  • So what? I mean seriously there are other pressing issues. Gosh men are such whiners now.

  • Doesn't it say that men have more privilege on freedom than women?

  • Good ad, but what so funny in this act?

  • excellent job guys! brutal enough to question the dogma!

  • I dont get it!!! *looks frustrated*

    men are not free but we talk about freedom for women!???

    where is the damned connection... im not saying this ad is chauvinistic. It just doesnt make any sense.!!!

  • This ad is disgustingly full of male privilege. Males have more privileges than women do and for this ad to suggest that male "freedom" should come before, as it does, is completely disgusting. Women can't walk around streets safely at daytime let alone night time and this ad thinks that males are the oppressed class. God how disgusting.

    If as someone else commented that this ad has more to do with traditional values than the last part completely destroyed that message. This needs to be redone

  • awwwww..

  • well mr. sangal i am a true ad viewer, esp. indian ads... this ad is a true picture of realistic life freedom, this ads talks about a small freedom but its we the people who organizes like a cell in a body , creating a country. Whosoever is the creator of this ad hs wide range of creation.

    cheers buddy

  • how was this funny

    whats going on no subtitles?

    ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • code red ads are brilliantly made ya .....they have great concept... it goes straight in your mind and heart without much words..  wonderful ad...

  • good ad...

  • it means, firstly the males freedom is to b implemented, then the that of the females,

    why?

  • i live in Canada family concept , respect of elders dont exist any more because of too much freedom to much freedom is bad for family concept ,and respect of elders cuz when youth decide there own fate they they lack many experiences of life that there parents have got so in order for them lead healthy family life parents should be involved in any decision making we are indian we are not some white shit without believes and culture.white people take there parents to court for 100 $ owed

  • i am Indian living in Canada , in western culture new generations, family concept , respect is destroyed completly you know why . fake freedom AZADI or just too much azadi , when youth decide there own fate what they lack is experties of there elders that they have gained in many years there fore elders or parents ( yes or no ) IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT THERE SHOULD BE MIX OF openion from children and parents

  • Yo very nice bro.... ver nice

    

  • coderedreel is doing a great job....

  • for people who are going berserk about women's rights regarding this ad: get a life and more importantly a conscious brain. This is one of the most realistic ads ever. I am grateful to the creator of this ad. Thank you.

  • @randominitializer Thank you for your support , team codered.

  • @coderedreel i just simply love the codered ads! respect from Toronto.

  • @randominitializer yes very real! agreed! Is it thought provoking? yes does it help? NO! why? Because we should be working on equality for all, to break race color creed the basic rights of democracy that gandhi fought for instead of pitting men against women, freedom should be for all! Just my democratic opinion!

  • @randominitializer If you would feel us in, in what it says for those who do not speak Hindu. Thank you

  • ho ho ho ho ho man what an ad superb

  • ho ho ho ho ho man what an ad superb

  • Thanks! Let us know if you need help with translation.

  • Its so true...:(

  • ye fight kis batt pa hu rahee hai bahi ,.....;-)

  • hahahahaha

  • I suffered this. My bf's parents did the same thing :'(

  • @dearkitkat I have witnessed the same situation countless times in my family. Believe it or not, none of the girls in the family who wanted love marriage failed at getting their loved ones at the end. But there were unfortunate young males in the family who had to give up their girls because of their parents' craziness. In an Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani society men enjoy no more freedom than women, if not less. The so called activists turn a blind eye on the men's rights though.

  • HHAAA HAAAAH HHAAAA HEAVY JOSS ADD

  • i think the ad intends to talk about 'freedom' as an undivided concept between the sexes. why should freedom be delivered in installments.. separately to men and to women.

    also, people who just expect the guy to stand up to his dad disregarding the consequences, are turning a blind eye to the fact that individuals of both sexes are under a lot of social pressure.

