I am back to crib about another advertisement. This time one on the radio. I wonder if you have heard that cheeky ad in which a family friend calls on the landline number of a friend couple. Their child who sounds anywhere from 8-11 picks up the phone. I don't remember the exact words but the conversation goes something like:
Adult: Hello
Child: Hello
Adult: Beta, papa ghar par hain?
Child(mimicking the adult): Beta, papa ghar par hain?
Adult: Kya?
Child: Kya?
Adult(getting a bit worked up): Beta, mummy ya papa ghar par hain?
Child (in exactly the same tone): Beta, mummy ya papa ghar par hain?
Adult(gathering patience): Beta?
Child(in the same tone): Beta?
Adult (Angry) : Beta?
Child (mock-anger): Beta?
Tag line: "Looks like some one is still not back from their Zen Estilo test drive"
Now the Adult and the Child on the phone were really good actors. They conveyed a lot through their expressions. But other than that rest all is awful.
Child is awfully rude. Moreover, what were his parents thinking leaving such a rude child behind alone? What if he burns the house down in their absence. How irresponsible?
I wonder what irresponsible parents, rude children, and hapless callers have to do with Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo. Interesting...
