Vishy Anand and D Gukesh in a new Myntra FWD ad
On 16th January 2025, fwd by Myntra released an 80 second ad featuring Vishy Anand and D Gukesh. An ad featuring two world champions from India is undoubtedly the most talked about thing on the internet among the chess universe. This is the first time ever Anand and Gukesh have appeared in a commercial motion advertisement. It is also the 18th world champion, Gukesh's commercial motion ad debut. Ever since the maestro became less active on the board, we got to see the humane side of him off the board in various aspects. CRED and Subway are the two ads which vividly come to mind. The fwd by Myntra ad is definitely fun and a must-watch for all. Have you seen it yet? Photo: fwd
Fun 80 seconds ad full of quips
We are in an era where people pay subscription fees to not watch ads. For e.g. a Youtube Premium subscriber does not get to see any ad. It is one of the perk of paying for the subscription. However, there are ads which are worth watching. One of them is certainly the latest fwd by Myntra ad. There are many hilarious lines. Watch the ad and find them.
Vishal Dayama, founder of Braindad, wrote and directed this ad beautifully.
Among the recent advertisements by the legend, Vishy Anand, Subway and Cred are the most popular ones.
Of course, advertisements have come a long way since Crocin ads were okay for that pre HD era, but in today's times, it is less appealing to the present day audience.
How many of you have seen the maestro's ad for AMD which is based on a true story?
Are there any more advertisements by the maestro Vishy Anand which we are forgetting? Let us know. We hope more brands utilize the fact that India has now two World Chess Champions.
