Oh God, this is both incredibly lame and deeply disingenuous :( To reiterate, 'Butterly' by Amul was NOT a typo. It was a creative choice and very deliberate. The claim that it was a 'typo' is misleading and is disinformation.

Same headline across both print ad designs in The Hindu and The Times of India, and yet there's a glaringly obvious typo in only one. How did the agency manage to miss (or add) the typo, I wonder!

"Achcha Kiya Insurance Liya" = "Mutual Funds Sahi Hai"! Both campaigns are being driven by industry bodies, not individual brands/companies: Association of Mutual Funds in India and General Insurance Council of India. 1/3

Very well-thought-out name for the operation! It links back to a painful, recent memory, and emotionally connects Indian people in a process that most will only see and hear from a distance.

"The abuse she faced was swift, vicious, and deeply personal — an avalanche of hate disguised as public opinion. Her grace under grief didn’t fit the script that many expected, and for that, she was vilified. Social media algorithms thrive on outrage, and we feed them with every comment and share".

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Finance Minister C. Subramaniam could have imposed demonetisation with a 8pm Doordarshan broadcast, changed goal posts for the next 3 months, and doubled down on laughing at people's misery, no?

Brilliant work by the agency Manja, for Urban Company's Native RO, using 'Lambi Judaai' to hilarious effect and perfect context, in service of the product promise! I burst out laughing at Dadaji's over-the-top crying while drinking water, and the kid delivering the product pitch while crying 😂

Manipur is the pit in which all of Modi, BJP, and RSS's bravado goes and dies. Shameful, complicit, and disgraceful two years and running. And less said about us, the people, the better, since we conveniently choose to look the other way to BJP's immoral excesses in the State.

"To make it to India's top 10% income earners, one must earn just Rs. 2.9 lakh a year. To enter the top 1%, Rs. 20.7 lakh will suffice. Wealth paints a similar picture. Accumulate Rs. 21 lakh in net assets, and one is now a 10-percenter. Accumulate Rs. 82 lakh and one is in the 1%."

At this point, I really hope that it is Parle itself that is behind all this effort to accentuate the annoyance and irritation from their new Marie ads, including this browser extension. That would make for a fantastic twist and a stupendously counterintuitive official campaign 😁
