The DS Group (Dharampal Satyapal Group), a multi-business corporation and a FMCG conglomerate, launched a new digital film for Catch “Kyunki Khana Sirf Khana Nahi Hota.” Conceptualised by Dentsu Creative and directed and produced by the Titus Upputuru Company, the film is centred around Catch salt and spices.
The touching digital film shows personified Moon begins with reflective thoughts on its role in the lives of couples, especially during the post-marriage Karwachauth festival. The film delves into the theme of waning romance over the years, contrasting the pre-marital days of couples, with the moon serving as a silent witness, against the backdrop of a married couple. The wife eagerly anticipates the Moon’s appearance, gazing out the kitchen window. The Moon’s attention shifts to another household, where a husband and wife rush to prepare for Karwachauth, but a noticeable change has occurred in their relationship. The man who equated his wife with the Moon at some time; now appears emotionally distant. The Moon, however, detects an enticing aroma in the air, leading it to explore the source within the house. Here, it discovers the couple passionately cooking, infusing romance into their culinary endeavours with ‘Catch Salt & Spices’. After the Karwa Chauth rituals, the Moon watches as the couple share a tender moment at the dining table. The husband draws a heartwarming parallel between his wife’s beauty and the moon.
The film closes with the Moon sneaking into the kitchen, savouring the meal prepared with Catch Salt and Spices. This digital film encapsulates the essence of Catch’s message, ‘Kyunki khana sirf khana nahi, Pyaar ko barqarar rakhne ka zariya bhi hota hai; Catch Masale har khane ki jaan… Happy Karwachauth’.
“We are delighted to introduce our new digital film, not only reaffirming our brand’s fundamental message, ‘Kyunki Khana Sirf Khana Nahi Hota,’ but also emphasising the importance of preparing delicious meals to celebrate festivals as significant as Karwachauth. We believe this digital film will strike a chord with our customers during this festival and reinforce the Catch brand as a trusted culinary companion,” Sandeep Ghosh, business head, DS Spiceco, said.
The digital film will be amplified across multiple digital touchpoints, including Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
“The occasion of Karwa Chauth is one of the most leveraged occasions for many brands. And we wanted to ride the wave too but in a cute and memorable way. And what better way to get the moon itself to become the film’s protagonist? It’s an idea that’s definitely going to stand out in the clutter, just like the moon which shines and stands apart in the sky,” Janmenjoy Mohanty, chief creative officer, Dentsu Creative North, said.
