This ad was way ahead of its time

Kerala tourism doing some vere level things 10 year back...mind = blown🔥🤯

എന്താ നിങ്ങൾ എടുത്തു വച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന അതും ഇത്രയും വർഷങ്ങൾക്ക് മുമ്പ്😍🙏

This is, without any doubt, my favourite Kerala Tourism advertisement. Kerala is a destination that is the exception, not the travel norm. Please continue to show Kerala as it should be shown, in a class all of its own. Kerala is unique, this is its edge. Anywhere in Asia can be the next Bali or Thailand but Kerala has something special and this deserves to be highlighted and celebrated.

This is the most underrated ad from Kerala Tourism. It has something beyond words to express.

This is one of the best videos ever made by Kerala Tourism. Ever after all these years, it remains a gem.

Kerala Tourism is in fact doing a good job in the arena of digital transformation. We can very well reap the benefits ... Good wishes to all planners , developers & promoters of KERALA Tourism.

Omg. This video was shot 11 years back. Hatts off to your creative team.

Ippalathe okke videography poolind can't believe it was shot 11yrs ago😱hands off to the director🙌

Kerala :Gateway to ancient India! Love it

This ad is a pure gold , the picturisation and music is beyond its time. Will be seen beyond it Times in 2100 as well.

Till today this music stirs the soul. What a classic song

2022 still one of the best Ad !!

Saw this Advertisement while learning Management back in 2008/9 & touched soul... ❤ Even Tata Safari Ads were beyond Horizon.

This was the best add, Baba Mall's voice is awesome...

Beautiful

Love the cinematography ❤️

Ithinde cinematographer aaranen ariyan vazhi indo, such amazing compositions. more than an ad it feels like an artwork.

Kerala Has Always Bin On My Wish List!..Maybe In My Next Life! lol

Watching this after the prakash varma's wonderwall media interview

Can’t believe it’s a 12 years piece of art! I guess this movie is directed by Prakash Varma.

Honestly the people who have visited Kerala before or are Keralites, in short can relate to Kerala in anyway will find this video amazing. But those of us who have not been to Kerala ever, might find the video a lil scary. 🙈 so I guess a lil different way of advertising would do great wonders. Considering the beauty of Munnar, allepy and all. Hope you find this useful.

Damn.. this deserves a lot more views.

Beautiful ❤️ truly invokes a feeling !

Spine chilling

Coming on way🤟

I live outside Kerala now and I root for this 😭

One of the finest ads ever made anywhere!!

This ad is absolutely a masterpiece. Among many other things, also because it takes a brown skin's perspective when promoting tourism, different from the conventional white man's perspective approach

Spectacular

@keralatourism can you please find the HD quality version of the same video and make an update ?

❤️❤️

❤️

Please share the team behind this ad. Director and cinematographer.

I Love this Concept...I've been to these places in Kerala a lot of times and each time is a new experience. This Film is Full of meanings for which we would have to come out of the SHELL and tell the World 'What you saw is not what you Knew'.... This Video is trying to be different from others by saying "Pretty pictures do not make a destination, but Experiences make it".

Fantastic Video! Way to go Kerala!! Love from Maharashtra :)

one of the most spectaculor ad tht i've seen in recent times simply awesome......

this is one of the most amazing videos I have seen for a long time. Truly inspirational cinematography by Mohanan. Franz

PROUD TO BE A KERALITE

This is the most amazing video I have seen made about Kerala. Its a revolutionary new take and wonderfully directed. This will appeal to the foreign audience. They are always looking for places with that spiritual and mystic element. The majority of Kerala's population is still not mature enough to appreciate something like this. But well, they arent the intended audience. So Hats off to the Director and team!

Beautiful film that evokes deep emotions. Very commendable of kerala tourism to make such a mature and experimental film. I am sure it will attract tourists as well as create curiosity about about the place. It is time we learnt to appreciate true works of art such as this instead of falling back on traditional responses .. being too scandalized to explore our inner selves. My heart-felt good wishes and congratulations to the Film Director.

this is pure brilliance, concept and the way its taken beautifully. wow!

this is awesome campaign and delightful project, when I first saw the part of it in TLC, felt really good thinking the enrich resources of India and being part of it! thanks for enormously representing Indian heritage abroad.

ufff.... I couldn't breath for 3 minutes..... not only the best ad, one of THE BEST VIDEO I've EVER SEEN.... FANTASTIC, Out of words....

awesome.....classic.....great job done by stark team....we r proud f u...really keeping international standards......

all i can admit is that i have a lecturer who hails from this part of India, and proud to see something that's inviting others to visit Kerala.

