You’re busted, butterfly.
Just out of curiosity… does anyone else find this series of Saif Ali Khan, Sarah-Jane Dias & Kareena Kapoor commercials a tad disturbing? Or at the very least disappointing? As far as I can remember all those warm and fuzzy love stories that had anything to do with childhood sweethearts always ended (without exception) with said sweethearts ending up together while you wipe a happy tear from your eye as the credits roll (and to be honest, I kind of like it that way.) Nowhere in my memory do I recall an episode where childhood sweetheart returns to find his little friend all-grown-up into a wonderful (and evidently helpful) young lady and then proceeds to be so easily distracted by sudden appearance of (debatable at best) sexy siren! What was that? Why did “Veronica” win? On behalf of all the Betty’s in the world I object!
However in part two it seems he’s found said sweetheart too late, and now sexy siren has already moved in and he’s torn. So does he dump her in part 3 and return to madame butterfly? But that wouldn’t work either especially since they’re a couple in real life too, who would buy that?! Or is this some smug way of saying “its different” perhaps? Wtf happened to the Keep It Simple Stupid rule eh?
Mr. Nanda I apologize for playing in your junkyard but would you care to shed some light on this very random Airtel commercial? P.S. This totally reminds me of that vapid Nicole Kidman, Arjun Rampal and Slumdog kid Rubina advertisement for Schweppes!

I don’t like the ending either! Kareena Kapoor, ’sexy siren’? I’d have to disagree…I don’t think she’s a sexy anything…yuck! and that’s why my name is anonymous. I have a feeling I would be getting hate mail/comments otherwise.

Nah you’re right I don’t think so either that’s why I said debatable at best!

Same here! boo Kareena! And ofcourse here it could have been any girl and I would have booed her too for its not right. It should simply end the way it used to end, this end is all crap. Whoever they wanna use like Saif and Kareena, still bad!
(Sounds like I am extra hating but that is all my opinion.)

To begin with both Kareena and Saif come as a package deal these days which is fairly annoying!..so far as the ad is concerned, i second ur opinion..didnt appreciate the ending either.

what a stupid ad. clearly the Airtel TV didn’t help much;

i don’t know why real-life couples have to end up together in the film/ad, too – it’s called ACTING, people! i think the aam janta should be given more credit than that. also does not help that said real-life couples have minimum-to-no onscreen chemistry ;)
thanks, malini – i read an interview of sarah-jane yday and didn’t get the ‘dil titli’ reference. plus, how great does atif aslam sound, even if the song itself isn’t all that great..

Amit Jha – totally agree dude. I want the good old happy ending back!
Deepti, Anita, ak thanks for your feedback! ak I agree there is no reason to cast them together (although I think they think the public will pay more attention if they do!) Love Atif Aslam, awesome voice!
