DViO Digital Recreates Vande Mataram for Gaana
MUMBAI: On the occasion of India’s 71st Republic Day this weekend, DViO Digital conceptualized this recreation of Vande Mataram for a campaign for India’s favorite music streaming app.
India has always been hailed around the world for its unity and strength with a beautiful diversity seen across its landscape, food, people, religion, language & customs. This essence is what makes India, ‘INDIA’ with all of its beauty & exuberance. To celebrate India’s vibrancy in diversity Gaana unveiled ‘Vande Mataram- The National Song of India since 1950’.
This goosebump-inducing rendition, speaks to the soul of the nation & creates a shared space, cutting across the boundaries, to amalgamate different cultures together. This ode to our motherland, which played a vital role during the Indian Independence movement, has a renewed sense of significance during these dark days where there is an urgent need to rekindle the commitment, we as citizens have to our country.
This version of Vande Mataram features artists from nine different linguistic backgrounds that are Malayalam, Assamese, Urdu, Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Odia, Telugu & Bengali to portray that in spite of our regional differences, we have one united identity and that is – ‘ONE INDIA’. The imagery of the video which begins with black & white scenes through the lens of diversity then transforms into a colorful visual symbolizing the vision and hope for an integrated & vibrant future.
Prashan Agarwal , CEO of Gaana said, “Music is one of the few strains of humanity that has the sublime power to cut across cultures, faiths, and borders to evoke our shared sense of culture, folklore, and music. To that effect, we have curated playlists that bring out the flavor of our music and our people as we tip our hats to one of the greatest songs that celebrates our spirit of unity. This Republic Day, we invite every Indian to discover and celebrate the music of our nation – only on Gaana.”
Sowmya Iyer, Founder & CEO of DViO Digital commented, “Never before has there been a need to recommit to the sense of patriotism and India. DViO believes in bringing the wealth of artists from all over the country and brands together to create more unique co-branded content. And this was our initiative in that direction. Gaana is one of the most enterprising brand we have worked with who believe in promoting great talent and also regional music.
DViO Digital successfully executed this campaign in association with Qyuki, as the Artist connect partner & Kavit Mody Production as its Production partner.

Lego brings Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappé, Vinicius together
Campaign clocks 314 million views ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026 buzz.
MUMBAI: Four legends, one frame and not a single tackle in sight. Lego has pulled off a crossover few thought possible, uniting Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior in a single campaign ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026 only this time, they’re building dreams brick by brick.
Titled “Everyone wants a piece”, the campaign features the quartet assembling a Lego version of the World Cup trophy, before placing miniature versions of themselves atop it, a playful nod to football’s ultimate prize. Shared widely across social media, the ad carries a pointed disclaimer: it is not AI-generated, a subtle but telling signal in an era where even reality is often questioned.
The numbers tell their own story. The campaign has already crossed 314 million views on Instagram across the players’ accounts, with fans hailing it as a rare, almost nostalgic moment particularly for the reunion of Messi and Ronaldo, whose last shared campaign ahead of the 2022 World Cup became one of the platform’s most-liked posts.
Beyond the film, Lego is extending the play with exclusive, player-themed sets tied to each of the four stars, part of a broader football-led programme designed to ride the global momentum building towards 2026. The idea, as echoed by the players themselves, leans into the parallels between football and play experimentation, creativity, failure, and triumph.
Messi described the sets as a way to bring on-pitch moments into an imaginative, hands-on world, while Ronaldo called the transformation into a Lego figure a rare honour, blending sport with storytelling. Vinícius, meanwhile, struck a more personal note, recalling childhood moments of building with Lego and framing creativity as a universal language that transcends borders.
The timing is no accident. With the 2026 World Cup set to run from June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Canada and Mexico, and featuring an expanded 48-team format, global anticipation is already building. Argentina, led by Messi, will enter as defending champions, adding another layer of intrigue.
For Lego, the campaign does more than celebrate football, it taps into its mythology. Because when icons become figurines and rivalries turn into play, the beautiful game finds a new kind of pitch. one built, quite literally, by hand.
