Asian Paints brings back the classic ad ‘Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai,’
Mumbai: Asian Paints, a paint and home décor brand, proves that some stories only get better with time by reintroducing the beloved ‘Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai’ campaign. The new news is that the old news still holds. What we say today reflects how we live now, but we remain true to the principles we’ve held for years. The ad, originally released in 2002, was written by Piyush Pandey. His impactful voiceover and lyrical contribution lent the ad film an unparalleled charm, making it an iconic piece of advertising history. Now making a nostalgic comeback, it reminds viewers that while trends change, the essence of a home remains timeless.
This campaign encapsulates the idea that a home is more than just walls and a roof; it’s a reflection of the people within— their emotions, memories, aspirations, and personal journeys. The ad film beautifully conveys the deep bond between a home and its owner, showing how their personality is reflected in the design and atmosphere of the home.
The ad opens with a couple playfully choosing colours for their walls, showing how design shapes their home. The empathetic lyrics along with a heartfelt voiceover enriches the storytelling, poetically illustrating how people turn houses into warm, loving homes. The ad flows with families rearranging furniture, adding their personal touch, while children’s laughter fills the space, portraying the home as a place of happiness. Each scene reflects how every home tells the unique story of its residents, shaped by their choices and care.
Speaking on the revival of the iconic ad film, Asian Paints MD & CEO Amit Syngle expressed, “Asian Paints pioneered the approach of capturing the emotional essence of homes decades ago with the ‘Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai’ campaign that became a defining moment in our journey. The tagline “Har ghar kuch kehta hai” is not just a line—it’s a feeling. Piyush’s creative brilliance and soulful voice made the ad film pivotal in setting new benchmarks in the category while also redefining the advertising landscape. We have always championed the profound, personal bond consumers share with their homes. As Asian Paints continues to grow as an integrated home décor provider, our core mission is to be part of high voltage emotion of homemaking and bringing joy and happiness to people’s lives.”
Ogilvy India chief advisor Piyush Pandey said, “Some things are timeless, ageless and beyond the difference of generations. That is what this piece of communication is. It is the bravery of the client and the magic of the pen that God gifted me that day. Today if it’s going to run after 22 years, it just tells Asian Paints & Ogilvy – believe in yourself and back your winners.”
The revival of the classic ad is a nod to Asian Paints’ journey and a promise of more innovations to come. Now, homes have changed. Family structures have changed. Homes are smarter and newer, and the products and designs are different, but the feeling remains the same. By blending nostalgia with the brand’s cutting-edge solutions, the campaign invites both long-time loyalists and new generations to celebrate the joy of crafting homes that truly speak.
