    Fortune pays tribute to all Mothers

    By A Correspondent

     

    Mothers’ Day happened a few Sundays back, but since we just received this news, we are carrying it. Fortune oil launched a digital film conceptualised and executed by Triton Communications builds on the brand platform of Ghar Ka Khana Ghar Ka Hota Hai.

     

    Speaking on the campaign, Virendra Saini, Executive Director and Head, Triton Communications said: “Our Mothers are our best critics and also our strongest supporters and thus play a very crucial role in making us who we are, the video is a salute to all mothers encouraging them with a message to be the change they want to see in others by imbibing in their children respect and love for all women and treating them as equals”

     

    Added Ajay Motwani, Head of Marketing at Fortune: “The film is our tribute to Mothers, who inculcate progressive values in their children throughout their life. The film thought, Parose Achche Sanskaar, fits well with our Fortune brand umbrella platform, Ghar Ka Khana, where we celebrate home cooked food as food for the body and soul.” The campaign has been produced by Aum Sai Production House and Directed by Raju Desai.

     

     

  • Instead of unleashing boring stories of healthy electrons and neutrons inside the cooking oil, Fortune has gone all out to win the housewife's heart.

    Debrief: Cooking emotions

    By Anil Thakraney

     

    Here’s another tear-jerker. And if you are an emotional fool (like me), you will rush to your nearest grocer to pick up cartons of Fortune cooking oil. And when the emotion involves a mother/son situation, an advertiser can be pretty sure it’s a safe bet.

     

    Fortune’s new commercial features an elderly mom who whips up delicious food for her merchant navy officer son. Since the officer won’t get a holiday to visit home, she lands up on the ship to celebrate his budday. And then, of course, it’s the predictable re-union.

     

    Smart move. Instead of unleashing boring stories of healthy electrons and neutrons inside the cooking oil, Fortune has gone all out to win the housewife’s heart. And the cleverest thing about the ad is the soundtrack. It’s the classic song from SD Burman: ‘Meri duniya hai maa’. It’s the sort of song that will move a heartless, emotional geek, leave alone an already teary mother.

     

    However, I must add that I didn’t get the same emotional high that I did from the recent Cadbury ‘Lonely maa’ ad. Here, the emotion seems to be a bit contrived and forced, and I suspect the person to blame for that is the ad filmmaker. Somehow the tears get diluted in the translation of the storyboard. Tells you how important it is to cast the right director.

     

    Rating: (On a scale of 1 to 5): 3. Most of those marks go to Burmanda.
