Flipkart, in collaboration with SW Network, a leading advertising agency, and SW Studios (Production House), has launched a humorous and nostalgic campaign for its Black Friday Smartphone Sale. The campaign features Bollywood comedy legend Arshad Warsi, who recreates a famous scene from the cult classic movie Golmaal, with a modern twist that ties into Flipkart’s incredible deals on smartphones.
Inspired by the name "Black" Friday, the campaign takes a creative cue from the iconic "Black scene" in Golmaal. The choice of Arshad Warsi for this campaign was intentional, leveraging his comedic timing to enhance the connection between the nostalgic scene and the exciting Black Friday offers. His well-known line, “Lagta hai smartphones ke prices girne wale hain,” humorously references his original dialogue while promoting Flipkart’s unbeatable deals on premium smartphones.

Directed by Jaunty, Business Head of SW Studios, the campaign expertly combines nostalgia, humour, and Flipkart’s Black Friday message. The result is a visual experience that is both entertaining and impactful, ensuring the message resonates with audiences while tapping into the excitement of the seasonal sale.

Our aim was to craft a campaign that would appeal to both movie lovers and shoppers alike. By blending nostalgia with Flipkart's narrative, we wanted to create an unforgettable experience that captures the essence of Black Friday."
