A good advertisement always entices viewers to buy a specific product. Their on-screen presentation attracts the viewers. When the televisions made its way into homes, viewers were enchanted by many ads way back in the 80s and 90s. Many of the old advertisements became iconic. The unforgettable jingles and remarkable storytelling were the hallmark of those advertisements.
Who can forget the Lalitaji Surf ad, and the Rasna girl? Indeed, those days are over. But we still love those ads. We can happily sit and watch those iconic TV commercials. They always managed to bring a smile to our faces.
Take your seat as it’s time to be nostalgic.
