    RummyCircle launches TVC for online gamers

    MUMBAI: The wholly owned division of Play Games24x7, RummyCircle, has launched a new TVC encapsulating the thrill and excitement of playing the game of rummy online.

    The latest commercial is an immersive take on the action-packed nature of the game capturing the raw pleasure of competing and winning. Loaded with swag, special effects, it engages the viewer with high energy and unexpected turns.

    “Rummy is known to be a mind game and a family game, but most people don’t realize how exciting and charged a game of Rummy can be. That feeling is what we want the viewers to take away from this new TVC,” a company statement quoted Play Games24x7 co-founder and co-CEO Trivikraman Thampy saying.

    The TVC is made in five languages of English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada.

    Conceptualized by Publicis India, the TVC has Bobby Pawar as its chief creative officer and managing director, while the executive creative directors are Shyamashree D’Mello and Sanjay Sakharkar. The campaign, directed by Kunal Shivdasani, is produced by Virtual Reality Films. The post production has been done by Red Chillies.

    According to Thampy, “The best part about playing Rummy are those edge-of-the-seat moments when a player is almost done and is waiting with baited breath for the next card to be that one card he or she needs, and also desperately hoping that someone doesn’t finish before him or her. We wanted this TVC to capture that adrenaline rush and thrill in a symbolic way by comparing it to the kind of excitement one would feel if they were flying through the air with turbocharged booster jetpacks.”

    The protagonist in the campaign is an everyday, loveable character who demonstrates unbelievable daredevilry every time he plays on RummyCircle.com, D’Mello explained, adding that the audience will enjoy watching him revel in the heart-thumping, adrenaline-pumping feeling of winning at the end.

    The website offers 13 card rummy game on all devices with the most engaging interface and latest security features.

  • Amitabh Bachchan announced as the brand ambassador for Dr. Fixit

    Amitabh Bachchan announced as the brand ambassador for Dr. Fixit

    MUMBAI:  Pidilite unveiled legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan as the ambassador for its Dr. Fixit range of waterproofing products and solutions.  Bachchan, an icon of the silver screen, will spearhead Dr. Fixit’s flagship campaign and will act as its face across engagement platforms.

    The campaign featuring  Bachchan was rolled out on India’s 70th Independence Day with a multimedia campaign on digital, TV, retail activations, radio and outdoor.  As a pioneer and leader in water-proofing, Dr.Fixit aims to create awareness for pro-active water-proofing using modern methods at the beginning stage of building a new house.

    Dr. Fixit commercials are known and loved by audiences for their light sense of humor. The new campaign stays true to this approach, with  Bachchan bringing his own trademark style and wit to the TVC.

    The opening TVC features Bachchan playing himself and portraying a romantic, restless man living in a home that hasn’t been waterproofed and has 3 beautiful women as neighbors.  The TVC begins with Mr. Bachchan delivering a quixotic, Bollywood-style monologue, and wistfully thinking about his neighbors as water from their apartments leaks into his home. Then the TVC reveals a composed Mr. Bachchan wrapped up in a shawl who had been daydreaming about this fantasy. In reality, his wife had made sure that the house was waterproofed with Dr. Fixit at the construction stage itself. Thus, Mr. Bachchan’s feelings for his beautiful neighbors remain in his heart due to water-proofing by Dr. Fixit. 

    Mr. Vivek Sharma, Chief Marketing Officer, Pidilite Industries said, “Dr. Fixit is the market leader in water-proofing segment and it continues to play the role of creating the market for water-proofing using modern methods. This involves changing behavior of people through messages that are relevant, persuasive and delivered in a memorable way. Who other than Mr. Bachchan to deliver this convincingly, as he is not only loved and admired by all but also considered a person of immense credibility. ”

    Commenting on the campaign, Mr. Piyush Pandey, Executive Chairman and Creative director, South Asia, Ogilvy & Mather- says, “No matter what section of the society one comes from, when your home leaks, your feeling of helplessness is identical.  This campaign takes this insight and says it in a very entertaining fashion.  Dr. Fixit is the leader in the category like Mr. Bachchan is, in the world of cinema.  It’s a perfect jodi.  Prasoon Pandey has put together this story in a beautiful and persuasive manner, making the communication watchable again and again.””
