Story Board of the ad
The latest communication revolves around the idea of intense craving for Maaza- ‘Aam Ki Pyas’. The film portrays a character who is obsessed with mangoes. He feels betrayed by his mango tree that doesn’t give him his favorite fruits off season. He repeatedly calls fruit vendors late at night and keeps asking the same question much to their irritation, “Have mangoes arrived yet?” He hears the word ‘Aam’ (i.e. Mango) in every other conversation. His wife and son are pretty used to this but wonder if there’s anything that can cure his intense thirst for mangoes. The son has a brainwave and introduces his father to Maaza, who after drinking Maaza experiences his life’s most delicious mango experience. So much so that his preference changes to drinking a Mango (Maaza) rather than eating it -‘Maaza Lao Aam Ki Pyaas Bujhao’.
