  • Caratlane makes a Pujo proposal with a love story set to Rabindra Sangeet

    Caratlane makes a Pujo proposal with a love story set to Rabindra Sangeet

    MUMBAI: When love meets Pujo, sparks fly louder than dhak beats. Caratlane has dropped a new festive film that transforms Durga Puja into the most romantic stage for a proposal, complete with sindoor, Rabindra Sangeet, and one unforgettable ring.

    The campaign, titled ‘Maayer Aashirbaad’, is conceptualised by BBH India and directed by award-winning filmmaker Bauddhayan Mukherji of Little Lamb Films. At its core is Caratlane’s elegant proposal ring, unveiled as the ultimate symbol of commitment, timed to match the emotional crescendo of Bengal’s grandest celebration.

    Music drives the entire storytelling. Composed by Debojyoti Mishra, the score is a soul-stirring medley that blends timeless Rabindra Sangeet with earthy folk melodies. Sung by Mekhla Dasgupta and Chirantan Banerjee, the tracks double as dialogue, with lyrics becoming playful exchanges between the protagonists, actors Ayoshi Talukdar and Subhrojit Saha. Their chemistry carries the love story from Shoshthi to Doshomi, across iconic moments like Anjali, Dhunuchi Naach, and Bhog.

    The film reaches its high point during Doshomi’s sindoor khela, where the male lead drops down on one knee in a cinematic proposal. The ring gleams not just as jewellery but as a promise rooted in tradition yet charged with spontaneity. It’s the kind of moment that lingers, much like the colours of Pujo itself.

    For BBH India, CCO Parikshit Bhattacharya the festival was always a love story waiting to be framed. “Durga Pujo is already about romance, rituals, and memories. We wanted to set one more love story against that backdrop,” he said, emphasising how cultural truths create deeper brand narratives.

    Caratlane MD Saumen Bhaumik echoed that sentiment, noting that proposals are “matters of the heart free flowing, spontaneous, like a melody.” By weaving music, ritual and romance, the campaign aims to move beyond standard jewellery ads into something more heartfelt and enduring.

    With its lush visuals, rich soundscape, and a story that plays out as much in the heart as on screen, Maayer Aashirbaad isn’t just a campaign, it’s a proposal wrapped in the colours, chaos, and cadences of Pujo itself.

    Ogilvy creative for HUL’s Start A Little Good initiative

    MUMBAI: Promoting ‘Start a Little Good’, the CSR initiative of Hindustan Unilever Ltd, Ogilvy Mumbai has created a thought-provoking film centred on water conservation.

    Produced by Little Lamb Films, the film opens on an urban shower booth in the middle of a rural village. A villager steps inside out of curiosity. He turns on the shower and to everyone’s surprise, he starts drinking the water to quench his thirst instead of taking a bath. One by one, all the villagers queue up to drink water from the shower. The juxtaposition thus beautifully highlights the value of water and the need to conserve it.

    Ogilvy India vice chairman and group CCO Sonal Dabral said, “When a powerful initiative, like ‘Start A Little Good’, meets a fresh creative thought, the result is pure magic. ‘The Shower’ is a great example of the impact cut-through creativity can have in promoting critical issues like water conservation. Kudos to HUL for all the work they are doing in this area to help improve the lives of millions across India. Proud of our teams at Ogilvy for creating this brilliant moving evocative piece of work.”

    Ogilvy India (West) chief creative officers Kainaz Karmakar and Harshad Rajadhyaksha noted, “Unless we understand the value of water, we will not be motivated to save it. This is the simple insight we had when we started to think of this film. From there came the idea of taking a city shower into a village and showing how almost half a village can drink water, in the time it takes one city dweller to take a shower. If the film punches our conscience, it is meant to. The society needs a mirror to see its behaviour and the film is holding up that mirror.”
