Amul Wins Hearts With Cartoon on BCCI President-Elect Sourav Ganguly
The caption, in a cheesy twist to an old Hindi hit song from film "Taj Mahal" (1963) goes: "Dada (Ganguly) kiya to nibhana padega" (Ganguly has done it... so it's time he fulfilled it) with the punchline, "Butter Created Completely in India", denoting BCCI in a clever way.
New Delhi, October 17: Leading diary brand company Amul has won hearts with its latest cartoon-based advertisement on Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President-elect Sourav Ganguly. In its latest advertisement, Amul, known for its penchant for wordplay, featured Ganguly sitting on a chair, looking dapper in a suit and a tie and wearing his signature rimless glasses. The 47-year-old is seen to be enjoying a butter toast while the Amul girl is dressed in another blue suit and holding a bat in her hand.
