Responsible, virtual, joi de vivre – Brands’ Holi ads reflect life in the new normal

The festival of colours is here to spread some cheer amid the rising cases of COVID-19 in a second wave across the country. TMoj – be it celebrating Holi responsibly or virtually while being distanced from friends and family. We saw the Surf Excel Holi ad where colours have been used as a medium of ‘togetherness’.
