The funniest Indian TV ads that defined the 2000s era

Right now, the latest trend in ad films are emotional stories, or social issues. Every ad in 2019 is using corporate social responsibility to sell their product. It seems like they are almost saying “Look, we are giving 2% of our earnings to the needy, so you better buy our product.”

Today, we take a look at some hilarious ads from the 2000s that were so simple, that they were really genius, the ads that really defined the era 0f 2000s.
