Brooke Bond Taj Mahal Tea from the house of Hindustan Unilever has launched an ad film on its popular ‘Wah Ustad’ theme. The film has been conceptualised by Ogilvy & Mather.
 
Filmed at a picturesque lake, it features santoor player (Rahul Sharma) on his houseboat, brewing a pot of tea. A young boy passing by on another houseboat asks how the instrument is played, pointing to Sharma’s santoor. Sipping his glass of steaming tea, the musician starts playing. The music draws several houseboats to his, some also chiming in with their own instruments. As with the original ad featuring percussionist Zakir Hussain, this one too ends with the audience appreciating the artiste with a ‘Wah Ustaad’, and him responding with a ‘Wah Taj’, crediting Taj Mahal tea.
