Description:
Every year, during Durga Puja, the largest religious festival in the Eastern part of India, the streets of Kolkata are bedazzled with animated crowds of happy, tired faces marching from one Durga installation structure (pandal) to the next.

For five days, the city gorges on lights, love and delicacies, only to wash them down with chilled bottles of beverages. Beverage bottles are shared, they fuel conversations and unlock new friendships. The role of a bottle of beverage in the journey across pandals and experiences of Pujo is undeniable, it witnesses just about anything to do with the festive celebrations.

In spirit, that is what the Pujo communication captures through this campaign.

Coca Cola's brief was to spotlight its iconic bottle's role in enhancing the Pujo experience.

Our solution was a commercial that took the viewers on a nostalgic journey into what it means to celebrate Pujo, it's sights, sounds, food, fervour and people, all with Coke right at the centre!

The track was created by taking inspiration from traditional Bengali Baul genre and by infusing contemporary beats and traditional Bengali instruments like the Tanpura, Khamak, Ek-tara, and especially Dhaak (Bengali Drums) and Kaashor (Bengali Cymbals) which are mainly used during Durga Pujo. This was layered with sounds created from Coke bottles and cans.Foley sounds heard across the festival of Durga Pujo were recreated in the sound studio and used as a part of the sound design and track.
