English Description
The ad is for an innovative product called 'My Song'. It's a reverse caller tune that allows the person who is calling to hear the tune/song he wants and not the caller tune of the person he's called. The idea stems from a youth insight that they're surrounded by people who are always giving an opinion on everything they do. And mostly the opinions are not what the youth wants to hear. The films suggest a wonderful thought 'what if you could hear just what you want to hear'.
The ad is set in a typical Indian family, that's a very conservative and traditional. In such a family, the act of getting a tattoo would be seen as a sign of rebellion and greeted with shock and rebuke. But in the film, the act of getting a tattoo is surprisingly welcomed and appreciated.
