What
is it that drives you? What
is it that drives you to live life on your own terms; to be so passionate about
that something which ignites your otherwise silent eyes?
Is it that
noiseless but arduous obsession to be an absolute unique? Or, is it that fervent
desire to be second to none? Maybe,
you are still awaiting the answer. Maybe, you already have it but are beyond all
expressions, living the answer
sheltered within the womb of an intense feel.
Shah
Rukh is all calm and poised, sitting in his half lit study, wondering what exactly
it is that drives him to be what he is. He meditates over the thought and tries
to satiate his soul with varied answers. He tries to find a clue to that driving
element within his closed self which helps him reach his every passionate
desire.
As
he sits pondering over his thoughts, his musings
evolve into a passionate monologue and finally
he finds the answer - answer to that question
which was otherwise left unattended.
And
finally Khan declares the truth which states that
human drive cannot be understood
it can
only be felt, rather, it has to be felt. He says,
"I don't know what drives me. I can't explain
it, but I can feel it. When I walk under the lights,
when the camera comes on, I can feel it. Every
moment I live."
Review:
ICICI Group Global Private Clients (GPC) wanted to reach out to all those 30+
SEC A++ successful males, having upwards of $1 million net investments with ICICI.
So
it chose to launch this new commercial with brand ambassador SRK, skewed only
towards those who desire to see those millions in their accounts.
And, Ad Pick believes that ICICI has actually hit the bulls eye.
The energy
and innovation, which Khan represents coupled with his popularity, definitely
makes him the ideal choice for this ad. Also, the mood that the TVC delivers is
absolutely classy, like SRK
thus, talking to only those successful
gentlemen who vouch upon their inner drive to excel. Since
this ad targets a niche market, it really does not have to worry about the universal
appeal factor. And consequently, the target hit rate graph definitely rises higher.
Also,
the TVC, coming from the house of DraftFCB Ulka, highly encapsulates the way in
which ICICI Group GPC positions itself in the market, demystifying an elite
client's stated or unstated needs and constantly striving to fulfill them.
Well
done people. Really some classy work there. Congratulations DraftFCB
