About the new advertisement – ‘Dilon Ko laaye extra paas’
The new advertisement captures Aircel’s deep seated belief to bring extra into the lives of its customers through the tale of two brothers. The younger one sulking about how nobody cares about his birthday except the routinely wishes by his family. Just then, the elder brother through Facebook and Whatsapp service on Aircel Internet network ropes in his friends to wish his little brother in a special way. The kid wakes up to tens and hundreds of red balloons dotting the blue sky. He is mesmerized to see red balloons going up from every single corner of his neighborhood. He exchanges a look with his elder brother all starry eyed while enjoying his amazing birthday gift. The film ends with a voiceover ‘Dilon Ko laaye extra paas’.
