’Jiyo Befikar’ TV Commercial/Advertisement by Bajaj Allianz Insurance

Lyrics
“Yaara Yaara ho Yaara…

Tumhare vaaste toofan sehle
Muskurao tum, jiyo har lamha
Tumko zindagi peene ki aadat hai
Yaara Yaara ho Yaara…”

About the ad :
The ad comprises of a series of visuals that depict how people go ahead and enjoy life, when they have the assurance of protection by a loved one. My favourite is the one where a group of little children jump into a river to enjoy a bath in the summer heat. The camera zooms out to show a pet dog watching over their clothes.
Gulzar has penned the lyrics for the ’Jiyo Befikar’ song that plays in the background. The mistakable voice of Sukhwinder brings the lyrics to life. And with Vishal Bharadwaj composing the music, this ’Jiyo Befikar’ song is a hit – as far as mobile ringtones are concerned. The commercial has been conceptualized by M&C Saatchi and shot by Dungarpur Films.
