Watch: New unofficial Mauka Mauka ad for India-Australia match
There may have been just one original Mauka Mauka ad released during the ongoing T20 World Cup for the match against Pakistan, but a string of unofficial ones have been making up for that.
What started as a response to the morphed image of Bangladeshi pacer Taskin Ahmed carrying Indian skipper MS Dhoni's severed head looks to have transformed into a series of Mauka Mauka spoof ads.
The creators of the ads, V7 Pictures, have taken a cue from the popular series of commercials released on Star Sports during the 2015 World Cup and come up with a few of their own. While the first ad centered on the India-Bangladesh encounter and took both Pakistan and Bangladesh in its stride, the latest one has a new addition in the form of Australia.
A Pakistani and a Bangladeshi visit the office of a travel agency named Katle Travels in order to book tickets for their respective countries. The agent reveals to them that they will be eligible for a 25 per cent discount if they both book tickets together.
However, if three of them do a booking together, they will get 50 per cent discount. Taken aback for a while by what the agent said, they quickly gather their senses only to realize that an Australian is sitting there too.
The Australian boasts that he will not go and is here to play the finals. After a few moments of silence, the other two burst into laughter and the Pakistani asks the agent to book tickets for the three of them. While still laughing, he tells the Australian that he is willing to pay for his tickets.
The latest ad by V7 Pictures is a terrific sequel to the previous ad and is sure to send a tickle down the spine of Indian fans.
