    BIG FM concludes its campaign ‘Jal Andolan – Desh Ne Thaani Not to Waste Paani’

    Mumbai: In response to the escalating global water crisis, BIG FM, one of India’s leading radio networks, successfully concluded its purpose-led initiative ‘Jal Andolan – Desh Ne Thaani Not to Waste Paani’, aimed to raise awareness about responsible water usage. Responding to soaring temperatures aggravating water shortages across major Indian cities this summer, the campaign garnered significant support from celebrities, government authorities, activists, communities and NGOs.

    Through this campaign, BIG FM also rolled out the ‘Jal Daan’ initiative, encouraging individuals to curb their water usage. The collected water was then distributed across various locations in Delhi and NCR regions with the help of water tankers. In addition to on-air initiatives, the campaign featured on-ground activities such as cleaning nearby water bodies, conducting awareness programs at malls, holding discussions with experts in schools and colleges and organizing painting, slogan writing competitions across all BIG FM stations.

    The highly impactful campaign drew the attention of the Jal Shakti Department, with secretary Debashree Mukherjee IAS expressing her appreciation for the cause. Celebrities including Manoj Bajpayee, Divya Dutta, Raghuvir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Mini Mathur, Alka Yagnik and Anuradha Podwal supported the initiative by sharing how they are individually contributing to water conservation. Activists like Dr Rajendra Singh (The River Man of India), Sunanda Tai, Peepal Baba from the Give Me Trees Trust and Padma Shri Ganesh K. Mani showed their solidarity with the cause through audio and video messages. Additionally, listeners also shared their Jal Warrior stories on air by reaching out directly to BIG FM RJs or through their social media handles, detailing how they are saving water in their daily lives.

    BIG FM COO Sunil Kumaran shared his views on the campaign, stating, “The need for water is perpetual for all. As demand rises and the population grows, conserving not only water but all natural resources has become crucial. Through ‘Jal Andolan,’ we aimed to further emphasize the importance of mindful water consumption and thereby the needs for its conservation. I would like to extend my gratitude towards all the dignitaries who supported this initiative; their influence is vital in fostering a healthier environment for those without access to fresh water.”

    ‘Jal Andolan’ concluded in Delhi with ‘Jal Daan,’ encouraging people to save water by using a bucket instead of taking a shower, not washing their car and reusing RO wastewater for household chores. Approximately 50,000 litres of water was distributed to water-scarce areas in Delhi by BIG FM RJs – RJ Khurafati Nitin, RJ Akriti and RJ Yogi — with the support of Delhi Police, various listeners and communities.

  • Poonam Wahi Films & Lowe Lintas collab with Dollar Industries Ltd for their latest campaign

    Poonam Wahi Films & Lowe Lintas collab with Dollar Industries Ltd for their latest campaign

    Mumbai: Poonam Wahi Films is proud to have collaborated with Lowe Lintas and Dollar Industries Ltd on their latest campaign, “Welcoming Monsoon Without Hesitation”. The film, directed by renowned director Arko Provo Bose, is a visually stunning recreation of a 16th century Mughal era setting, with a modern twist.

    The campaign takes viewers on a journey through time, transporting them to the majestic courtyard of emperor Akbar’s court, where the famous musician Miyan Tansen sings his timeless raga, “Miyan Ki Malhar”, to invoke the monsoon rains. As the rains pour down, the emperor’s family and their guests slip on their raincoats, courtesy of Dollar Industries Limited’s latest rainwear collection.

    The campaign aims to promote Dollar Industries Ltd’s new range of rainwear as a fashion statement, rather than just a functional product. The film’s blend of historical accuracy and modern flair is a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation and style.

    According to producer Poonam Wahi, “Dollar Rain guard ad centers’ around a humorous yet relatable concept. The ad is a perfect example of how a cohesive team, a well-crafted script, and a supportive client can come together to produce a successful and impactful commercial. The project involved seamlessly integrating various elements — script, casting, location, direction, and post-production — to create an ad that is both entertaining and informative.”

    Director Arko Provo Bose added, “Handing a period piece is always a challenge. The idea was to not blatantly shoot it like a spoof. In a country which swivels between Mughal-e-azam and Jodha Akbar, finding the middle path was a task that the team was ready to take on. Overcast skies did spoil the party for a bit on shoot day but overall it came off great, thanks to some proper post production. A truly humorous script from the agency, freedom to execute it my way and some able production helming the project led to this hilarious piece.”

    Lowe Lintas creative director Mohit Pasricha, praises Poonam Wahi Films’ professionalism: “As a creative, all you need from a production house is for them to stand by you and provide the best possible support in terms of product quality, logistics, and timelines – that’s everything PWF brought to the table. Though they’re new on the block as a unit, they are hardcore advertising and production professionals. It turned out to be a smooth run in the rain with them. My thanks and best wishes to them for their future projects.”

    With Poonam Wahi Films’ captivating storytelling and Dollar Industries Ltd’s latest rainwear collection, get ready to welcome the monsoon without hesitation.

Being a part of the Born Original campaign was a very organic collaboration for me personally, and I’m thrilled to be representing Callebaut Born Original in India & Asia.”

    Barry Callebaut Cocoa and Chocolate Ingredients, India MD Dhruva Jyoti Sanyal emphasized the significance of supporting chefs in their creative endeavours, especially in challenging times. “Every artisan and chef strives to differentiate themselves and create delights that excite customers. However, they face numerous challenges, such as changing consumer behaviors, market fluctuations, and intense competition. By collaborating with Chef Vinesh Johny, we feel the message will be delivered to our end consumers and create an impact correctly. As chocolate rises in India and the region emerges as the future of chocolate, we stand by our chefs as a steadfast partner, providing the original chocolate they can count on to pursue their passion.”

    Prime Video celebrates Father’s Day with a heartfelt campaign

    Mumbai: Prime Video has launched a fun video to celebrate International Father’s Day. In a tongue-in-cheek manner, the film brings to life one of the most common habits of dads across India – falling asleep in front of the TV! Featuring celebrated singer Shaan, singing a melodious lullaby for fathers watching TV and struggling to keep their eyes open because of a long day, the film uses humour to encourage fathers to take a break, snooze and enjoy their favourite Prime Video shows another day!

    In the film, Shaan through his magical lullaby reaches out to every type of dad, from the middle-aged, overworked father, the exhausted new, millennial dad, to the elderly grandfather, each one wanting to nap but not wanting to miss out on family time when watching Prime Video. Only the men can see and hear Shaan, and his soothing lullaby comprising of their favourite shows and characters from Prime Video, eventually leads to a tug of war between the need to sleep and the need to watch the next scene with family. But are the dads able to overcome their age-old habit of falling asleep in front of the TV or does nature finally take its course?
