The tvc starts with a scout-boy wanting to go brush his teeth in the night, which would be the second time in 24 hours. But the person in charge tells him not to roam around in the night because of ghosts in the forest. Unconvinced the boy returns and seeks out when the man-in charge is not at sight. The kid goes-brushes his teeth-and returns. But just outside his tent he is caught by the person in charge, and starts yelling at the boy. The boy tactfully replies that if I don’t brush my teeth twice a day about the ghosts that will inhabit my mouth? To this the man remains silent.

The ad sends out a clear message to the kid’s to brush their teeth twice a day which prevents germs and bacteria infected the teeth. At the same time it also disclaims superstitions such as ghost. Thus setting the right example for kids.

The tvc begins with two boys fighting over a scholarship in their hands. A poor-boy is looking at this incident from neat the fence. The kids look at him and ask him whether he would like to go to school and hand the scholarship over to him.

After looking at the poor-kid the two boys realized that he would require it more than the two of us. The ad sends out the message of helping the needy to the children.

The Tvc starts with small children refusing to have their food but pushing their plates away, throwing tantrums, they have a full stomach. At the end of the Ad a graphic visualization of Horlicks is shown on how it can full-fill the kids nutritional needs.

The tvc starts with a boy waking up early in the morning and a Dog(pug-breed) following him everywhere he goes. The ad links the dog to the network by stating Where-ever you go we follow.

After the release of this ad many children had started demanding a pug dog. This breed is held as a status symbol in India. Moreover the pug is not suited to the Indian climate.

The tvc starts with two children-brother and sister walking back home after school. While walking the sister accidentally falls in a puddle of muck and starts to cry. Based on the Indian Ideology the brother is supposed to protect his sister the ad moves on future with the boy(broher) hitting and beating the muck as if it was a human and yelling at it to apologize to his sister. His sister cheers him on for the same, He then gets up and tells his sister that the muck has apologized and in return his sister smiles.The ad is concluded with a graphic visualization of surf-excel and a tag line stating “Daad ache hain” (stains are good)

This ad gives out a message that stains are good as they can be removed by surf-excel which is not true. But after watching this ad children in reality took stains lightly and this has created a problem for their parents. The ad also states that hitting someone or something is valid if they have hurt you.

4. Tata Sky :

The ad shows children portrayed as Albert Einstein doing their daily chores and attending school. The Act ends with the tag line “Aggar har ghar meh tata sky hoga toh har bacha genius hie hoga na” (If there is tata sky in every house then all kids will be geniuses wont they?) The tvc is based on the interactive educational based games available on the tata sky network.

After watching this tvc many elders taught that their I.Q. levels would increase, which the ad had exaggerate by showing the figure of Albert Einstein. The ad would have a negative impact on children as they would sit in front of their tv sets playing these games rather than studying/doing their home-work.

Hearing this, the kid gets excited and returns home.

The ad would impact the ideology of a kid in such a way that his mind set would be such that if he has been yelled at he should run away and there would be someone who will come to convince him. But running away from home is not at all a good example geing set.