  • @V22293888 man try to think maturely. There is no message against women in this ad. It is simply using rhetoric to reflect an important social message. Beside, all the societies that give women a lot of rights and freedom, first went through a social change in the freedom of men. Men are important part of the society. Without improving the quality of men's right, it is utterly impossible to change the status of women in any human societies. There is no implication here on separate movement!

  • this ad is about social freedom ... not about women vs men freedom... no gender can truly free if the other is not... men cant be free if women are not and vice versa...

  • "boys don't have freedom and we talk about women's right". I don't necessarily think that this is against women freedom, although one might as well argue on that. But on the other hand one could also interpret it as that it is even hard of guys in our patriarchal society, so one could imagine how difficult could it be for women to set themselves from social expectations.

  • someone please tell me what the dad is saying,,

  • I don't think there is a rule that men have to get independence before women. In practice, women have more guts than men to stand up for themselves.

  • lmao boys ko freedom mile nahi aur baat kartey hu azadi ki LMAO great ad

  • good... well said... [:)]

  • Is this ad against women freedom? Correct me if i am wrong. Cos what the guy said at the end is like "boys dont have freedom and we talk about women's right".

    If it is so, its the guys mistake for not speaking up to his dad.

  • Brilliant way to bring the notice...

    I am suffering somethin similar in my life... but its from girls parents and not mine..

    Any other awareness aid that I can use in my conditions?

  • well, stand up and say "NO"

    ou might want to make sure you have enough financial stability to face the drama for 7 days before they actually listen to you.

  • @liveevery if reality were that easy then this ad would not have been made.

  • huhuhuhu beccchaaaara.........

  • reallly good add

  • Yes we do. What are you talking about? Ours are bit different, lets say covered up, because of the social composition.

  • Hahhah, after a few commercials I just watched, I am beginning to love Indians, now. :) I'm from Pakistan, here we don't see such witty as well as meaningful ads.

  • @TheSolitaryRex: There is a reason for it, my friend. [I'd better on write on the public forum..;-)].

  • @TheSolitaryRex :) have fun :)

  • hahahah.......

  • awspme concept but i m lucky not to have a parents like that

  • oh okkk 1:09 to 1:14 means that Boys comes first and then girls right?

    Its important that boys first get freedom...aur baad mein ladkiyon ka dekha jayea...right?

    In an awarness ad atleast they could have begun(or assumed) with girls and boys being equal beings.....and then talk about "Awareness"

    Dumb commercial.

  • Well, no. I guess, it's a renowned perception in South Asia that men are dominant in our society, so this ad has shown the true picture that neither men nor women enjoy the fullest of freedom here.

  • brilliant!

  • somthin funny....

  • Sounds like he is talking about caste too . . . all that chidiyan kaboothar business

  • ha ha thats not it bro using cast and racial things on tv is illegal ~_~ its like calling a black man the N word its bad in the urban parts of India

  • aay bahi thora wait ker lo first bahan ki shaddi than ur shadi wht kind of brother are you

  • Love marriage is AWARENESS??, BS, I am not against love marriage but this ad sends wrong message!!!, so this dudes love came until marriage and he did not make his parents' aware??!!!, how about elderly respect and awareness???

  • I am very much against intercaste marriages

    One must marry in their own caste ,

  • Main karunga Babli se shaadi ;)

  • it isn't abt any gender's liberation its abt how inter caste marriages r still diffcult to digest in the society

  • what this add depicts is not our culture you probably have a misconception about what is our culture and what its not

  • typical indian patriarch-sexist, stupid and with a huge belly. the ad sucks

  • Haha, but my dad's just like that, so it's pretty accurate for me ;) Lol.

  • Indian culture is india's biggest enemy

  • Wrong, friend. The culture that is shown today is totally polluted from what it was years back. Somw asshole would come up with a new and wrong idea and the naive people would start doing the nonsense.

    This is not our culture. Our culture is what was at the time of Ramayan and Mahabharat. This is just madness.

  • rightly said...ive started to think we never had one.

  • Perhaps...there are some unwritten rules in India which are not present in our constitution..Nothing can be done till next 2-3 generations.

