A new Amul topical has become the talk of the town. This one is a take on Akshay Kumar's recently released film, Mission Mangal. 'Mission Makhan', the topical makes a pun on the movie's title, which is quite funny, we must say. Akshay's cartoonised avatar also looks cute.
Amul always comes up with unique ways to keep the brand in news. One of the creative routes that the brand takes is making cartoonish topical ads. Their recent take is on the recently released film, Mission Mangal. The movie stars Vidya Balan, Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari in key roles. It is based on India's Mars Orbiter Mission. Amul's topical puns, 'Mission Makhan'. And of course, there is a cartoonised Akshay Kumar on the ad with the Amul girl. BTW, the Amul topicals completed 25 years this year. Rahul da Cunha, Manish Jhaveri and Jayant Rane are the men who have kept the party going. Though, they might have wanted to include the ladies from the film on the ad as well. Amul Celebrates Amitabh Bachchan's 50 Years In Bollywod With This Amazing Doodle (See Picture).
Talking about Mission Mangal, our in-house film critic, Sreeju Sudhakaran wrote in his review, "Mission Mangal doesn't have the layered texture of Hidden Figures nor the complexity of First Man. Instead, it relies on many of its heartwarming moments and an adorable cast to propel the film ahead, and ends up being an engaging watch. The movie may not land on Mars, but it does meet halfway when it comes to our expectations," Well, if you have not watched the movie yet, we'd recommend you do it while the movie is running in theatres.
