BookMyShow targets Hindi audience in new ad
MUMBAI: Online entertainment ticketing platform BookMyShow is back with a television commercial, especially targeted at Hindi speaking markets, just in time with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Tiger Zinda Hai hitting theatres last week.
The 40-second ad film takes a slice from reality and wonderfully brings alive that feeling of disappointment when a person so willingly walks up to the box office cinema hall only to be told that the shows are houseful or only the front seats are available. It shows the distress of a person to resort to information gathered through hearsay to make himself seem pretentiously involved in the discussions surrounding a movie. The film ends with a simple solution to this common problem- just book your tickets on BookMyShow.
With this ad film, conceptualised by BBH India, BookMyShow effortlessly describes how it feels to be left out when you haven’t seen a film and others around you have. BookMyShow arrived at the insight after a detailed consumer research conducted with India’s leading research and measurement company Nielsen India.
The TVC also has a shorter edit and will be supported by digital campaigns in select markets.
BookMyShow VP of marketing and business intelligence Marzdi Kalianiwala says,“When we decided to use television as a medium to bring on board new users on BookMyShow, we wanted to come up with a simple film that would resonate with many of us. Conceptualised by BBH India, our ad film has been specifically timed with the release of Tiger Zinda Hai to capture the hype and existing awareness and excitement around the film.”
“We are confident that viewers will find the film’s honesty very reassuring and comforting when they see that they are not the only ones to feel left out when they haven’t seen a film and that more importantly, there is a solution to this problem- BookMyShow,” he adds.
BBH India chief creative officer and managing partner Russell Barrett mentions, “We have to thank BookMyShow for a clear, sharp and definite brief. The feeling of missing out in life is universal, it’s instinctive and in a world where new things trend every 15 minutes, it’s also more relevant now than ever. We have managed to tell a fun story in a memorable, modern and stark way. As a brand that lives in the world of entertainment, an ad for Book My Show, must also be, first and foremost, entertaining as well. This film, conceived of and written by Sapna and Yohan is simple, funny and celebrates both the fans and the movie really very well.”

Jack&Jones unveils Spring Summer ’26 collection with 3 themes
Music, Rush and Travel chapters anchor expansive youth-focused drop.
MUMBAI: If fashion had a playlist, this one would come with a bass drop, a road trip, and a wardrobe change in between. Jack&Jones has rolled out its Spring Summer ’26 collection, pitching it as its most expansive seasonal showcase yet less a drop, more a three-act cultural statement. At the centre of the campaign is Volume 1: Music, a chapter that taps into India’s independent music scene and wears its attitude on its sleeve quite literally. Featuring artists like Loka, Wazir Patar and Aksomaniac, the line blends bold graphics with relaxed silhouettes and versatile denim designed to move effortlessly from stage lights to street style.
Denim, unsurprisingly, remains the headline act. From lived-in washes to rip-and-repair textures and wide-leg fits, the collection leans into familiarity while nudging expression forward aiming to feel both personal and performative at once.
The brand didn’t stop at aesthetics. Extending its music-first narrative into the real world, Jack&Jones partnered with the UN40 Music Festival held on March 14 and 15 in Bengaluru. The collaboration featured an experiential pop-up, complete with denim customisation zones, interactive installations and exclusive viewing experiences turning fashion into something you could not just wear, but play with.
Volume 2: Rush shifts gears into a faster lane, embracing high-energy aesthetics tailored for movement, momentum and a lifestyle that rarely stands still. Think sharper silhouettes, dynamic styling and a sense of urgency stitched into every look.
In contrast, Volume 3: Travel slows things down. This chapter leans into sun-washed palettes, lightweight layers and easy silhouettes built for spontaneity designed for consumers who prefer their fashion with a side of wanderlust.
Across all three volumes, the thread that ties it together is clear: denim as a constant, supported by breathable cottons and summer-ready fabrics that balance comfort with structure. The result is a collection that doesn’t just follow trends but attempts to mirror the rhythm of youth culture itself.
With Spring Summer ’26, Jack&Jones isn’t just selling clothes, it’s curating moods. And in a season where identity is as fluid as style, that might just be its strongest fit yet.
