The Peugeot 206 "India ad"

cyberhippie · Oct 15th, 2003, 01:03

Hi guys!!
For those of you who have never seen the Peugeot 206 ad filmed in India here's your chance.
Especially if you live across the pond or downunder where it probably was'nt released !!
It's a big WMA file so if your not on a broadband connection I would'nt bother it takes about 6/8 minutes on a 768KBS ADSL connection to give you an idea of the download time!!
I promise you though if your a fan of things Indian you'll have a laugh at this ad!!
here's the link!!!

India Peugeot 206 ad!!!

Just look for the file icon for Peugeot and click and wait!!

Have fun!!

I though you guys on the other side of the pond would appreciate the ad!! I was in stitches when the ad first came out!!
What about you Mike take a look if you can you won't be sorry!!

Nice ad

You might also like the Coke ads which are in the same vein. This ad campaign featuring Amir Khan also won significant awards this year.

Yeah cheers Fiski I seen the ads this year in India they were great
"PANCH!!!"

Here is a website where you can download an excerpt of the music, or buy the single which came out in the UK after the success of the ad. You can alos get the ad but I've not tried on my rural shared dial-up connection.

It hit the music charts but I don't know where it got to. The band is called the Bhangra Knights which I think is a play on the old comedy band from the 70s the Barron Knights.

Cheers Rab I thought I'd heard the song before!!

rab · Oct 15th, 2003, 04:18

Damn I've got that song stuck in my head now (complete with accompanying head movements!)

That's great!

Speaking of commercials does anyone remember one for a clothes washing machine that was filmed in Varanasi. I have only seen it once where everyone was on the ghats admiring this new fangled machine. All the admirers spent time checking out the features of it, twisting the knobs and the sheer quality of the clothes washer.

At the end all the women starting beating their clothes against the outside of the machine (like beating them on stones) and thought this new machine was great.

The Bhangra Knights website rab suggests, also has the full song and video available to watch free.

Sounds a great advert Mike, but I havn't seen it.

The ad is being played here in Australia (maybe only in cinamas?). I giggled myself silly when I saw it!

maree · Oct 15th, 2003, 08:18

Saw the Peugeot ad at a cinema in Auckland and cracked up laughing. I remember the Varanasi washing machine one too but can't remember if it was actually played on TV in NZ or if it was on one of those 'world's funniest commercial' type programmes.