    Nice effort though.

  • yeh to meri life ho gayi hai :D

  • the biggest cause of asian male psychological problems is the saas-bahoo conflicts and the deprivation froom free sex..... this has ruined the charms of asian male,

  • i dotnt get this can anyone explaine in english

  • the biggest cause of asian male psychological problems is the saas-bahoo conflicts and the deprivation froom free sex..... this has ruined the charms of asian male,

  • The dad is furious that his son is getting married to a girl from a different caste. The message of the ad is 'When men haven't been liberated, women liberation sounds like a distant dream.'

  • its not about it. It's about the choice of spouce. Don't add your own masala

  • The elderly person DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT CASTE!!!!, PLEASE DONOT MIS-TRANSLATE AND MIS-INTERPRET, THANKS.

  • 0:46 lol!

  • 0:46 lol!

  • 1. Bullshit advertisement

    2. Director/Writer is a woman

    3. Real-life experience of director/writer.

  • yo its true,good job

  • ahhah.. tht is awesome.

  • this ad isn't funny..it's really sexist. so first we have to fight for men's rights before looking at womens' issues? what a load of shit.

  • I agree.. it really is sexist!

    I wonder who gave your comment a thumbs down.

  • exactly

    plus most indian dudes couldn't live without their families....to demand so much.

  • lol. I'm getting neg. marks from those dudes exactly! haha nice

  • you pointed out rightly.

  • It wasnt sexist . It doesn't have to be chauvanistic, it's simply saying you've got to dig deeper than simple feminism, you've got to go to the root of the problem, which according to the author of this ad, lies at cultural tradition. That's what It is. You , in naming the ad sexist are actually acting like a chauvinist.

  • There's nothing sexist about. Don't get yourself in a knot now... its merely suggesting how we talk of the rights of one gender when there are elements of restriction placed on males as well.

  • The ad is saying that guys haven't gotten the freedom and they are talking abt women's freedom

  • Okay, now I get it, with help from the translation. I don't live in India, but the commericial seems to take a shot at any sort of feminist movement that may or may not be developing there (I don't know, I don't live there.) It doesn't have to be chauvanistic, it's simply saying you've got to dig deeper than simple feminism, you've got to go to the root of the problem, which according to the author of this ad, lies at cultural tradition. That's what I get from it, I could be wrong.

  • you got it

  • finally someone get it right..

  • Anyone want to translate this, what is he ridiculing the young guy about?

  • The family is a really conservative family. The follow strict rules and traditions. The guy is in love with a girl and wants to marry her but the father is objecting to his proposal and wants him to have an arranged marriage. He does it by ridiculing him. He also says to think about his younger sister and how she will get married if he has a love marriage. Due to the dominance of the father the guy has no option left. This ad states that we should be broad minded about both men and women affairs

  • we are all culturally trapped in some way or another and im not saying that guys aren't free to do what they choose but it's most definitely up to the individual whether they want to live their life or a life dictated by others

  • naari mukti?? r u freaking serious?? women are humans too and for us women to even ask for freedom should bring shame upon all of us because we ought to have been BORN with it. yet we have to fight for our justice.. it is us who have to live in a world that is created by "men"... this commercial is BULLcrap

  • arranged marriage is not cool

  • What a stupid add :X......

    Whats the relation between men freedom and women freedom or liberty :X

    i thikn the add maker is as confused as the add themselves

  • The guy looks gay, so in my opinion is is amockery of an undeniably familiar situation.

  • What is "funny"...

  • acording to the indian tradition the our parents are supposed to choose our bride

    we are not allowed to just randomly fall in love. its considered an offense. and if we have a younger sister. we are in a way compromising her wedding. its like one member of the family reflects the others' character

  • This is the worst commercial i have come across!!...what kind of social awareness is it trying to potray???.....funny!!!...very far from it. pathetic.

  • what a bullshit video! What does this mean that woman's freedom should come after men's. Stupid shit!

