Stuge Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 A few days ago, bowler Harbhajan SinghÃÔ lawyers slapped a legal notice on Vijay MallyaÃÔ UB Group for the controversial ad mocking his look-alike. The liquor company withdrew the ad. However, theyÃÓe at it again and this time, the subject of ridicule is actor-producer Saif Ali Khan. A commercial by the same company spoofs a rival ad that ähote Nawab was featured in. The original ad-film featuring Saif shows him travelling in a glitzy limousine escorted by multiple security guards on bikes. He is shown walking the red carpet with a sea of flashlights on him. Towards the climax, the ad film shows him being chased by a group of fans, and ends with a rock concert where Saif is strumming the guitar. HeÃÔ shown thinking, Å©ave I made it large? Taking a dig at the commercial with Saif and the productÃÔ Ã®ake It Large tagline, the Mahendra Singh Dhoni commercial shows a lookalike of Saif, travelling in a similar limousine. HeÃÔ also shown strumming the guitar but at a wedding party, with a man flipping currency notes at him. Later, heÃÔ shown being pushed to the ground by a crowd, where he utters an expletive. His driver helps him stand up and tells him, while dusting off his suit, ìitna bhi bada kar lo sahab, rahoge to aap chote sahab na (Whatever you do, youÃÃl remain the junior)/quote] http://www.youtube.com/embed/MuHE_gQ3fEA http://www.hindustantimes.com/MS-Dhoni-takes-a-dig-at-Saif-Ali-Khan/H1-Article1-762426.aspx
achilles Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Some people (Mallya and Dhoni) just don't get the point that there is something called showing someone respect. Mallya - For acting like a tard a 2nd time in a row. Dhoni - The length's people go to make money.
Stuge Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 I feel that dhoni shot is done well before these are compiled and most likey Dhoni isn't even aware who they might take dig at .
Aaku Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Little ladiez getting offended.. man up!! :headshake:
Rajiv Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 10+ for creativity and humour - if u got balls, counter attack with an ad and that goes for everyone. P.S Dhoni is just an employee, not the creator or director

DomainK Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Ads mocking each other is an old thing. Products and celebrities should take it sportingly unless a certain line has been crossed. Mountain Dew made a life out of mocking Akshay Kumar. Whats the big deal?

Sachinism Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Indians are sensitive and are unable to laugh at themselves. When will people learn. Anyway poor ad anyway, there was no need for it.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 ad is in bad taste.Dhonl must umdtsynd that je is the captain of indian team.these ads dnt luk gud on him.
Yoda-esque Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Poor ad just from a mkting and branding standpoint. .Mallya is such an idiot....
asterix Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Dhoni is far above these cheap ads. He doesn't needs to do these type of ads..He's at a stage, he can easily pick and chose what ads to be done or not. You'll never find the Maharathis doing these type of ads, no matter how much the agency pays them..

Pagalpanti Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Not really funny, I liked the Harbhajan one more. More so because Harbhajan actually didn't make it large. :haha:
achilles Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 The ad, by itself, is kinda funny. The idea however is not. Like I had said before, you don't show how great you are by deriding someone. You do that by standing on your own.
surajmal Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 The ad' date=' by itself, is kinda funny. The idea however is not. Like I had said before, you don't show how great you are by deriding someone. You do that by standing on your own.[/quote'] why not. abstract notions such as "greatness" are pretty hard to quantify. So it would be hard to measure it in absolute terms. You may as well badmouth someone else, since the end result is the same. Saif ali khan is the biggest phony in this country anyway, so that that commercial has my full support. :two_thumbs_up:
