crude ads
rkusenet
The ones I remember
Rajdoot motorcyle - Dharmendra telling "rajdoot savaari - ek jaandar savari ek shaandaar
savari".
Indana Desi ghee - Dara Singh and Jalal Agha - At the airport with JA as the customs officer
and DS as the person who is returning from abroad. really crude ad.
V
I won't know if this was ever aired on National TV, but it did play on
Lucknow Doordarshan for a while. The ad was for a soap. PSM. This is
how it goes, the lady singing this without any melody.
Kapde Dhone ka sabun PSM.
PSM
Haan Ji PSM.
P......S.......M.

The other one... from Dabur Lal dant manjan.
Raju, tumhare daant to motiyon jaise chamak rahe hein,
Kyon na ho masterji, Main dabur ka laal dant manjan jo lagata hoon.
Par master Ji, aapke daant?
###########################################
I really liked the bajaj ad
Jab main chhota ladka tha.
Badi Shararat karta tha.
Meri chori pakdi jaati
jab roshan hota bajaj
Kya rangeen jawani thi,
ek Raja aur ek rani thi
Raja Rani Sharma jaate,
Jab roshan hota Bajaj.
Ab main bilkul boodha hoon
Goli Khaa ke jeeta hoon,
Lekin aaj bhi ghar ke andar
Roshni Deta bajaj.

later on, they used to skip stanza #2. I cannot help myself so I am
writing a couple of crude parodies formed by some primary school boys.
Please bear with me. Maybe they will help me reunite with my bicchade
hue dost (who will complete the parody as soon as I forget something..
and then we will sing it together)
--------------------------------------------
Jab main chhota baccha tha
Langoti mein hagata tha
meri langoti dhoi jaati
Jab Roshani deta Bajaj.
Ab main bilkul boodha hoon,
dhoti chhodke nachta hoon,
lekin aaj bhi ghar ke andar,
Roshani deta bajaj.
--------------------------------------------
Thoda Kichad try karo
Kichad hota mitti bhara
isme mitti nahi zara
Wah! Lagta cement ka bana hua.
VOLFRAM! Sade gale tamataron se hota hain tayyar..volfram

This topic is about crude ads. Many ads mentioned below are not crude.
> . Jo biwi se sachmuch karte pyaar woh prestige se kaise kare inquar
LOL. There is an incredible vulgar version of it which we use to do in
college.
Change prestige to some condom (like nirodh).
And the guy instead of asking "pehle yeh batayia aap apnee biwi se kitna
pyaar karte hain"
"aap apnee biwi ko kitni baar ..."
Rest u can imagine.
Another vulgar parody of ad was that Rasna ad. Husband returns from office
and wife asks "chai". the kid say "papa ko nahee chaheeye". Then she asks
"coffee" and then kid says the same. Finally she asks "rasna" and the kid
says "papa ko yahee chaheeye".
Change rasna to ch*t and repeat the ad. Sounds very funny.
aha, those college days.

I know. I wonder if it was because the ad was too long, or it had to do with
Ad Censor board ( if there was something like this)

I don't think this was Vengsarkar. He was in some Godrej soap ad
(Ganga?) -- that's where he'd be in the tub with his kid.
And how could you forget the "Only Vimal" series. Those were such
"cool" ads then :-)

Talking about vulgar ads... think about Pan Parag, and Jalal Agha

I will have to get back to you on this. As I said earlier, quite a few

Thanks. Green color flashed before my eyes along with lime slices :)
And I remembered the Cadbury ads today. They used to be good too.(sorry
RK, not crude, but this thread has been hijacked :) )
.Remember the one, where the girl dances in slow-mo in the cricket
field after the match is over while eating a Cadbury.
.Then there was that mouth watering cadbury ad of "..the Swiss
discovered Chocolate", where they show some Swiss farm and cows etc.
Not an Indian ad, but was pretty popular then.
.I am not sure if the list had:
".aur yeah match ki aakhri gend, aur yeah laga SIXER. Natraj(tm) phir
champion.
[begin jingle]
Natraj Pencils, khoob likhayi.. (V can finish it, I do not remember
after this)"
.A crude ad for RK:
Not an ad, but a public service message or might have been a helmet ad.
It was spine-chilling to see two big hammers coming down on two
coconuts. One breaks a coconut to pieces and the other coconut has a
helmet over it and is safe. It ended with "Marzi hain aapki, aakhir sir
hain aapka".. It had such an effect on me that I rarely drove
motorcycle w/o helmet after that.
.Amul Butter had nice ads also.
.Amul Chocolates ..."for someone you love". I used to like all flavors
except for the bitter one that I tasted by mistke and spit it out. Life
has taken a 180 degree turn now and bitter chocolates are my favourite
now. I do not remember all flavor names but they had Orange flavor too
IIRC.
.Dadi maa dadi maa.. madari ke pet mein dard hain...
.Dadaji.. Badminton? (was that the last public appearance of Dr Lagoo?
)
.55(?) saal ke boodhe ya 55 saal ke jawan
. yeah hain badhata baccha, dekho kaisi kood lagaye .. yeah hain badhta

I think you are right. Vengsarkar's line in that ad was " Mehnga hain?
" followed by "uh-huh" by his wife. I now remember that as someone had
commented after that ad that maybe DV knnew that he should start saving
now.
V
Not Ganga. That was Govinda. Vengsarkar was "Vigil". I recalled it
after you mentioned "Mehnga Hai"
Iski keemat kuch bhi nahin
Jayada din tak chale yeh Vigil.

Which one is that?
Actually, I was always more of a fan of radio ads. We would listen to
Vividh Bharti every morning 8:30 am onwards (during summers) to listen
to songs from new movies. And Sunday 12:30 pm onwards, where they had
those ads for the movies, where they'd tell you the starting of s movie
and ended with question like (Also true for Diamond comics program that
came at 2:30 pm)... Kya Shera Reshma ko bacha paaya, Kya Madan apne ma
baap ke khoon ka badla le paaya. Kaun hai yeh Black Panther? Yeh sab
janane ke liye dekhein "Muzrim ki maut, kiston main".

In Delhi radio one can listen to ads for novels also.
Like there was one ad for a novel called Kameena.
Young man telling to his dad: Yeh 5 lakh rupaye leke yahan se phuteyeh papa
(take 5 lakhs and get lost from here)
Old man: Rupayon se baap ke pyaar ka karza oottar raha hai kamene.
LOL. what a crude ad.
Another crude ad was of Dabur Chavanprash
Old man : Suntee ho munna phir daud mein first aaya hain, pota kiska hain
Old lady: Mein jo Dabar ka chavanprash khilatee hoon tum sabko.
Vulgar version:
Old man: Suntee ho munna phir ladkee c**d ke aaya hain, pota kiska hain
Old lady: Mein jo mast raam kee pondy padatai hoon tum sabko.

This was one of the first ads of a teenager called Sachin Tendulkar. He
was there in a boost ad too where he says "Boost is the secret of my
energy" and then suddenly Kapil comes, keeps his hand on Sachin's
shoulder and says "OUR energy". I am sure RK would remember some crude
parody of that ad too :)

LOL. "Madan".. LOL.. f*^&, I literally had tears in my eyes because of
suppressed laughter here after imagining that "Kaun hain yeah Black
Panther?" That took me straight into the Wheelers book stall on the
Railway Stations where I used to stand on my toes to get a good look at
all the comics inside.

No. But I do remember that it was one of the first jingles composed by A R Rahman,
alongwith Garden Vareli one (that was quite similar to Roja title song)
Master Chief
Well.. it had to do with Sachin becoming a father of triplets or
something like that. Then the reporter asks him how he achieved this,
the rest of the ad remains the same :)

They always had some corny song like..."I am too old to live and too
young to die but I just think you are right for Amul chocolate!"Ok I

I also liked Orange and Bitter.I personally didnt like Amul as much as
European chocolates but it can beat American chocolates anyday.I find
American chocolates too sweet.All Indian chocolates can,I even liked
the short lived Campco(anyone else remember that?)

Here I was thinking by crude you meant something else..ie sexual

All awful awful shows!Dada Dadi Ki Kahaniyaan with Ashok Kumar and
horde of ugly children had stories straight from the Bengali Folk Tales
ACK,anyone else remember stories like Sukhu and Dukhu?
I remember Indradhanush had some cloning sub plot and there was some
dude who travelled from the Andromeda galaxy.I enjoyed it a lot then.

I remember it. The one about the boarding school right? The head boy
was "Kapoor" IIRC. I remember the soccer trials.
If we are going for a list of serials:
AirHostess
Subah (the one that did a great job of scaring a lot of kids away from
drugs.. subah ko kar salaam...)
Trishna
BabajiKaBioscope (sp? boring one.. i don't know how i remembered this)
VikramAurVetaal
Manoranjan (Manoranjan..manoranjan.. badalte scene filmon ke.. sabhi
pyaase hain ... ke, .... hain Jeevan, Manoranjan)
Yeh jo hain Zindagi
TenaliRaman
ShekharSuman's 15 min serial (Chhote Babu or something)
Fauji
Bodyline
Kachhi Dhoop (Bhagyashri and Ashutosh Gowarikar)
Malgudi Days
MoongeriLaal ke haseen sapne
Then there was one serial with MalvikaTiwari and SudeshBeri. I did not
like it a lot but used to watch every single episode as that meant a 30
minute break from board studies. I cannot remember the name. She is an
actress and he is the director and they finally get-together in
episode13.
One was a little weird one about an apartment complex, where everyone's
wife is pregnant at the same time and after giving birth there is a
fire in the hospital. The doctor tells them that they lost track and
they cannot match the parents to the babies (an era before DNA tests
and blood tests I guess) so he gives one baby to each couple. The whole
thing is based on how the parents think someone else is their child
depending on their traits. In the last episode (episode 13), the doctor
calls them all and tells them "chutiya banaya". They had the records
but he just wanted to have some fun (i do not remember the reason he
gave). So everyone is happy (.. and they do not doubt the spouse's
fidelity when they see the traits in others kids and they do not sue
the doctor and they live happily ever after and they give the Thursday
slot to a more believable series)
BTW, one of my friends still has that chunauti soundtrack.
Mannnnnn ek seeeeep hain, Aasha moti hain

What I wonder is, whether the serials in those late 90's were really
good? or is it that we were not mature enough to understand that they
were crappy? Or were they just a novelty because we did not have enough
TV.
I watch a couple of serials on Zee TV these days, and really no one is
ever happy. Every one is plotting against his saas/bahu/bhabhi/behan.
Every husband is having an extra marital affair. And the way dress up
and live, with all those big bunglows, and heavy jewellery and those
sindoors. It is as far away from the real life as it could, unlike the
serials in the 80's which were a lot closer to what the middle class
was all about. Rajni, Wagle ki Duniya, Mungeri lal.

Serials are there since Humlog days (1984). So the novelty should have ended
up years ago.
I use to watch Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi, little bit of Humlog and Nukkad. But basically
I am not a TV serial man. The exception is comedy which I think suits the 30 min
model well. But a running story for months (as in serials) is just not my cup of
tea. I lost interest in serials by late 1980s and then hardly saw them.
Even in US I avoid serials except CSI in which the story is not carried over.
Ramayana and Mahabharat were notable exceptions.
Today I don't even remember the serial names I saw. However for some reason
there is one serial I remember. It had Madan Jain in the main role. Basically
a story like Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. Initially he struggles a lot and then he
gets a break and slowly turns into a ruthless businessman. He starts believing
in "the end justifies the means" .
His conscious turns back to good when he comes to know that
a person whom he wanted to bump off in business is a blind person.
Does anyone remember the name of the serial.
Sorry I Don't remember much. The story had a setting of Delhi.
I felt that Madan Jain was superb in that. A very good actor.
I think it was shown around 1991-92 timeframe.

last year when I was in Mumbai to meet my siblings, I came to know that
in my brother's house they stop all work to watch serial Astitva of ZTV.
When I asked "is it that great", he told me that they don't see any other
serial in any channel. They decided that one serial should be followed
seriously and it was that serial. I was amused to say the least. They
were actually discussing the story SERIOUSLY while watching it. LOL.
BTW the hero and one/two actors of that serial live in HiraNandani complex
and my brother keeps bumping into them at the shopping place there.
I believe in India TV serials are big addictions. My dad now follows some
serials *seriously*. He was one person who hardly saw commerical movies
as far as I rememeber. It seems this addiction cuts across all languages.
I believe few years back Radhika's serial Chitti (chachi) was one big addiction.
Gafoor mentioned how he has to fight with his parents over tamil serials. Shridhar
also mentioned this serial as being addictive.

I like the one off sitcoms. Will and Grace and Everybody loves raymond
are pretty good. I followed Sex and the City pretty religiously.
Atleast, the shows here have some diversity. One ones in on Zee are all
the same, be it Astitva, Sindoor Tere Naam Ka, Piya Ka Ghar, Reth or
whatever. The only one thats stands out on Zee Tv is that operation 911
or something like that. It sucks a lot more than the rest.

here is the story of Astitva in short. Every man in 20-30's falls for
every women in 20-30's except his wife. Here is what happens to
Abhimanyu.
1) marries simarn
2) gets divorced
3) Marries Kiran
4) gets divorced
5) Marries neha
6) She dies
7) Disappears for 18 years
8) Comes back and marries Simran again
And every serial has extra marital affairs, people plotting against
each other, destroying each others life, someone having a fatal
acident. Its not even funny how similar these serials are.

This usually is the result of failure of contract renewal.
The biggest difference between these and the earlier ones (80s) was the
limit of 13 episodes (waived for Ramayana/Mahabharat) and the fact
that there was no other channel. So only the good ones used to be
on-air (low failure rate).
It is impossible for me to watch any soap now except the kick-ass soap,
Sopranos, of course. But I watch that on free public library DVD and
finish a season in 3-4 days.

A funny thing I've seen in some serials is that the actor/actress
playing one of the main characters changes sometimes. That's the other
way of getting around 'failure of contract renewal.' I've heard that
it's not that uncommon in US serials too. One that I remember is when
Will Smith's aunt in 'Fresh Prince...' changed after a few seasons.

3) Brittania maries biscuits: This used to be shown a lot in movie

in early 80s. the ad went something like :
"guests for tea, ring up marie ! Britannia, Brittania, Brittania

That was originally designed to be the green monster of

I think Onida also went along with the devil theme.

It happens because of death also & in movies too.
The Oracle changed in between the Matrix Reloaded &
the Matrix Revolutions because the actor died. This
was explained by saying that the Oracke needed to
change her shell to hide from Merovingnian.
Aditya Basrur
Another way of getting around it is simply to swop characters over. In
"MASH", for instance, practically the only characters who remained
throughout were Hawkeye Pearce (Alan Alda), Hot Lips Houlihan (Loretta
Swit) and the guy who played Klinger. The colonel changed from Henry to
Sherman Potter, Frank Burns was replaced by Charles Winchester, etc. It
has a less jarring effect than merely changing actors.

Yes, she was the wife of the MD, Sunil Alagh. He led a coup against the
Chairman Rajan Pillai who was ousted, then arrested. During the arrest
and interrogation in Delhi, he suffered a heart attack and died. It
quickly became an infamous scandal.
Another person whose license was revoked for appearing in an ad was
Sriram Lagoo.
Other "can't get this out of my head" sorta ads:

6. Lazaree - Dadar saree shop (ad in Marathi)
7. The embarassing carefree and nirodh ads. Every kid must've asked
his/her parent what the products were and must've got confusing
responses.
But I loved some ads too. I loved the jingle "utterly butterly
delicious" and the ad with the elderly Parsi gent trying to get the
words "Quite simply the utterly tasty butter". He would go "Quite
tastily the simply utter butter" etc.. It was kind of cute.
I also liked the Mangola ad "From the orchard to the bottle is a long

an ad man, just to able to write stuff like that.

I think the first nirodh ad on the Delhi TV was around 1979, an awkward

I think it was called "Hum Hindustani" or something. Ostensibly, the
idea was to promote national integration by making fun of the regional
stereotypes. Till the truth is revealed, a punjabi father will be
thinking a neighbour's daughter is actually his, because she is good in
sports, a bengali thinks some other neighbour's son is his because he
is good in studies etc.

I used to be quite a big fan of HumLog and used to watch it religiously
(but then, we had just got the tv and I used to watch even Krishi
Darshan regularly!). It was being shown on some DD channel couple of
years back, I decided to follow it again, but I really had to force
myself to sit through two episodes and then I gave up. It looked so bad
that I thought it better remain as a memory. Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi was
slightly better, but even that didn't have the same effect it had in
mid-80s.

I thought Khaandaan was far better than Hum Log, but Hum Log was the

Ditto with Buniyaad.
The marathi serial Shvetambara [Woman in White] was far better. They

It was another one from Kundan Shah/Saeed Mirza with the same cast etc.. It
was about the life on a railway platform. The song went something like
Jeevan Ek Pyaas Hai
Sabhi ko kuch talaash hai. ... sung to tune of tum pukar lo tumhara intezaar
hai..
etc etc..
Or so I think. It could be some other serial