  • taht isn't what it's trying to say, although I can see it being taken that way.

  • So true. I wonder why you got thumb down?

  • what was the point of the video? what exactly was it trying to say?

    maybe those saying "very good work" can explain. they seem to have understood what the message is supposed to be!

  • Crapppppppp! These media people are presenting a wrong image of our country, I have never seen any parents behaving like this.

  • This is the first time in all these years that some one have shown gutts to talk about this issue.Everyone in this country makes boys feel as if they are born devils.

    Thanks to admaker

  • faulty message. where were the feminists when this add came out? why must it make for such amusement to see a man being denied social freedom as opposed to a woman?that might be what socially is apparent,but considering the intinetion of the ad seems to be to stress on the equonimity of social atrocity, its infact only reinforcing the difference of the sexes in context of social freedom.

  • faulty message. where were the feminists when this add came out?why does it make for such comic amusement to see a man being denied cultural freedom as opposed to a woman?even if society does reflect that, this add inafct reinforces that different between the sexes in the context of social freedom and nothing more.and clearly the intention of the add was to stress on the atrocity of social beliefs irrespective of sex, which it isnt doing.

  • hahahaaaaa fuckin hilarious

  • Men have more freedom in every country. Women are still sold into a marriage with dowry. Wives are stuck in abusive marriages. I remember the last time I was in India the men were so rude! At least we have had women in government for many many years. The message in this ad is a good one.

  • what is meant by "Lakon ko aazaadi mili nahi aur hum baat karte hai naari mukti ki"....does men have the prerogative over women in getting rights.. a initial step before women can be free...?

  • just great

  • wat d fuk.....wat d hell r they tryin to say....bloody so loong for equality....whr d hell does it say tht men have to get MUKTI before females do..?????

  • i don't understand can someone translate

  • huh i dont get what this means som1 plz xplain wat it means

  • STUPID ASS COMMERCIAL!

    If he really wants to get a love marriage, run away stupid, u didnt care about ur family in the first place

  • this is the ad i was waiting all my life for:D as a south asian guy raised in a conservative family i know what does the ad really means.

  • AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING !!!

    Total puchline ;-)

  • Great Job........

  • They r talking about equal rights...even in this add they r showing that first rights should be given to boys then girls....."Lakon ko aazaadi mili nahi aur hum baat karte hai naari mukti ki"....shameless creature..

  • their intention is different yaar. they meant to say that the guys who are projected as having more rights actually dont have them

  • its Ladkon not lakon...

  • ppl in india think tht guys have all d freedom nd gals dnt..so this ad says tht even males dnt have freedom for some decisions in male dominated india...

  • What I don't understand is when exactly did Women and Men become "unbalanced"...

    In the past, India celebrated gender equality.... perhaps there was always a caste system, but there was no "GREAT" divide between genders as there is now.

  • there's no still dude .. it's like 900 to every 1000 .. it's not a great difference ... juts this media is exaggerating all stuff

  • he's/she's not talking about numbers fool. talking about gender inequality. without a doubt there is huge gender inequality not just in india but all of south asia.

  • yeh there is nothing honestly... lol (sarcastic)

    only female infantacide... - Dadi Jaan

  • It is all a hip made by Gender maniac on both sides.Male or female dominance dependes on individual personality.If men cause trouble to his wife,in some cases women harrase their husband.One can not make any definite conclusion based on few cases.

  • True. In many cultures the men too are trapped by society's expections of them and traditions that they would much rather not be true to but unfortunately most are forced to give in due to the immense pressure placed upon them - amazingly ironically- many a time, by the women of the family. Retarded or what..

  • you misunderstand. it says that if in India even boys have not gotten freedom, how can we speak of Women's freedom, since that is the sequence most countries followed.

    Simple.

  • if boys havent got freedom but if a boy sleep with a women bfor marriege they wont punish as much as they punish girls. sometimes girls get killed.

