Vintage Ads, that defined Television for the 90’s Kids.

Even after almost two decades of being aired on television, advertisements from the 90s refuse to fade away from our memories. They were so catchy and relatable that often times, we used to watch an entire episode of a serial waiting for our favourite TV commercial to appear. One thing that was common in the 90s commercials was that they celebrated life. The delightful music was a treat to the ears and filled our otherwise boring days with a much-needed doze of energy. Let's re-visit the advertisements that are close to our hearts: 1. Kisan Jam This ad showed us the mischievous side of Rahul Dravid and oh! How much we adored him. https://youtu.be/ac04hnPxl8A 2. Milky Bar- Give Me the Power Remember how these bunch of kids find the Milky Bar in space and get rid of the devil? https://youtu.be/rqidoomE4N0 3.Complan This Complan ad featuring Shahid Kapoor and Ayesha Takia is undoubtedly one of the most popular 90s ads.
