We all know our Indian movie makers can never make good movies of their own, exceptions apart, though. Most often than not, they have to pilfer popular playwright’s work, filch Hollywood films, steal scenes and lift ideas from around the world.
The Indian advertising industry is no different and it has always had more than its fair share of thieves and robbers - barefaced souls who have blatantly stolen stuff from foreign ads. And I am not talking about stealing just ad themes or execution ideas; sometimes even ad jingles are brazenly borrowed and silently stolen.
Want proof?
Click on this slick flick…… No marks for guessing the brand though.

As irony would have it, this piece of info was passed to me by a good friend of mine in……………….where else, advertising!

Good find by your friend sir...stealing apart ...these people have worked on much specifically that no one finds it..even if someone finds it out..there is not gonn be much a major impact as the lay men will not be aware of it unless until if it competitor brand comes with a new add makin fun about this ..ennama sutrukanunga...
May be the the music director would have asked for just 2 minutes to compose, sorry flick this one.
The music may be stolen but it made the individuality to MAGGI...
The entire music composer's doing the same...Oscar winner A.R.R too...
I can remember, this AD grabs my attention when I am child....
Any how good work MAGGI team...
Great catch. even a 5year kid in India will identify this great brand (needless to say, Maggi)in 3 seconds
Hi I am impressed
