Watch: Cadbury recreates its iconic ‘Kuch Khaas hai’ ad with a twist

British multinational confectionery company Cadbury has a special connection with the gentlemen’s game in India. In 1994, Cadbury had rocked the entire cricket fraternity by creating an iconic advertisement. In the historic ad, the renowned model Shimona Rashi could be seen enjoying the cricket match in the stadium while eating a bar of Cadbury dairy milk.

As the match was heading towards its conclusion, the on-strike batsman, presumably her boyfriend, smashed a six to take his team home. As soon as the ball went past the boundary line, Rashi jumped in joy. She went past the entire security staff to celebrate the victory by dancing on the field to the tunes of Kuch Khaas Hai, by Shankar Mahadevan.

Almost three decades later, Cadbury made a comeback with the recreation of their old yet famous advertisement. This time around, the brand decided to keep the theme and the song the same but gave a new twist to the entire concept with the gender swap. In the country, where cricket is majorly synonyms with men, Cadbury has launched a commercial showcasing Women’s matches.
