AI adds a pinch of emotion to Fortune’s home-cooked Diwali story

MUMBAI: This Diwali, Fortune isn’t just stirring pots, it’s stirring hearts. In a season when most ads sparkle with gloss and glamour, the brand has chosen a different recipe: a heartwarming, AI-powered homecoming that celebrates the soul of ‘Ghar Ka Khana’.

India’s most loved food and kitchen staples brand, Fortune from AWL Agri Business ltd (formerly Adani Wilmar Ltd) has launched a two-fold digital campaign that uses artificial intelligence to turn festive emotion into moving imagery. The result is an evocative story that captures what Diwali truly tastes like, not the click of a delivery app, but the clatter of pots and laughter around a family table.

At the centre of the campaign is an AI-generated film that contrasts the convenience of the fast-paced modern world with the warmth of home-cooked food. It follows a young man who leaves behind his takeaway meals and train food trays to return home for Diwali, rediscovering the love that simmers in his mother’s kitchen. As she prepares traditional delicacies, the son’s quiet journey home unfolds into an emotional reunion, a moment that beautifully serves up the campaign’s message: ‘Iss Diwali, Fortune wale hai woh jo Ghar Ka Khana Khayenge’.

Visually rich and emotionally resonant, the film uses generative AI to create hyperreal scenes from bustling cityscapes to glowing diyas blending futuristic tech with timeless emotion. It’s a modern retelling of an age-old truth: that no matter how advanced our gadgets get, nothing beats the comfort of food made by someone who loves you.

“Diwali is more than lights and sweets. It’s a pause that reconnects us to home, family and food made with love,” said AWL Agri Business Ltd joint president for sales & marketing Mukesh Mishra. “Through our AI-led storytelling, we’ve tried to blend technology with emotion, creating a campaign that’s both nostalgic and forward-looking. This is our invitation to India to pause, come home and rediscover the joy of ‘Ghar Ka Khana’.”

But Fortune doesn’t stop at film. The brand has also cooked up an AI-powered interactive greeting generator, adding a playful twist to festive sharing. Users can upload their photos, choose their favourite festive treats from Karanji and Malpua to Mathri and Muruku and watch them transform into animated, glowing Fortune Diwali postcards ready to be shared across social media.

By turning memories into motion and nostalgia into pixels, Fortune’s campaign bridges tradition and technology with surprising ease. It’s a reminder that while AI can replicate almost everything, the warmth of home-cooked food remains inimitable.

This Diwali, Fortune’s message is clear, the most precious gift you can unwrap isn’t delivered to your door; it’s waiting in your kitchen
