    In a humorous twist, Wahter has announced the launch of “Beer Flavored Wahter,” aiming to blend the love for beer with the necessity of hydration. With this quirky initiative, Wahter taps into the Indian sentiment for beer while emphasising the importance of staying hydrated, especially in warm weather conditions.

    In their recent LinkedIn post, Wahter has asked its customers to pre-book their bottles of Beer Flavored Water. However, there’s a surprise in store!

    Honey & Bunny are the OG Jholers. They might “borrow” your favourite hat (without asking), but they’ll always return it with a smile.

Throw on a funny mask, grab an unexpected outfit from your closet, or even borrow your sibling’s hat – the key is to surprise someone you love with a friendly scare and a good laugh.

    Learn sneaky surprises with Oggy:

    Think you’re good at hide and seek? Let’s put it to the test. Whether the cockroaches raid his fridge, or they draw on his face while he sleeps at night, Oggy always ends up getting a nasty surprise from his tiny rivals. This April Fools’ Day, turn the tables and hide some harmless fake bugs (spiders work too) around the house. When your friends or family least expect it, they’ll come face-to-face with a creepy crawler, sending them scrambling around swatting just like Oggy, all in good fun.

    Tune into Sony YAY! and celebrate April Fools’ Day with your favourite toons.

  • This April Fool’s Day, MTV says “The Joke Is on Us”!

    This April Fool’s Day, MTV says “The Joke Is on Us”!

    MUMBAI: Gives you “Mazak Ban Gayi Zindagi” feels, right? As we continue to share a hearty laughter on different jokes and memes all through the day, little do we realize, “The Joke is on Us”, courtesy- Society and its unreasonable expectations. And while we continue to be in the rat trap, MTV is here to remind us this April Fool’s Day that the joke’s on us, through a bone tickling yet an impactful brand film. 

    The April Fool’s Day brand film by MTV opens to a family setting and showcases a boy, who is passionate to learn guitar but is burdened by the gyaan of “Board exams aa rahe hain. Yeh ek saal focus karo, badmein toh aish hi hain.” The progression follows when he tries to pick up his hobby during his entrance exams, MBA preparation and Marriage. Finally, when the boy, all settled now, asks his parents “Lo ho gaya settle! Kya ab mein apni zindagi jee sakta hoon”, he is reminded of his current responsibilities as a father. 

    Relatable much.

    In a fine blend of quirk and impact, the film showcases the guitar as a symbol of joke that our life has been playing on us and unfortunately, there’s no escape from it. Towards the end of the film, we see the protagonist conditioning his baby in a similar fashion, which is a blatant reminder of how certain conventions are followed across generations.

    So, this April Fool’s Day, raise a toast with MTV and have a laugh for being the fools we never intended to be!
