Viacom18 has launched a new campaign film titled ‘The Neighbour’s Plea’ for the ongoing two-Test series between India and Bangladesh. The film humorously builds upon Bangladesh’s recent historic victory in Pakistan, where they clean-swept the Test series, causing significant disappointment among Pakistani fans.
The campaign cleverly taps into the post-defeat frustration in Pakistan, where fans now hope for India to avenge Bangladesh’s success. The film portrays a mix of Pakistani cricket fans, experts, students, and club cricketers, all pleading for India to win against Bangladesh, showcasing their support in a light-hearted and satirical manner.
Shot in a ‘talking heads’ style, the film captures a series of conversations, with individuals voicing their frustration and unconditional support for India in hopes of overcoming Bangladesh in the current Test series. The film brings a fresh narrative, leveraging cricket rivalry and shared emotions to create an engaging storyline.
Viacom18’s innovative campaign adds a playful dynamic to the India-Bangladesh series, resonating with cricket enthusiasts across the region while maintaining a spirited tone.
