This is, without any doubt, my favourite Kerala Tourism advertisement. Kerala is a destination that is the exception, not the travel norm. Please continue to show Kerala as it should be shown, in a class all of its own. Kerala is unique, this is its edge. Anywhere in Asia can be the next Bali or Thailand but Kerala has something special and this deserves to be highlighted and celebrated.
Kerala Tourism is in fact doing a good job in the arena of digital transformation. We can very well reap the benefits ... Good wishes to all planners , developers & promoters of KERALA Tourism.
I never knew tis part of Kerala does exists too?? After watchin tis trust me, I'm makin plan to visit KERALA at d earliest :) :) Kerala, is truly a God's own countryyy
good hooked for 3 mins...too busy currently with work otherwise should have booked my ticket...yes ticket,not plural...thats the power of this ad...pulling in as the getaway destination..and Thank GOD! no couple has been used for this ad...great for a metro audience...and lastly, one of the best edits in recent times...kudos to the creative team and a wonderful brief
I Love this Concept...I've been to these places in Kerala a lot of times and each time is a new experience. This Film is Full of meanings for which we would have to come out of the SHELL and tell the World 'What you saw is not what you Knew'.... This Video is trying to be different from others by saying "Pretty pictures do not make a destination, but Experiences make it".
It is not good, it is not better, it is the best.... If i say excellent... it wont effect u... simply cant be more.. congrats I m realy proud to be a part of it... Thanks
There is ordinary, then there is genius. This video is nothing short of perfection. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for showing me what light and magic are really about. Best regards, Bill
The colours of Kerala delivered in the best possible way................ Amazing.......... even if it an adaptation of the Ashes and snow Mexican Tourism ad this is really close to my heart...............
saftey of tourist is being said by all most all the tourist destinations. This ad reflects the next level of marketing that is experience marketing. People go for vacation not just for fun but also for relaxation and to rejuvenate their body and mind. Brilliant work
Surrealism redifined!! wt a commercial..so different n unlike a normal tourism commercial. hard to believe its made in india. Music fits in jus fine. visuals are superb! best kerala tourism commercial so far!! the makers have done a super job..!!!
Beautiful film that evokes deep emotions. Very commendable of kerala tourism to make such a mature and experimental film. I am sure it will attract tourists as well as create curiosity about about the place. It is time we learnt to appreciate true works of art such as this instead of falling back on traditional responses .. being too scandalized to explore our inner selves. My heart-felt good wishes and congratulations to the Film Director.
This is the most amazing video I have seen made about Kerala. Its a revolutionary new take and wonderfully directed. This will appeal to the foreign audience. They are always looking for places with that spiritual and mystic element. The majority of Kerala's population is still not mature enough to appreciate something like this. But well, they arent the intended audience. So Hats off to the Director and team!
its a mesmerizing ad.... i see re runs of it over and over again..... incredibly beautiful ..the music owns you. anyone knows about the music.. is it specifically made for this ad or is a part of some piece?
Amazing video!!! atlast we have got a world class promotion for our tourism!!! really gr8..!! itz true that they have shown only the old rituals and locations in kerala but still itz worth for that 1.5 crores!!
Out of the box thinking and presentation, some may find it hard to digest. The locations and picturisation is fantastic, hats off to the team for the immaculate production. I felt that the beautiful model, a face that catches ones attention for sure is very different from the typical Malayali face. The background score had sounded like a fusion of Hindustani/ African/ Carnatic & bit of Western music. The traditional art forms & customs were the ones reminding of stereotype Kerala :)
mesmerising enchanting beautiful dream that calls you to be the one. felt good steping into the shoes completely. most of us think inside this world... it sounds soothing to your soul. Visualization is an art... execution is Indelible brilliance... dont you agree!
This is one of the best ads i have ever come across. THe first time I saw it on T.V i had goosebumps. Never has there been an y advertisement which has moved me so deep. I was to meet the team and may be even work with them who conceived such a masterpiece.
Beautiful and so serene & peaceful....The dancer's face expressions, elephant, back waters, green landscapes with soothing music, Shirodhara. Must visit kerela. One thing i didn't get was from 1:39 - 1:55...so eerie and the somehow the the fisherman at starting of this video reminds me of Gollum of "Lord if the rings"
This ad is absolutely a masterpiece. Among many other things, also because it takes a brown skin's perspective when promoting tourism, different from the conventional white man's perspective approach
A very bold move from the Kerala Tourism Team. Totally different from all previous Ads. A mystical and spiritual feel. I get what this ad is trying to convey since I am from Kerala. But I have a feeling lot of people, especially who have never been to Kerala may not though. One has to experience the Kathakali/Theyam art forms to get that spiritual feeling. For first timers it can be spooky.
wonderful. i miss my home, my kerala..... such a virgin land.... however fucked by politicians.. iT IS ALMOST PERFECT. you could include some more destinations.. best wishes
It captures d moments u must hav always wanted to live sometime , somewhere in ur life.... A moment where u r so close to the the Nature... " d girl sleeping in Nature's Lap ", ... d moment when u meet urself... "d boat scene " d moment where u live free , let out ur feelings freely ... and d moment when u become d in-separable part of pure nature & u feel the bonding... "d scene with d Elephant" ... So...Come... discover urself... in purity of Nature. Come... " Your moment is Waiting "
the ad is different from other tourism promotion campaigns .Really it has a different touch .On the negative side it needs real patience to know it is kerala tourism ad,but the ad has a soul, like kerala, for those with patience
A remarkable innovative approach in destination marketing. And already succesful due the no. of views and posts, creating further awareness of Kerala as a holiday destination. We think this was the main idea of creating this video.
Don't worry about the language ,anyway it is not meant for you.(Malayali) It is the soul experience of a traveler visiting Kerala ,which no language can express.The experience is different for each individual that is why in the end it says "Your moment is waiting". Nice job done .Congrats Kerala tourism
Thump up if you are amazed by this video This is the most brilliant and soothing advt i have ever seen.. This is our gods own country. I am glad to be a part of it.. May i know who is the team behind it ?
Honestly the people who have visited Kerala before or are Keralites, in short can relate to Kerala in anyway will find this video amazing. But those of us who have not been to Kerala ever, might find the video a lil scary. 🙈 so I guess a lil different way of advertising would do great wonders. Considering the beauty of Munnar, allepy and all. Hope you find this useful.
Great Ad ! Never been to Kerala so cant' judge it that critically. But the musicis pristine and the whole ad has this haunting feel to it. It conceives the concept of inner journey meeting your own self the lady on the boat meeting her own self. very good. Maybe it is portraying the rare and unexplored side of kerala which is why there is not much of the usual traditional Kerala stuff that is why the haunting eclectic music suppose to symbolise the rare unexplored, un-felt untouched kerala.
its different in a good way of course...and its not a bit scary..picturisation is awsome.. but they cud've added a lot more..the 4th scene(village) was superb..
thank heavens they didn't pull up the 'green' color during editing!!!! LOVE THE VISUALS, this is what kerala is about, this is one reason im proud of my home
this is really amazing!! hats off to the team for trying to show a Kerala without "coconut trees" a kerala with lesser green..... the scene were the theyyam sits close to her and telling stories are awesome... truly a marvelous work!!!
For those who can see only the obvious, here's an explanation i found from it........ the feel of the land,culture, backwaters and the eco-diversity of kerala is portrayed with the background of a spiritual tone... which will linger and passed through many a tourists... fellow keralites, foreign tourists will get scores of photos of kerala's imageries, if they need.. there ws no need of a new ad to picture it... The new venture of this is to transmit the FEEL of it..
I like the video very much. It is very different from the usual cheesy tourist promotional videos most countries create. Different is good! Very nice filming.
Stunning visuals. Amazingly different perspective...... and guys it conveys loads of stuff !!! thats exactly the trick behind an ad :) May be we keralites might find it a bit difficult to digest.. :P
It is for sure that what one may like this others may not...but it is utterly tragic to despise such a brilliant piece of work. I would love if I get to experience all of this in Kerela..this is so beautifully mystic and alluring. I wont be surprised if this work gets internationally acclaimed!
Its amazing to see that Indian Film Makers like Prakash Varma are seeing beyond the obvious. Stunning Visuals. Music compliments the surreal space perfectly. I dont think any other state in India can offer sights like these apart from Kerala. The best part part of this commercial is the fact that its not just another tourism commercial with the obvious beautiful locations and happy people wearing hats and going everywhere..How long are we going to be seeing the same stuff?
This is awesome video... totally different from the other tourism ads.. starting shot truly is amazing what to say!! gr8 job. prakash verma shows his ability once again.. GREAT... GREAT thats all what i can say about it... proud to be a keralite
This music is not available for download yet but look for work by Baaba Maal that he has done with 1 Giant Leap ( they did the music for this ad) or you can get Baaba Maal's songs from the "BlackHawk Down" film soundtrack which has a similar feel.
Kerala tourism doing some vere level things 10 year back...mind = blown🔥🤯
Glad you think so!😍
This ad was way ahead of its time
💖
So damn true 😄
Can't agree more... 💯
Still i am with u❤
I m with u ❤❤❤

