This ad is considered among the greatest Indian ads of all time.

But the ad was a result of a panic phone call, a Diwali vacation interrupted and a music director who had a flight to catch to Kolkata.

Read on. 👇
Back in 1994, Ogilvy were on the verge of crisis. Cadburys were looking for a new direction.

They were being perceived as a children's product which wasn't appealing to adults.

The creative genius Piyush Pandey was on Diwali vacation in USA when his boss called him. Image
It was panic and mayhem at Ogilvy. And only something truly sensational would save the account.

Piyush Pandey took the next flight available. Hawaii - Seoul - Bombay.

It was here that he thought of the lyrics of the song and wrote them on the back of his boarding pass.

A trip from Mysore to Bangalore is simply incomplete without indulging in the mouthwatering Maddur Vada in Maddur.

In 1938, the town of Shivapura in Maddur proudly hoisted the Indian national flag, leaving an indelible mark on India's freedom struggle!

A thread🧵 Image
In 1938, The Indian National Congress held its session in Haripura village in Surat, Gujarat.

The session was presided by Netaji Subash Chandra Bose. At a time when hoisting the national flag was banned by the British, the Indian flag was hoisted at the Haripura session! Image
The Haripura Congress session where the tricolor was hoisted, inspired the Mysore leaders to hold a similar event!

But, the administration in Mysore got a whiff of these plans & banned public gathering. This did not stop leaders like Siddalingaiah & others

Arun Shourie once called the BJP government policies Congress plus Cow. During the first ever election in 1952, Congress had a pair of bullocks as its election symbol.

It is because of this lady from Tamil Nadu that the Congress Party has the hand as a symbol. 🧵 Image
The very first elections took place in 1952. Given that the large portion of the population were illiterate, Sukumar Sen, India's first chief election commissioner decided on symbols to identify each party.

The congress party chose a pair of bullocks as its symbol. Image
Even during Nehru's time, there was a lot of dissatisfaction with the "Kamraj Plan". It required Congress Leaders to give up government posts, in order to strengthen the party.

K Kamraj realized that the party was losing its vigor and resigned from his post as CM of Madras to focus on rebuilding the party.Image

Jamnagar these days is famous for being the epicenter of Reliance industries and for welcoming the who's who of the world for a pre-wedding.

But in 1942, it played a significant role in saving over 1000 Polish children from certain death in WW2.

A thread 🧵
Image
Image
In 1939, Nazi Germany attacked Poland which started World War 2. Some Poles tried to escape the wrath of the Germans by moving into Soviet territory.

The Soviet authorities forced hundreds of thousands of Poles to migrate deeper into Soviet territory, including Siberia. Image
The invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany in 1941 prompted the USSR to declare an amnesty, resulting in the liberation of these Polish exiles. They were asked to find refuge themselves.

They embarked on arduous journeys to various destinations. Image

"Except for cricketers, poets, and singers, others found it relatively hard to come to India."

This was director John Mathew Matthan's rationale for portraying a ghazal singer as the villain!

25 years ago, crime drama changed forever with the release of Sarfarosh!

A Thread 🧵 Image
John Matthew Matthan was an ad-film director, and "Sarfarosh" was his debut. But, he was an assistant to Govind Nihalani in Nihalani's first film "Aakrosh" and in "Gandhi," where Nihalani was the cinematographer!

He met Naseeruddin Shah on the sets of Aakrosh! Image
Aamir Khan's rationale to work with a debutant was as follows:

"When I read the script, I realized the social implications of what the film was trying to say (...) I reacted emotionally to it because of what I had been going through as an Indian, it talked of Hindus & Muslims living together."Image

Hindi film fandom is divided into two types: those who love Andaz Apna Apna and those who just don't get the love that this film garners.

A thread (🧵) on the iconic film that is often incorrectly thought of as Shashi Tharoor's cinema debut!Image
Andaz Apna Apna's success is often attributed to its video release and repeat telecasts on TV (Zee Cinema, who remembers!).

@diptakirti notes that while the movie did have a good opening, it did not deliver what is typically expected of a multi-starrer. Image
In the film, legendary comedian Mehmood played the movie maker who lures Salman Khan into cinema.

Medhmood's Wah Wah productions is a reference to his role in Pyaar Kiye Ja from the 1960s.

In Pyaar Kiye Ja he wants to make films under the Wah Wah Productions banner.
