My Favorite & Yours.. Old Door Darshan Ads

When I start recalling those Door Darshan ads from the 80s ad 90s, I can't help but recall Nirma to be the most easily remembered as there were so many versions of it and probably the most famous one.

washing powder nirma..
washing powder nirma
doodh ki safedi nirma se aaye
rangeen kapda bhi khil khil jaaye
sab ki pasand nirma!
washing powder nirma

Then there was another version of the goti/sabun that had a line like this one:

ab aap samjhe yeh tikiya maine kyon li?

That one had the line "ek sau pachaas gram ki tikiya ____ dhero kapda dhoye aur zyada chale..."

There was also one where the little girl from the billboard starts singing "suno suno aye babuji.. kapde kyon itne maile hai?"

Do you remember this one?

chehre ki sundarta ko nikhaare naya hamaam
se saaf rakhe tan ko de taazgi hamaam
yeh ghar ghar ka hai pyaara
hamaam hamaam hamaam!

fresca! fresca!
sundar suhana fresca khushbu ka khazana fresca!

tandurusti ki raksha karta hai lifebouy
lifebouy hai jahaan tanduristi hai wahaan!
LIFEBOUY!

I think my favorite one (music and singing wise) was the Liril one that started with a girl in white under waterfalls in a rain forest like place and singing "la.. la la la la la la la la la la la la.."

It's funny all the ads I remember on top of my head are of soaps. I know I'm forgetting Rin here.

There were the ones with Rasna, Maggie, Complan (I am a Complan boy *elbow poke* I am a Complan girl!), Boost (with Kapil Dev saying Boost is the secret of my energy), and my favorite of all Humara Bajaj.

Lakhani shoes

The song was based on "mera juta hai japani" song and ended with "..rang-birangi shoes lakhani, yeh hai campus shoes lakhani...".

Daabar laal dant-manjan

daanton ki kare hifaazat
moti sa chamkaaye
daabar laal dant-manjan se mukhda khil khil jaaye

arre raaju! tumhaare daant to motiyo jaise chamak rahe hai!
kyon na ho masterji.. main daabar ka laal dant-manjan jo istemaal karta hoon

Seema bulbs aur tubes

ghar ghar mein ujiyala laaye
seema seema seema

I think this was a Sridevi-ad

Oh my all time favorite:

jab main chhota baccha tha
badi sharaarat karta tha
jab meri chori pakdi jaati
tab roshan hota bajaaj!

ab main boodha.. (can't recall what goes here)
goli khaakar jeeta hoon
