The CID duo is back, but this time in Godrej Superia's digital ad film created by JWT.
Remember ACP Pradyuman's famous dialogue, "Daya, darwaza tod do," from Sony Entertainment Television's show CID with Daya actually breaking the door? Well, the duo is now in an animated digital ad by Godrej Security Solutions for its product Superia, which is a safe. The ad has been conceptualised by JWT India.
