Kurkure has unveiled its latest positioning, ‘Chatpate Se Sab Patein’ as a stance against conformity, encouraging individuals to embrace their originality.
The TVC features brand ambassador Sara Ali Khan.
With ‘Chatpate Se Sab Patein’, the brand aims to inspire individuals to liberate themselves from the pressures of a set culture and wholeheartedly embrace the freeing spirit of anti-hustle. Embracing a balanced lifestyle over relentless work, this culture reflects a collective desire for well-being and fulfilment, challenging traditional notions of success with a more holistic approach.
The TVC kicks off with Khan as a bride, looking radiant on her wedding day, standing on the stage. When her boss, Sanjay, gets on the stage to congratulate her, it results in a delightful exchange, he cheekily accuses Khan of not answering his phone in the morning. This elicits her witty "Sanjay" comebacks as she bites a pellet of Kukure.
Transitioning into a flashback where she humorously cites examples of the different uncalled-for situations created by her boss and each of her family members comically contributing these instances to Sanjay with synchronised chants.
Khan, in good spirits, jests about the reason her phone is always busy, the person who wishes her good morning before her mother, the person who keeps chanting longer than her grandmother and the person who will unexpectedly be third wheeling on her honeymoon with Sanjay being at the epicentre of all these situations.
The revelation of Sanjay as her boss results in a playful interaction, leaving the wedding guests in laughter. The TVC concludes with Sanjay claiming that he’s just her boss and only wants ‘kaam’ with a swift and witty reply from Sara- That’s right Sir, CalmDown! The scene effortlessly transitions to the satisfying crunch of Chatpate Kurkure, emphasising the tagline – ‘Chatpate Se Sab Patein’.
Khan said, “What is life without a harmonious work-life balance? Honestly, for me, it is nothing! Kurkure’s 'Chatpate Se Sab Patein’ brilliantly takes on the cause of championing a balanced life with a twist of humour and relatability. I truly enjoyed playing a part in such a strong and often ignored narrative taken up by Kurkure. I’m sure our viewers will resonate with the feeling of having a ‘Sanjay’ in their life and my one mantra to all of them will be- Stay calm, bite into your favourite Kurkure and let the fun unfold.”
Aastha Bhasin, Category Lead, Kurkure, PepsiCo India, said, “Kurkure, India’s cherished snack brand, has woven itself into the fabric of India households through its quirky taglines and compelling narratives over the years. As a brand that strives on its close connection with its consumers, we realised the challenges that come with conformism and a fast-paced hustle culture. Backed by this very insight, we’re thrilled to introduce our fresh positioning - ‘Chatpate Se Sab Patein’. Infused with a dash of humour and cheek, this positioning encourages individuals to liberate themselves from the shackles of conformity and embrace a balanced life. Rooted in Kurkure's creative essence, our campaign film, starring Sara, masterfully captures the heart of this narrative. She not only impeccably embodies the protagonist's role but also infuses authenticity and relatability into the storyline, staying true to Kurkure's distinctive and flavorful identity.”
Vikram Pandey (Spiky), National Creative Director, Leo Burnett, said, “Kurkure as a brand has always encouraged its consumers to make brave choices albeit with its signature quirky humour. With this film, we wanted to use this humour to land an important message against toxic conformity. One such example that our film brings to life is that of toxic bosses. Often working long hours has been seen as a badge of honour, but in reality, it takes away from precious family time. Kurkure encourages everyone to break these toxic cycles as #ChatpateSeSabPatein.”
