Senco Gold & Diamonds' campaign features Sourav Ganguly in a comedic avatar

Senco Gold & Diamonds has launched its new campaign starring Sourav Ganguly for its online gold transaction platform named DG Gold.

Rising Star Awards 2022 entry deadline extended to August 29. ENTER NOW

The campaign highlights the ease of buying gold on DG Gold, through a series of three humorous films, starring Ganguly. In the films, Ganguly plays three characters from well-known folktales, who go to extreme lengths to fulfil his desire for gold, but interestingly, these stories end with comically disastrous results every time. Each film ends with a message from the former Indian Captain – ‘Why go to such lengths for gold when you can buy gold easily on Senco DG Gold!’

The ads will run on TV and digital platforms.

First film – Sourav and Alibaba:

Ganguly plays the famous folktale hero Ali Baba, trying to steal gold from the 40 thieves, from the legendary ‘Khul Ja Sim Sim’ cave. But of course, like in the story, he forgets the ‘password’ to open the cave, leading to comically disastrous results. The film ends with Ganguly as himself, presenting Senco DG Gold as a hassle-free way to satisfy one’s desire for gold. 

Second film – Sourav and The Golden Goose:

This film takes the folktale of the ‘Goose that lays gold eggs’ and places it in a modern context. Ganguly plays the hero who acquires the magical Golden Goose to satisfy his gold cravings, but the story has an unexpected and comical twist, which really showcases his comedic acting. The film concludes with Ganguly as himself, introducing Senco DG Gold as the easier and more reliable way to acquire gold.

Third film – Sourav with The Touchstone/Poroshpathor:

Ganguly plays a middle-class man who acquires the mythical Touchstone/Philosopher’s Stone or Poroshpathor – a stone that turns whatever it touches into gold. But he gets careless in his excitement, leading to an unexpected and hilarious twist at the end. The film concludes with Ganguly himself introducing Senco DG Gold as the easier and smarter way to buy gold.

Ganguly said, “I am very excited with the new campaign which is funny and informative for those who want to do online gold transactions. I am not new to this brand as my association with Senco Gold & Diamonds dates back to 2015. Senco Gold is a trusted jewellery brand and it gives me immense pleasure to be associated with such an eminent jewellery brand.”

Suvankar Sen, MD and CEO, Senco Gold and Diamonds, said, “We introduced DG Gold, a digital platform for customers to buy, redeem and sell gold through our website almost a year ago to this date. This new-age product was launched keeping in mind the extremely-aware Indian Millennials who not only know about various asset classes to invest in but also realise the benefits of saving early. Through this campaign, our national brand ambassador Sourav Ganguly will be seen in three different avatars, emphasising the key features of DG Gold - Instant Hassle-Free Transactions, Pure 24 Karat Gold, Full Security and Insurance. We are confident our customers will love this campaign and it will bring a smile to their faces to see the humorous side of our beloved Dada. I would like to thank Joita Sen-Director, Senco Gold & Diamonds and the entire marketing team who collaborated with Bang On, our advertising agency to produce a very engaging set of commercials. I would also like to thank Mr Dibyendu Baral, Chief Digital and Innovation Officer and our tech team for developing this new age product.”

Director and Cinematographer of Bang On Content, Piyash Ghosh, said, "It was a fantastic experience to work on these films, from coming up with the ideas to bringing them to life on camera. The best part of it all was Sourav himself -- he was such a great sport to play the humorous roles and reveal his comedic side for the first time on screen. His support and value addition in the whole process made the films and the experience even more enjoyable. He is a director's dream actor and surprised everyone with his natural comic timing and sense of humour. We look forward to making more such unique films with him in the near future!"
