Tanishq TVC film with Nayanthara celebrates glittering gold & abundant auspiciousness
MUMBAI: Tanishq, India’s trusted jewellery brand has launched a new TVC campaign targeting its large customer base in Tamil Nadu. The new TVC, featuring Southern superstar and face of Tanishq South, Nayanthara will showcase Tanishq’s strong understanding of the consumer, culture and customs from a local perspective. This new TVC campaign aims to bring alive that Tanishq is at the heart of every auspicious celebration, which is rooted deep within the cultural context of Tamil Nadu.
Conceptualized with Lowe, the 60-second film has Nayanthara joining the celebration in different occasions – first birthday of a child, baby shower and golden wedding anniversary. To add more local flavour, the eclectic montage is set to the tune of ‘Kummi adi’, a traditional Tamil folk song which is an integral part of all celebrations from weddings to smaller ceremonies at home.
Speaking about the film, Titan Company associate vice president– marketing, jewellery division Deepika Tewari said, “Tamil Nadu has always been one of our primary focus markets because of our history with the state and the fact that we started our journey by establishing our first store in Chennai and our factory is also located at Hosur. Tanishq's traditional designs and craftsmanship are a perfect fit with the jewellery preference of Tamil Nadu. The film is an attempt to tell our customers how deep-rooted we are as a jeweller, in every joyous and auspicious moment in their life. To crown it all, Nayanthara, with her elegance and striking beauty brings more glitter to the film, just like our brand.”
Quoting about the film, Lowe Lintas NCD Sagar Kapoor said, “With a large line of jewellery players in Tamil Nadu, Tanishq needed a strong emotional connect to win the hearts of Tamil Nadu. The films speaks a simple language of connections by reaffirming the rooted Tamil identity through a popular Tamil folk song ‘Kummi adi’, a folk song which is an integral part of all celebrations from weddings to smaller ceremonies at home. The film features Nayanthara at her graceful and elegant best adding a touch of joy to every auspicious celebration.”
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.
