Faisal Khan (Maharana Pratap)
I usually celebrate independence day in my school. There’s a grand flag hoisting followed by inspiring speech on patriotism by our teachers. However, I doubt that I will be able to take part in the celebrations this year. Nevertheless, I will hoist the flag in my heart and bow my head in front of my motherland.

Hi,
Please find attached the independence day Quotes of the artists from Sony Entertainment Television.
Best regards,
Abhishek
*********************************************************************
Shekhar Ravjiani (Judge of Indian Idol Junior): Freedom is a state of mind. Breaking from stereotypes, from mindsets that confine us. The way we have begun to freely express ourselves whether through writing, movies, art or music. What symbolizes freedom better than the way talented little children have found their wings in shows like Indian Idol Junior. Independence day ultimately reminds us every year, to use our freedom to make India an even better place for our children. Happy Independence day!!!
Simran Kaur aka (Anaamika in Anaamika): In my childhood days Independence Day for me meant holiday only. In the morning I used to watch parade with dad and make small flags for everyone.
Today I feel our independence is taken for granted. Women are not at all independent; they are getting eve-teased, not allowed to wear what they want and treated really badly. I feel all the men should realize how they should behave with women, and then only we can say we all are independent equally.
Anuj Sachdeva aka (Maanav in Chhanchhan): I remember my childhood days when we used to love Independence Day as it meant a holiday for all of us. But as we grew up I began to understand the importance of this day and how much our freedom fighters had gone through to have an Independent India. Today it’s become a day that sparks a lot of positive attitude and patriotism in our country.
Delnaaz Irani aka (Dilshaad in Kehta Hai Dil.. Jee Le Zara): I am very patriotic person as I am a MA in history I have a complete knowledge about our history, in fact Indian history was my favorite subject. I can’t tolerate anyone talking against India or anything immoral spoken against it. I am very dedicated to my country, true Mumbaikars and very much attached to my roots. We should have faith, believe and love towards our country. On this Independence Day my only message is that one should love their country as you love your parents or your partner, it should be that selfless love. On every Independence Day I wear the tricolors and I feel that patriotism should not be for one day it should be there all 365 days.
Chandani Bhagwanani aka (Amita in Amita Ka Amit): When I was a kid on Independence Day there used to be various kinds of competitions in my school and I always used to come first and win lot of medals. I feel that Independence Day should be celebrated everyday as your love for your country can’t be only for one day. It is the day where we need to thank and morn for all those soldiers who are at the border protecting us every time. As a common man we can’t do anything for them so at least a remembrance is needed for them. Patriotism for me is a more like a duty and rights towards for your country.
Sangeeta Ghosh as (Saanchi Prabhu in Kehta Hai Dil… Jee Le Zara): Independence comes with lot of responsibility. Only responsible citizen should have the right to complain. One needs to be responsible for their country first and then for themselves.
Ruslaan Mumtaaz as (Dhruv Goel in Kehtaa Hai Dil… Jee Le Zara): During my school days, I was the captain of the house so on Independence Day we used to have this march past and I was the one leading it. Even at that time, I used to take that lead so seriously it’s like as if I am a Solider who is also playing its part in the country’s protection. I love and respect the soldiers out there at the border who are always protecting us. Independence day for me is the day I feel everyone should salute these brave soldiers for their incredible support.

Honda commences new Ad campaign for its mass motorcycle -Dream Neo
Mumbai, August 12, 2013: Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI) today commences its new Ad campaign titled ‘Superstar’ for its Dream Series mass motorcycle – the 110cc DREAM NEO. This is the first time that HMSI has tried a different route and have gone rural in the ad concept. The TVC is created by Dentsu Marcom will start airing across channels from 12th August 2013. To break into the highest selling segment, DREAM NEO from Honda caters to the needs of the Indians who now aspire for an expression of individual identity with “Apni Film ka Superstar” ad concept. They desire their dream bike to deliver best in class mileage having star features in a limited budget.
Objective of the campaign
To announce the arrival of the new mass bike from Honda’s stable; ‘Honda’s dream for a billion Indians, in order to stamp its presence in motorcycle segment, Honda expanded its product portfolio further in the 100-110cc mass segment and to get a better foothold in the entry level two-wheeler market.
Brief shared with the agency – Dentsu Marcom
Entering a New Era in India, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI), the only two-wheeler company of Honda in India had announced its plans to aggressively expand its presence through India specific Brand Identity “Sach Kardenge Sapne” and various new launches at India’s largest automobile event Auto Expo 2012.
Honda’s new 100cc mass segment offering – ‘Dream Neo’ will be an extension to its product portfolio further in the 100-110cc mass segment.
Approach
As we delved into the life of the semi-urban, rural consumer, we found a man who was the anchor for his family even as he battled a plethora of daily challenges and changing landscapes. We also found a man who stood out for his confidence and assurance in himself. We wanted to bring alive this dimension and his persona in full glory – something that is lost in stereotypical narratives in competitive communication.
Rather than aspiring to be someone else, we decided to celebrate our protagonist as not just a star but a Superstar in his own life, in his own right.
DREAM NEO from Honda caters to the needs of the Indian mass model riders who now aspire for an expression of individual identity believing strongly in themselves as “Apni Film ka Superstar”. They desire their dream bike to deliver best in class mileage having star features in a limited budget.
Film Descriptor (i.e. describing the film)
The film begins with protagonist saying, “Ye meri phillum hai aur iss phillum ka main Superstar hoon” We see him almost getting ready for his act. We see him donning the sun glasses, the jacket which says “Horn Ok Please”. We then see him riding on a bike through Chambal like rocky terrains. He goes on to say “Iss kahani main kayi saare villain hain, kabhi ye kabhi ye toh kabhi ye” And we see the villains in his life – “the kanjoos lala, the badnaam traffic and the zaalim raaste”
He then goes on to say that when he gets on his Dream Neo, the stellar features of the bike, help him feel on top of things so much so that all the villains in his life appear like small time rowdies who if he blew on them, they would fly away.
We see a testimony of this when he rides past the Kanjoos lala who’s vehicle is broken and the throttle of the Dream Neo makes his topi, umbrella etc fly away, much to the angst of the lala. Similarly we see him conquer the badnaam traffic and zaalim raaste.
In the end we meet the ‘Mrs Superstar’. She comes down to welcome him home. As he asks her “Phillum chale?” she replies saying, “Apni phillum itni achchi toh auron ki kyon dekhe?”
The film ends with the tagline “Dream Neo, Bano apne phillum ka superstar”

From coloring a Zebra crossing in Mumbai to giving public transport systems of trams in Kolkata, double decker buses and local trains in Mumbai, a colorful makeover in the Asha 501 colors.
Mr. Ashwin Padmanabhan, Business Head – 92.7 BIG FM said, “The campaign has been extremely well received and has made for conversation currency.

Our team has once again showcased their solutions strength and we remain committed to delivering unique entertainment experiences to both marketers and listeners.”
