Advertisements are not just about a product. They connect to us, talk to us, and often reflect the society we live in. Old Indian ads bring nostalgia, profound thoughts, and a vivid picture of India as it was.

Here, we recreate some of the most popular Indian advertisements. The ‘remixed’ advertisements imagine what would the campaign show if they were to talk to India as it is now.

See, and reflect. This is about brand India.
