Total Recall Advertising

Remember all those old loving sweet and cute ads...

Times Now covered a program on Total Recall Advertising covering some of the briliant ads from yesteryears. Whether it was David Whitbread of Ondia's fame (Neighbours envy, Owner's pride) to Lalitaji to Jab mein chota ladka thaa....it was fun going back to old good days. And then Masterji (Raju tumhar daant tu motiyon jaise chamak rahein hain) from Dabur Dant Manjan fame, TP Jain shared his experience of shooting in the ad and how even today when he went to US some one caught him and ran him through the complete ad.

The came Dam Laga ke ...Piyush Pandey's start in advertising career and how Munna Bhai's Director, Rajkumar Hirani featured in ads like Chal Meri Luna and Dam Laga ke haishaa..

Moving from early 80's it was time to move to 90's when liberalisation had started and how Kamasutra brought sexual revolution to India and heralding it was Pooja Bedi. ...Now the trivia that made me sit up and say - oh my god i didnt know that - Ayesha Takia and Shahid Kapoor were the actual Complan poster boy and girl and how Aftab featured in more than 100 advertisements in his childhood days..

Total Recall....A trip down the memory lane..
