Analysis Of Muaka Mauka
Juju Basu, Editor of Star Sports Channel
Star house, Urmi Estate, 95 Ganpatrao Kadam Marg,
Lower Parel (west), Mumbai.

Dear Editor, I am writing to tell you about the effect of your advertisement called “Muaka Mauka”, which your TV channel broadcasted during the 2015 cricket world cup on the people of the other of the border (Pakistan). Am writing to you, with a broken heart, to show how your advertisement hurt the feeling of millions of people and why you need to stop making these types of advertisements in the future to avoid these type of events to occur.

As cricket is the most played and watched game in both Pakistan and India, people of these countries watch it very passionately. One day during the world cup matches I …show more content…
At first look, the advertisement may appear as normal. However, this advertisement implies more than what is being seen by the audience. After seeing my younger brother reaction to this advertisement, I thought of how this way of communication has created chaos between the people of these countries. Therefore I decided to write a letter to explain why this advertisement is inappropriate and why you should take action against …show more content…
He is very disappointed as his team loses the match against India and is being unable to light the firecrackers. The video shows him grow older over the years, still saving up the firecrackers and waiting for his mauka (chance) to burst them, while his team fails to defeat India in any of the subsequent World Cups. The video ends at the conclusion of the 2011 Cricket World Cup semifinal with the supporter, who is now married and has a child, asking his son with a broken heart, "Kab phodenge yaar?" which means when will we burst the crackers, buddy? The advertisement refers to Pakistan losing to India in all five matches at the World Cup prior to 2015. The advertisement is not only insulting the Pakistani cricket team, but it is also demotivating the team just because of not winning any match against the Indian team. The famous news channel of Pakistan “The Express Tribune” wrote that the campaign "had successfully ignited a ‘healthy’ sporting rivalry in the most subtle way as possible. Therefore we can conclude that this advertisement has hurt the feeling of millions of people and has created hate for the Indian people because in response to this advertisement the Pakistani media also created such commercials to take the

    The onion Rhetorical

    With the use of criticism, this press release is used to satirize how advertisement is degrading to Americans, and to mock the ordeal methods used by marketers to sell products to consumers as absurd. By using obvious fictional fads, and somewhat surprisingly effective persuasive writing skills, this article is humorous and completely irrelevant. However with the correct use of persuasive writing techniques, mixed with irrelevant, and unrealistic factual information the authors create a humorous satirical scene.…

    Visual Rhetoric

    This advertisement shows a gun on the left and a cell phone on the right covered in blood. There is not a lot going in this advertisement, but the few things that it has are powerful and don’t require a lot of explaining. Above the objects are two words, which say, “Russian Roulette” and on the bottom is a small paragraph of how texting and driving can kill and the consequences of doing so. This advertisement shows the negative effects of what can happen when someone decides to text and drive. The font that was chosen gives a serious tone and tells the viewer that this message is important.…

    Organ Donation Rhetorical Analysis

    The tone used to convey the message is a very serious one, as made evident by the stern expression on the male modeling for the picture, as well as the lack of color. The image does not ask any questions, instead choosing to instill its message with facts and a command, relying on the viewer to both use their logic to think about how their actions could impact others, and to listen to the advice given by the ad which comes from a trusted source. Through this analysis, one can gather that the advertisers are using logos and ethos to appeal to the viewer. When all this is considered, the message given through the straight, black and white font has a deeper impact,…

    Boroplus Case

    On a fine Monday morning on August 26th 2011, work was at its peak at the Kolkata Head office of Emami Ltd. Mr. Subir Sen (Sen) was sitting at his desk with an advertisement running on his desktop which showed actor Amitabh Bachchan[1] (Amitabh), the brand ambassador of Emami. Sen had completed his MBA in Marketing from the ICM, Calcutta, and had joined Emami Ltd. under the Boroplus brand as a Brand Executive. The advertisement he was watching showed Amitabh in a crisp white kurta[2] applying a white dot on his cheeks. This was followed by a visual of various parts of India, right from Kashmir (North) to Kanyakumari (South) and Rajasthan (West) to West Bengal (East). The ad went on to show that people from all origin were applying the white dot on their cheeks. The whole clip was made more attractive with melodious background music whose lyrics were ‘Lagate Hain Safed Teeka’ (means: apply the white dot). The white dot/streak was the “Safed Teeka” of Boroplus Antiseptic Cream, a flagship brand of the Emami Ltd. The tagline of the ad went on to say ‘Boroplus ka safed teeka, taki sardi ki nazar na lage’ which means Boroplus white streak would prevent one from the evil effects of cold. The ad was a part of a new campaign where Emami was planning to try out a new advertising strategy (Refer Exhibit I for the ad storyboard). The commercial made Sen ponder over the objective which led to the creation of the ‘Safeed Teeka’ campaign. As a newcomer, Sen had been given two responsibilities.…
