Nothing else could be as sweet and salty as the
latest Ad film by Shan Foods that has been introduced as a part of their Eid
campaign. Shan Foods, one of the leading recipe mix brands in Pakistan, will
now not only be remembered for producing all those spicy and delicious masalas being
found on our kitchen shelves but the brand shall also be celebrated for
introducing this awesome and emotionally packed TVC whose content has tugged at
the heartstrings of its viewers.
Living in an ad-age where our minds are being
constantly fed with bizarre dance moves or some senseless jingles promoting a
certain product, Shan Foods has come up with an inspiring creative that
emphasizes upon the cultural values of the human connection.
Apart from being brilliantly conceptualized and wonderfully
executed, following are a few other reasons, in my opinion, that has made this
advert a winning recipe on the Ad menu:
The
Emotional Roulette:
The newly-launched Shan Foods’ TVC is no less than
the emotional roulette that sets your feelings on a spin letting you experience
various shades of human emotion. Those living abroad can relate to the pain of
being away from home or from your loved ones (as shown in the TVC) while
siblings, on the other hand, are found to be relating themselves to the
brotherly affection found between two brothers.
And a lot many of us have almost cried too while
watching the ad film, not because we were being upset but for a reason that Alain de Botton defines well when he says;
“The moment we cry in a film is not when things
are sad but when they turn out to be more beautiful than we expected them to
be.”
How does it feel to be away from home on Eid
missing out on those delectable dishes being cooked by your mother and waiting
to be hugged and greeted by her - this
is being beautifully depicted in the TVC and being a hostelite myself, this
advert resonates with a part of me.
Jingle
Sells, Jingle Sells, Jingle All the Way!
“Woh Maula sab ki sunta hai, par
kisi kisi ko chunta hai . . . . . . .”
If not the whole jingle, I am sure I would be
remembering this part for it is not only being catchy and captivating but it also
lifts your mood at the same time. Jingle being played in #KhushiyanChakhLo TVC
carries a melodious tune that adds flavor to the story.
The
Paradigm Shift:
The advertisements being produced by Shan Foods
over all these years focused more on providing information about the product
rather than presenting emotional content or a story. Breaking its own rule this
time, Shan Foods released an emotional ad film, which turned out to be a huge
success gaining massive appreciation on the social media (as indicated in the
tweets below):

So we can win hearts without badly-written jingles and poorly choreographed dance performances! Thankyou #ShanFoods #KhushiyanChakhLo

The best use of 3 minutes by #ShanFoods in #KhushiyanChakhLo. No people dancing in fancy clothing. Or with overly full dastarkhwaans.