  • the reason why they punish girls more because after sleeping with boy they change their physical structure but boys don't thats why they get less punish :)

  • I like the message convey in this ad , but if female have to misunderstand that , they can go ahead and make a fuss about that? But who ever post this , I really like and rnjoy it .

  • why should men get freedom first?

  • men need not get freedom first... but unfortunately, its a greater feat for women to gete freedom. Thats how our "society" was structured. the question is jus "how can you achieve a difficult task if u cannot achieve the easier one?"

  • The last statement sums it up all.

    Transliteration:

    Boys aren't free and we talk of women liberation

  • haha....what the peculiar way of saying..."Choppp"......it made me laugh

  • This ad is a bit misdirected. The point about men also having such experiences is well taken, but it neglects that historically as well as in contemporary India (and elsewhere) it is women who are massively disproportionately disadvantaged by patriarchy and its institutions, such as the patriarchal setup of marriage that this ad critiques.

  • you see...you do not care of boy's freedom..

  • I ahve no idea what thier saying

  • beautiful message

  • beautiful message

  • huh?? what social class does this refer too?

  • lol gud one!

  • Funny but intelligent. I only wish a bit of care in wording at the end.

  • best convincing add EVER!!!!!! great actin by dad!

  • shit. that father guy is a convincing actor.

  • omg...i thought he was yelling at his daughter.....

  • i truly wish tht d attitude of ppl starts changing towards inter-caste marriages......n yes let thr b freedom for all...

  • i think the wording at the end could have been diff. "the men are yet to attain freedom and we talk of freedom for women"...so that translates to "achieving freedom for men is more important, first we should concentrate on that"

    LoL dont get me wrong, i just think that more care should have been used for the wording.

  • No, it doesn't. It simply means the oppression, driven by caste, religion, social norms, "culture" etc., is so deep entrenched that even men -- the relatively 'free' gender' -- are yet to fully escape it. With the social reality being so bleak, how can we achieve higher ideals such as gender equality?

    That's the 'message' I got from this video.

  • correct...thats exactly what i thought too...does sound like they feel men's freedom is more essential... wordings could be changed to talk about freedom without gender discrimination...excellent acting and great concept though!!!

  • I second that!

  • Waaaaaaaaaaaaah.........

    dil chu liya is ad ne to...

    wah wah...

    dil ki baat ad main daal di... maza aa gaya...

  • haha lolz

  • this ad says "boys has not yet got freedom, and we are talking about freedom of women"...... his dad is not allowing him to do love marriage.

  • this ad says "boys has not yet got freedom, and we are talking about freedom of women"...... his dad is not allowing him to do love marriage.

  • What the heck! What do does this ad want to convey?

  • This ad is sexist.

    Shouldn't we be moving towards an equity platform for everybody already?

  • it is talking about equality, because ppl are already talking about naari mukti, it is pointing that its just not the naaris that need mukti

  • This isn't funny !

    this add has a good messege...it's not funny at all

  • I DIGG (yes i said DIGG cause it's in the moment) this ad so much OMG so true!!India's filled with liberatory movements with regards to women that they've forgoten the men...yes they are still not free either....

  • Free them both, then.

  • great ad. This is how things are happening in India. People need to start letting the younger generation make its own decisions, even if they stumble on some mistakes.

  • Looks like only you got it.. i hope others understand too.

  • this ad says that...first, give freedom to guys...and then you can think about girls' freedom....

  • What does this ad want to convey ??? I do not get the point ~

  • wahh wahh kya ad hai

  • Ending:

    Listen, you'll only marry where I say.

    Boy: Yes, father.

    Narrator: When even boys don't have freedom in our society, how can we talk about female liberation?

  • Rough Translation:

    So you want to do a love marriage?

    What should I tell the arranged match from Bijnor?

    I have great respect in society, but you are intent on spoiling my good name.

    I have made all preparations for your marriage, even paid an advance for the food arrangements.

    Have you even thought about your sister, Babli? If you do a love marriage against my wishes, then no one will come with a marriage proposal for your sister.
