Talking Hero Honda's ad - Dhak Dhak Go

I can sense right now on xbhp, after reading all the posts that for everyone it came as a shock that XBHP server crashed. But lets leave the sad thing back...

Its a new beginning for Sunny and for Xbhp... And its my conviction that XBHP wil grow more and make the culprits jealous more... Let it be.... XBHP Rocks... anytime...

Well coming back to the topic... Looking forward to your comments on world class ad by Hero Honda.. the 3 minute ad... which was indeed hard to digest... I was about to bang my head on my tv when I saw the ad... I mean bikers dancing around with their bikes... instead of doing something creative on the bike... Hrithik and Priyanka... dancing around...

And that shot of Karzima being dropped from chopper... Give me a break... Heights of stupidity... No sense or logic... we can see the stupid creativity...

Comments??

I got to see the ad just a couple of days back on the television and I just didn't know what to say. But, going by the past experiences of HH (advertisements), I knew it HAD to be something like this!

HH rocks when it comes to absolutely senseless & nonsense advertisements!

Hey Alok, how r u doing man..!! long time no see... hows ur 220 doing...!!???

Well, we cant blame Hrithik(as he is the Brand Ambasador for HH) and priyanka for that...as they are actors and they are meant for that....!! and regarding the ad thing it was an advert just to show the HH bikes as HH completed 25 years...so, for that they shot such an ad..!!

As, this advert was not to launch a new bike so we can't expect much details abt the bike....

I know you are a Karizma owner... So you will support the ad..
But its not about the HH or bajaj.

HH guys have proved themselves... that when it comes to making Shitty ad... Hero honda is second to none...

We inder I am fine... and my P220 is good... No long ride since the crash... Now the rains have stopped... So looking forward to a long ride...

The best ad HHMIL ever sanctioned was the CBZ ad . In all its versions. Everything else sucks. Including the lates HH 25 years ad . Yuck

the amount paid to Hritik, piggy chops and viru could've been utilised for r&d..

...The most irritating part of the ad was the heli jump...Sheesh!!!!!

HH ad sucks, and sucks big time...



PS: I own a Karizma...
