Berger Paints’ Khushrangi Ad Replaces Celebrities With Nostalgic Colour
Berger Paints made a new advertisement about a cheerful clown named Khushrangi.
Khushrangi’s name means “happy colour.”
He keeps smiling even when difficult things happen to him.
He misses a bus, walks through rain and gets covered in dust.
But his colours stay bright and the dust falls away.
This shows how Berger says its paints can stay attractive and protected.
The advertisement uses old-fashioned television pictures and circus images to remind people of childhood.
Berger may use Khushrangi again, while celebrities will still appear in some other advertisements.
Berger Paints has introduced Khushrangi, a colourful circus clown, as the central character in its ‘Rang Bana Rahe’ campaign.
The character replaces the brand’s usual celebrity-led approach in this advertisement, though celebrities will appear in other Berger campaigns.
The commercial shows Khushrangi retaining his colours through missed transport, rain, heat, dust and other difficulties.
The campaign promotes Berger’s protective-coating products, including HomeShield, WeatherCoat Anti Dust and Easy Clean.
Its old television ratio, circus setting, pastel visuals and multilingual versions aim to evoke nostalgia among Indian audiences.
