Manesh Swamy, MD and CCO of LS Digital shared his insights into making the film, “It was an exciting opportunity to create something that felt authentic yet relatable to the youth as well. Onam is like this big cultural melting pot of stunning visuals like the iconic boat races, quiet moments of reflection by the Pookkalam (flower rangoli), the laughter at the Onam Sadya feast, the vibe of the Pulikali Performances and festivities. We wanted to show the homecoming of Mahabali in a New Vibe, New Beat. Hence, we got a mix of traditional Kerala Musicians and Rappers to come up with this unique piece of Sound to sing along”.
With this campaign, D2H aims to celebrate Onam and strengthen cultural connections, reminding audiences of the values that bind us together during festive times. With these special offers and the heartfelt film campaign, D2H invites everyone to embrace the spirit of Onam, celebrate their cultural heritage, and enjoy an enriched entertainment experience during this festive season.
