MUMBAI: Fevikwik, the instant adhesive brand from Pidilite Industries, has launched a new television ad campaign titled ‘Khushiyon ke chand pal,' which depicts a woman being unexpectedly appreciated by her loved ones for repairing different things in the house.
The campaign, conceived by Ogilvy & Mather, through a series of films with Fevikwik sense of humour, highlights the versatility of Fevikwik in fixing anything, from toys to ‘jhumka’ to a ‘mandir ki ghanti’. It talks about how Fevikwik cannot only fix broken objects but also cement the bonds between husband-wife, mother–son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The film opens with a kid sitting at a dining table eating food. ‘Mummy, karela aur dena,’ (may I have some more bitter groud?) he suddenly says to his mother. His request for more bitter gourd surprises his mother. A voiceover is heard in the background echoes her thought that something like this doesn’t occur every day. A flashback shows that the mother had fixed the kid’s favorite toy car using Fevikwik leading to the changed behaviour.
The film opens with a woman running on the treadmill. Her mother-in-law walks up to her with a glass of juice in her hand, not something she usually does. The reason is that she fixed a broken bill with Fevikwik.
Pidilite Industries chief marketing officer Vivek Sharma says, “A woman is at the heart of every family. But very often she goes unappreciated for little things she does around the household, including repairing broken things at home that are favourite to family members. The new TVC campaign, in its own humorous way, appreciates this role that she plays by bringing back things to life through repairs and creating little moments of joy.”
