Punjabis … the fun loving … the
brave … the loud … the flamboyant … the gourmets …
They are everything they are
shown on the celluloid … and they are everything that is not shown on the
celluloid.
Most of my memories of seeing a Punjabi
(read Sikh) person on the television or movies bring up the image of a turbaned
Sikh … always taking things lightly … loud cacophonous families … laughing
every time and anytime … being a little slow to understand things … and being
stupidly brave (pardon the outpour of sentiments). Rare is the sight when I get
to see a sensible portrayal of these. Even the much acclaimed Kabhi Khushi
Kabhi Gam and Jab We Met had such superficial, extrovert and jovial families.
And I have always wondered why …
But this father and son Chevrolet
advertisement has me all smiles … I love it … it captures the very essence of
relations … it has depth in it and touches the heart … it shows them as a
family … just like others … it covers their lives … their normal lives … and
with subtle hints to their bravery , their love for food … it talks of growing up … growing
apart and growing close.
I so love this ad … I am sharing
it across …
Enjoy it … I think you will like
it … ‘coz it is emotional … just like all of us J
yeah really emotional ad.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this Ruby :) I'm glad they included English subtitles, but I don't think they would have been needed, as the emotions felt are well understood in any language.
