This is a surrogate campaign for Seagram’s Royal Stag liquor. The ad features Saif Ali Khan, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Robin Utthapa as members of a band. Not able to get it right while jamming session, they plan to do something different to ‘Make it large’. All the crickers go to a mall where a mask man runs away with Dhoni’s bag and they chase him through different parts of the city. This generates curiousity and gathers crowd. And finally the robber removes his mask only to reveal that he is Saif and they perform in front of a large audience.

What a waste of money and resources ? It looks so artificial,lacks soul and definitely could do without so many celebrities. The sequence where the cricketers are running on top of bus reminded me of the Nike Cricket ad which was simply superb.
