Wonder Cement launches #EkPerfectShuruaat TVC on new beginnings
Mumbai: Wonder Cement has launched a new TVC titled ‘Jab Dil Mein Ho Jazbaat, Toh Hoti Hai #EkPerfectShuruaat.’ The ad film, shot at the exotic location of Pahalgam in Kashmir, is directed by acclaimed Bollywood director Kabir Khan.
The ad follows the heartwarming story of a granddaughter who is pained to see her grandmothers’ house get washed away by a natural calamity and how she strives to rebuild not only that house but the entire settlement. For this purpose, the granddaughter invites support from her circle of engineering college batchmates to come and participate in rebuilding the houses and bringing back smiles on the faces of all those who got impacted by the flood.
The film is scripted by Subramani Ramachandran from Bombbay Vision and on-ground execution by Sadanand Parulekar from FSIV.
“Jab Dil Mein Ho Jazbaat, Toh Hoti Hai #EkPerfectShuruaat – This line being so strong and powerful is really sharing the Wonder Cement spirit,” said Wonder Cement managing director Kiran Patil. “We are delighted with the TVC and are confident that it will hit a chord with the customer. The ad showcases all emotions of restarting again – of making a perfect shuruaat.”
Sharing the company’s vision of ‘doing bigger and better things at the company and for our customers,’ Wonder Cement director Vivek Patni remarked, “This TVC is nothing but a step towards celebrating the same. The location, the production team, the story and the message are all at par with the grandeur that we want to achieve. We are aiming towards nothing short of perfection in this and the future attempts to come.”
“Life is unpredictable and difficulties can strike us anytime. However, it’s not what has happened that matters, but how we bounce back from it. This TVC brings exactly this out. We can rebuild, rejuvenate if we just have the will – if we just have the jazbaat,” added Wonder Cement brand mentor Tarun Singh Chauhan.
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.
