Delhi: Parle-G’s Ganesh Chaturthi film aims to be a celebration of the mood and joie de vivre that Lord Ganesha brings to every home on the eve of the festival.
The company revealed that the film is created as a discourse about tradition and gender. It refrains from preaching or instructing the audience. Instead, the audience is drawn in as part of the story.
The long-format film conceptualised and created by Thought Blurb Communications captures the mood and spirit of the festival. The film has been conceptualised in Marathi, it has been released in 4 more languages.

The story revolves around the protagonist who is charmed by the hubbub of activity in the house in the days preceding the coming home of Lord Ganesha. While the rest of the household is caught up in the buoyant mood of bringing Ganpati home, we see a little girl ask an innocent question. She is not quite satisfied with the response. This is noticed by the protagonist. In the course of the film, the question is resolutely answered, and the family, including the young girl, walks away happy.
The theme is explained by Mayank Shah, Vice-President at Parle Products, as he says, “Parle-G is usually a participant in every festival and celebration in virtually every household in the country. The idea is powerful enough to merit its own expression. The storyline steers it to the brand’s purpose and delivers its message. The underlying Brand message “Genius is the one, who believes that in the Joy of Others lies our own” is delivered beautifully with emotions that leave most viewers moist eyed.”
Vinod Kunj, Chief Creative Officer at Thought Blurb Communications, added, “This is the third in a series of long format films we have created for Parle-G that touch upon cultural and social occasions that bring us together. The brief for the strategy and creative team was to shine the light upon an aspect of the event that hasn’t been dwelt on before and deliver the ‘genius’ thinking that is the soul of the brand’s communication.”
Renu Somani, National Creative Director of the agency, said, “While every nuance of Ganesh Chaturthi has been covered extensively across every aspect of the communication spectrum, there are some facets that are still not explored. Traditions have always existed, and we all follow them to tell our stories. The way the story unfolds, it carries the brand message of true genius being about using one’s imagination to bring happiness to others.”
The tagline is ‘Genius wohi, jo auron ke khushi mein paye apni khushi.’
