Real estate classifieds player 99acres rolled out a TVC conceptualised by J Walter Thompson, which went on air on 23 May.
The film tells the story of a young man living with his male friend in an apartment. They are watching a match on TV in the living room, when his friend's girlfriend walks in the door with a suitcase. While the protagonist greets her, his friend instantly moves to her side. He tells the protagonist that the couple will be moving in together. The protagonist's happy reaction to the news is replaced soon, as the ramification of their moving in sinks in. He's now on the road with his baggage, accessing 99acres on his mobile for a place on rent. A voice over promises places on rent anytime, with 99acres.
