Catch Garam Masala launches new TVC featuring Vidya Balan
MUMBAI: Catch Salt and Spices has launched a new TVC for its offering Catch Garam Masala featuring Vidya Balan.
The communication of new TVC has been developed around the core product attribute of taste, freshness and quality. The new communication tagline – ‘Khaney pe 100 per cent attention, Catch Garam masale se’ has been built on the already established positioning of ‘100 per cent Indian women ka match sirf Catch.’
The new TVC illustrates that if you want the family to enjoy ‘Roz Ka Khana,’ it should be made with Catch Garam Masala. The TVC addresses the day to day concern faced by women when family members are not interested in the routine food as it is not exciting enough. The new Catch TVC is clutter breaking in its category focusing, on ‘how to make everyday food, happening.’
The TVC has been created by Everest Brand Solution and directed by filmmaker Pradeep Sarkar of Apocalypso Productions. On the other hand, the still shoot has been done by Dabboo Ratnani.
DS Spiceco associate business head OP Khanduja said, “Brand Catch has always served its customers with outstanding quality and range of products that enables them to connect with the brand. The new TVC relates to the day to day scenario of an Indian household and is conceptualised in a way so that a common man is able to relate to it. Catch has recently shifted its ATL strategy from umbrella branding to being product focused. This new TVC for Catch Garam Masala is second in its series after success of Catch Subzi Masala TVC. A series of more products focused Television commercials are in the pipeline.”
Everest Brand Solutions group chief creative officer Rahul Jauhari added, “Our consistent efforts over the past few years have been to elevate Catch Spices from a being a Spice brand to a partner and solution provider in the housewife’s life. So once again, in this campaign, we picked on a real issue that exists in numerous homes and linked it to the superiority of our spices.”
NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
