About the ad film
The film is set in the backdrop of viral fashion trends, where individuals are keen to get the admirable fashion they spot on others. The film opens with the camera zooming into the peephole of a swanky apartment and there the young Bollywood stars, Khushi Kapoor and Vedang Raina, as a couple sporting some hip styles, are seen getting ready for their outing. Through various situations, the film shows Khushi and Vedang being ‘spotted’ on the arrival of the elevator by other people – a young couple, a pizza delivery boy, and a young woman – smitten by the fashion quotient and the outfits of Khushi and Vedang. As Khushi and Vedang turn to each other with a bemused expression and say ‘Spotted!’, the other individuals are shown dressed in similar clothing as theirs and say ‘Got It’ referring to the ease of accessing the desired look and now transformed through FWD.
The film thus follows the story of Khushi and Vedang who get a little closer to their destination each time they step out, before getting spotted. The film uses the creative device of a ‘reset’ – each time they’re spotted they are transported back to the apartment where new worlds of trend come alive. The ‘Spotted, Got it’ scenarios highlight Myntra’s one-of-a-kind photo-search feature, which enables fashion-forwards to simply use a picture to instantly shop for similar trends that are tailored to their preferences, thus making ‘Spotted, Got it’ a reality.
Through the film, Khushi and Vedang rock uber stylish and trendy outfits from Myntra FWD, perfectly in sync with Gen-Z’s fashion choices. Lively, upbeat music complements the whole setting, while the vibrant colors of the film resonate with Gen-Z’s dynamic spirit and vibrant lifestyle. The film perfectly encapsulates the Gen-Z way of life that FWD represents, with trendy, edgy clothing and also subtly highlights all the features that will provide customers an exemplary experience.
