Krrish 3 trailer gets 12 Million views
The Krissh 3 trailer is breaking records of two hollywood superhero movies which released last year.
Thor and Avengers 2 had about 4 million and 6 million views.
Krissh 3 is breaking the records by getting 12 million views in just 10 days.
Hrithik Roshan could not be happier. “It is a glimpse of how much lies beyond the barriers of the conventional. It’s an effort to raise the bar. And people are curious as it is the first complete Indian high budget VFX-heavy superhero movie. I guess these could justify the incredible response to the first promo. The number now is around 12.8 million,” he says.
Director Rakesh Roshan adds that it is a ‘super feat’. He says, “I am humbled at this overwhelming response. It is only because of the ‘super’ brand called Krrish. I’m showing them Krrish again after seven years. I thought people would have forgotten but they want to see it again! I knew people would like the trailer but not to this extent. This one was the toughest to make as with Krrish 3 I went to a completely new genre so I was learning new things.”

Dulux gives consumers a closer look at their home exteriors through its latest TVC
Drives home the idea of ‘Door se sundar, kareeb se solid’ through the product benefits of Weathershield Max
Link to commercial: http://we.tl/ywQQvtwdwn
New Delhi, August 19, 2013: Ever wondered if paint for homes could ever resolve the conflict of “what appears good from far versus what is good when seen up close”? AkzoNobel, the largest global paints and coatings company and the maker of Dulux paints in India, is all set to change consumer perception about the beauty of their home inside out. Dulux paints, the flagship brand of the company has recently launched a new integrated campaign for its exterior product, Dulux Weathershield Max. The campaign kick starts with the unveiling of a new television commercial that plays on the concept of ‘Door se sundar, kareeb se solid’. The new TVC drives home the benefits of using a paint product that not only ensures an aesthetic looking house, but also ensures durability and protection of exterior walls against harsh weather conditions.
The creative treatment depicting this theme has been brought out metaphorically in two new television commercials that will be aired in four different languages – Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, and Bengali. Both the TVCs follow a classic twist in the tale by drawing parallels between two separate situations that compel consumers to take a closer look at their homes. The TVCs will go on air from 20th August.
Mr. Rajiv Rajgopal, Director – Sales & Marketing, Decorative Paints, Akzo Nobel India said, “Dulux is a name synonymous with colours as well as innovative products that ensure longevity and durability of the walls of your home. Dulux Weathershield Max is our flagship product in the performance and protection space and the latest campaign ‘Door se sundar, kareeb se solid’ hits hard on the need for a product that not just renews the exterior walls, but also offers performance superiority of protection against harsh weather conditions. Weathershield Max is a technologically superior product enhanced with the innovative crack-proof technology that provides long-lasting protection and complements the appearance of homes.”
He added, “The campaign weaves in the core philosophies and innovation that is unique to our brand. Through the campaign, we have tried to resolve the most common conflict of ‘what appears good from far versus what is good when seen up close’ when it comes to the beauty and protection of walls of your home. The concept of the TVC perfectly embodies the need for a technologically superior product that gives consumers the confidence to get up, close and personal to their house.”
Commenting on the campaign, the Chairman of Dentsu India Group, Rohit Ohri said, “As communication partners, the challenge before us was to disrupt current consumer behaviour in the exterior paints category with an insightful and hard-hitting campaign. Our brand idea of ‘how close are you to your home?’ challenges consumers to re-evaluate their current choices and ‘take a closer look’ when it comes to painting the exterior of their homes.”
Dulux Weathershield Max is a technologically advanced Elastomeric exterior emulsion paints powered by Crack-proof technology that covers hairline cracks and prevents water seepage, thereby providing dampness-free homes. The product is formulated to not only give long-lasting protection, but also provide a rich sheen to the exterior walls. The paint comes complete with special formulations that help fight algae and fungus, keeping the exteriors of your home in good shape for years.

Description of the TVCs
TVC ‘Nani’: The first film opens on a bright sunny day with a “sweet old nani” sitting on a low swing that is moving softly to the sound of the tinkling wind chimes. Sitting on one end of a balcony, she appears to be meditating and her lips can be seen as moving in a silent prayer as she counts some colourful beads. At the other end of the balcony, we see a young couple in their thirties moving towards the house carrying a large invitation card. As the couple approaches, they are seen as looking fondly at the old lady and marveling at the sense of serenity and calmness on her face. However, as the couple draws closer to the old lady, they can clearly hear her fervent mutterings against the melodious sound of the wind chimes and flute. Both the guests are taken aback at the stark contrast and the old lady’s deceiving avatar. The commercial end with a voice over of the couple saying, Door Se Sunder, Kareeb Se solid.
TVC ‘Baby’: The second ad film opens on a chubby adorable baby girl sitting on a pram in a large open balcony of a palatial house. The baby’s mother is standing right next to her. A couple can be seen as walking in with a large gift in their hands and as soon as they see the baby, they take an instant liking towards her. However, as soon as the lady in the couple picks up the baby to cuddle her, the ‘cute’ little girl bites the lady on the nose, pokes a finger in her eye and starts bawling at the top of her voice. The lady gets horrified and the commercial end with a voice over of the couple saying, Door Se Sunder, Kareeb Se solid.
