BHIMA JEWELLERY LAUNCHES ‘PURE AS LOVE’
CAMPAIGN WITH NEW TVC
Leading Kerala
based brand BHIMA JEWELLERY have launched their new campaign called ‘Pure As
Love’ with a new TVC. The ad film marks a departure from traditional wedding
narratives of a bride to be shopping with her parents, or being gifted
jewellery by her in-laws, by depicting the journey of a trans-woman.
The film,
which was conceptualized by advertising agency – ANIMAL, and produced by
Ransom Film,portrays the story (and journey) of a trans-woman and her
story of acceptance into an otherwisehetero-normative role and social construct
of a young woman growing up & getting married.The film’s treatment is not
in the cliched traumatic narrative we so often see, insteadweaving a happier,
almost utopian narrative. The ad film is not just about her journey to becoming
who she is, but also that of her family and their love and acceptance for their
child.
Bhima
Jewellery comes with a 96-year-old pristine legacy. They have been a household
name for generations, especially in South India. The brand wanted to break away
from the traditional stereotypes of jewellery brands, and communicate that they
not only have jewellery for every choice, but that they are accepting and serve
without discrimination. This ethos of inclusivity and that all identities are
valid is reflected in the casting as well where the lead of the ad film is a
transwoman herself
In India,
parents collect jewellery for their child’s wedding from every early on in
life, over a period of time, often also handing down family heirlooms. Each
piece has a story, just like every piece adorned by the girl in the film is
connected to a poignant and important moment in her journey. While the
collecting of precious pieces of jewellery is something all parents will relate
to; the giving of jewellery in this film is also a form of acceptance to her
choice. And that is the main aim of the film - to normalise acceptance, in all
scenarios and of all persons.
While
speaking about the film, Creative Head – Animal, Sayantan Choudhury said - “This is not a special film. It has not been released
on a particular day to celebrate a community or just to give a message. This is
a film that the client expects to run for a long period of time from which they
expect to attract new customers. It just happens to be about a transperson and
their family. The ordinary expectations of this film are what make it stand
apart. We hope it goes on to achieve all its objectives and more.”
NavyaSuhas,
Online Operations Head, Bhima Jewellery Trivandrum added -
“Bhima
turns 100 in 4 years, and we feel that as a brand with such credibility, we
want to lend our voice to causes that matter today. This ad is special as it
takes us through the journey of a trans-person but focuses on the positive
side. It starts with her embarking on this journey and ends on her wedding,
with her family behind her every step of the way. What we want to convey
through the ad is that whoever one chooses to be, Bhima is there for you. We
are here to serve and empower, not judge. We hope this helps to blur the lines
that discriminate on the basis of colour, gender, etc.”
