Last year during Ganapati Festival, Big Bazaar initiated Shubh Shuruaat campaign, which became very popular. Thus, the brand decided to extend it further and as a result Paper Patakha came into existence. The ad was first rolled on HotStar, and went live on Big Bazaar’s YouTube channel in mid-October. The film for Diwali sans fireworks has been conceptualised by DDB Mudra West.
The ad film received lots of appreciation and bagged 821,934 hits on YouTube. This week, when we asked Pinaki Bose, Director, Light Bulb Motion Pictures, about his favourite ad film. He recalled this Big Bazaar’s Paper Patakha advertisement.
