In the TVC, Dhoni embarks on a quest, going door-to-door to check if fans have Lay’s stocked up at home while they enjoy every heart-pounding boundary, every wicket, and every cheer-worthy moment on the field
In a spectacular celebration of the cricketing fervour that unites our nation, Lay’s is ecstatic to reintroduce cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni as its Brand Ambassador, starring in the latest campaign – ‘No Lay’s, No Game.’
In the TVC, Dhoni embarks on a quest, going door-to-door to check if fans have Lay’s stocked up at home while they enjoy every boundary, every wicket, and every cheer-worthy moment on the field.
As Dhoni knocks on different doors, he is received by a series of delightful reactions, ranging from astonishment to exhilaration and even frantic searches for Lay’s.
What sets this TVC apart is that it features ordinary people and non-actors, capturing their unscripted reactions as they are stunned to see Dhoni himself standing at their doorstep, eagerly inquiring if they’ve got Lay’s on hand.
Those with Lay’s get the exclusive opportunity to share the match with him, while those who don’t, simply miss out on this golden chance.
The TVC playfully encapsulates the seamless blend of the sports-watching experience, Lay’s, and fan enjoyment, culminating in the resounding message, “No Lay’s, No Game.”