Amazing ad, makes me want to visit

Great video, thanks for posting. And a beautiful song too - Baaba Maal really is a great vocalist!!!

Its the best ad of any Tourism Dept in India. I luv it.

Oh my god..Prakash you have outdone everything i have seen in the last year..i cried during this film.. i dont have words to describe how beautiful and perfect everything is!!!! kudos to you and the entire nirvana team...

This is one of the best ads i have ever come across. THe first time I saw it on T.V i had goosebumps. Never has there been an y advertisement which has moved me so deep. I was to meet the team and may be even work with them who conceived such a masterpiece.

this is an amazing ad, so much different to how kerala is usually advertised..I think it's just awesome.

this is really amazing!! hats off to the team for trying to show a Kerala without "coconut trees" a kerala with lesser green..... the scene were the theyyam sits close to her and telling stories are awesome... truly a marvelous work!!!

It has got our culture in it. and i think, that is something beyond backwaters and waterfalls. a perfect reflection. great work!

Kerala is waiting for your visit

Its a wonderfully presented campaign...excellent photography too.

this is just pure brilliance...concept and the beautiful way its taken. wow!

Gr8 visuals..enchanting locale....come to God's own country for the ultimate vacation

I never knew tis part of Kerala does exists too?? After watchin tis trust me, I'm makin plan to visit KERALA at d earliest :) :) Kerala, is truly a God's own countryyy

an excellent depiction of Kerala, a place to awaken your senses and sooth your frayed nerves.

thank heavens they didn't pull up the 'green' color during editing!!!! LOVE THE VISUALS, this is what kerala is about, this is one reason im proud of my home

Beautiful work here.... Thank you

The colours of Kerala delivered in the best possible way................ Amazing.......... even if it an adaptation of the Ashes and snow Mexican Tourism ad this is really close to my heart...............

and yes I really loved the tag line " Your moment is waiting" . Its so inviting to Kerela. :))

Out of the box thinking and presentation, some may find it hard to digest. The locations and picturisation is fantastic, hats off to the team for the immaculate production. I felt that the beautiful model, a face that catches ones attention for sure is very different from the typical Malayali face. The background score had sounded like a fusion of Hindustani/ African/ Carnatic & bit of Western music. The traditional art forms & customs were the ones reminding of stereotype Kerala :)

saftey of tourist is being said by all most all the tourist destinations. This ad reflects the next level of marketing that is experience marketing. People go for vacation not just for fun but also for relaxation and to rejuvenate their body and mind. Brilliant work

There is ordinary, then there is genius. This video is nothing short of perfection. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for showing me what light and magic are really about. Best regards, Bill

very nice video sequences - thanks and good luck

wonderfull video........

Incredible piece of work from Prakash Varma !! Really outstandiNG....

Thanks for making such a brilliant video on Kerala. Please come and visit Kerala and relish the experience of a lifetime.

Love the focus on the characters, especially the elephant part .. Sio serene, & the film just comes alive. So different from any of the earlier videos.. hatsoff

awesome video....nicely portrayed by prakash...

beautiful....

Brilliant job guys. 3 cheers to stark and the nirvana team. Wonderful job done. And I am proud to belong there

Awesome Amazing Ad! The music was out of this world!

stunning. elements of inspiration can be seen from ashes and snow =)

Simply Beautiful!

excellent, covers all cultres of kerala

I love this video. I think it's brilliant. I watched it on TLC & forgot that I was actually watching TV! As far as the accusations that it's a rip off of "estrellas del bicentenario televisa" anybody who has seen those videos can tell you that those ads were focused on the models & some locations... whereas this is about the feeling & the culture of Kerala. The only thing they have in common is a slow background score.

wow ! incredible Kerala. backwater is magnificent.

gr8 video...so haunting

Shots with the elephant is excellent !

absolutely brilliant work!! Good initiative !!

nothing to say ........... just amazing

A very bold move from the Kerala Tourism Team. Totally different from all previous Ads. A mystical and spiritual feel. I get what this ad is trying to convey since I am from Kerala. But I have a feeling lot of people, especially who have never been to Kerala may not though. One has to experience the Kathakali/Theyam art forms to get that spiritual feeling. For first timers it can be spooky.

Surrealism redifined!! wt a commercial..so different n unlike a normal tourism commercial. hard to believe its made in india. Music fits in jus fine. visuals are superb! best kerala tourism commercial so far!! the makers have done a super job..!!!

wow.........very nice campaign... proud to say its my native......... there should be more such videos with beaches of Kerala river

i luv this music....

This looks beautiful. Fantastically shot and really atmospheric.