This is the most underrated ad from Kerala Tourism. It has something beyond words to express.
May be it has something to do with her her costumes. I don't know. I feel so..
This is one of the best videos ever made by Kerala Tourism. Ever after all these years, it remains a gem.

Its a wonderfully presented campaign...excellent photography too.

very nice video sequences - thanks and good luck
watching in 2024 for a little peace of mind
For those who can see only the obvious, here's an explanation i found from it........
the feel of the land,culture, backwaters and the eco-diversity of kerala is portrayed with the background of a spiritual tone... which will linger and passed through many a tourists...
fellow keralites, foreign tourists will get scores of photos of kerala's imageries, if they need.. there ws no need of a new ad to picture it... The new venture of this is to transmit the FEEL of it..
Can’t believe it’s a 12 years piece of art!
I guess this movie is directed by Prakash Varma.
I like the video very much. It is very different from the usual cheesy tourist promotional videos most countries create. Different is good! Very nice filming.
Ithinde cinematographer aaranen ariyan vazhi indo, such amazing compositions. more than an ad it feels like an artwork.
K U Mohanan.
Amazing ad, makes me want to visit
I never knew tis part of Kerala does exists too??
After watchin tis trust me, I'm makin plan to visit KERALA at d earliest :) :)
Stunning visuals. Amazingly different perspective......
and guys it conveys loads of stuff !!! thats exactly the trick behind an ad :)
May be we keralites might find it a bit difficult to digest.. :P
I live outside Kerala now and I root for this 😭
Watching this after the prakash varma's wonderwall media interview
Great video, thanks for posting. And a beautiful song too - Baaba Maal really is a great vocalist!!!
wow.........very nice campaign...
proud to say its my native.........
there should be more such videos with beaches of Kerala river
i luv this music....
It is for sure that what one may like this others may not...but it is utterly tragic to despise such a brilliant piece of work. I would love if I get to experience all of this in Kerela..this is so beautifully mystic and alluring. I wont be surprised if this work gets internationally acclaimed!
