Back To School: Indian Advertisements That Will Make You Nostalgic For The '90s [Videos]

Just in case you thought you’d be allowed to forget Homegrown X KRUNK’s ‘Back To School’ Flux party this Friday, think again. We have a series of ‘90s throwback posts ready for you this week that will have you break out those dungarees and dance like the Counting Crows are watching. Last week, we kicked it all off by featuring a portion of the lineup, Paloma Monnappa’s, ‘90s playlist which you can listen to right here but here’s a little something to get that nostalgia going--Indian advertisements from the era you couldn’t forget if you wanted to!

I. Amul Doodh Doodh Piyo Glass full
The iconic “doodh doodh” tune defined our childhood- we invariably hummed along when we saw this ad play on TV!  Not only did AMUL successfully start a healthy trend with its tagline “piyo glass full”- it made it look cool.

II. Action School Time
How can we possibly forget this one? “Action ka school time” was a 90’s favorite, which had young children identify with all the quirks of school- including those black shiny shoes!

III. Sundrop Oil
The Sundrop oil ad created a new universe in ad-making with its visual effects that had a small boy immersed in the world of food, luring us with its appetizing appearance! IV. CLASSIC TOOTHBRUSH
This classic ad was famous for its jingle “lal kaala peela..gulabi hara neela”, which is still etched in our minds till today!

IV. Classic Toothbrush
This classic ad was famous for its jingle “lal kaala peela..gulabi hara neela”, which is still etched in our minds till today!

V. Maggi
The famed “two minute noodles” ad had you persuaded with its endearing tone - and you cant possibly miss all those children screaming their lungs out for their favourite noodles!

VI. Complan
Yep. This Complan ad definitely hits a nostalgic spot with its “But I’m growing mummy!”

VII. Jaipan

Its safe to say, we know women are talking about mixer grinders- when they say “I want a revolution!” This Jaipan has imprinted itself as one of the most impressionable ads of the 90’s.
