And its been a rare example of professionals striking a good understanding on the overall brand objectives - Cinevistaas Ltd. for its more practical approach and being a solutions oriented co. In fact the credit goes to the overall teamwork between the Director Rohan Sippy and his associate Aniket, Anurag at Cinevistaas and the Agency team - where the inputs were symbiotic in its end purpose.

Panasonic A100 mobile phone is all about a hip youth and his dream, and luckily for us the brief was well understood by the young team on board from Production house as well as the Director Rohan himself, and the value inputs that came up during the production.

The ad is refreshing, and has caught the attention in the first day itself, of its telecast. This represents the first glimpse of the refreshed energy Unleashed by Panasonic, and we are sure this sets the tone for the Brand on its path of rejuvenation."
