’s next, after Kimbho – a PUBG-style mobile multiplayer game?

February 1, 2019 by Karthik S
