Mountain Dew unleashes purposeful courage to save a friend

Mountain Dew launched its 2024 summer campaign with a new storyline of purposeful courage, a story about overcoming fear to save a friend. The campaign features Mountain Dew’s brand ambassador Hrithik Roshan, who has been associated with the brand for over a decade and is as synonymous to the brand as the ‘Darr ke Aage Jeet Hai’ tagline.

The film opens with a massive tornado tearing through a township, and at a distance there a group of friends relaxing at a campsite unaware of the approaching tornado. Until one of them i.e., Roshan, spots the fast-approaching tornado and his friend trapped under a car. In that moment of fear, the decision is between bracing the Tornado to save a friend or making a U turn. That’s when Roshan turns to Mountain Dew, gulps it and powers ahead to bravely rescue his friend. The action thriller reinforces Mountain Dew®'s mantra of 'Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai.'

Speaking on the campaign, Akankshaa Dalal, Category Head, Mountain Dew, PepsiCo India, said, “We have always been a brand that has stood  courage, our tagline ‘Darr ke Aage Jeet Hai” lives the narrative not just for the brand but for India a country where pushing boundaries is the new norm. The brand has always acknowledged that fear is inevitable, it creates resistance, but it is courage that enables a single step ahead taking us to the point of ‘liberation’ or ‘victory’. So far, we have celebrated this as a personal triumph but for the first time Mountain Dew through this new summer campaign has brought a ‘purposeful courage’ narrative to the forefront. A story about overcoming fear to save someone else it is. When you have a tagline like ‘Darr ke Aage Jeet Hai’ and a brand ambassador like ‘Hrithik’ they are so synonymous with the brand that you don’t have to look to far to find meaning.”

Commenting on the campaign, brand ambassador Roshan, said, “Mountain Dew designs the most thrilling campaigns and it's always a pleasure to collaborate with them. In our new campaign we have woven the brand's tagline 'Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai' in a storyline revolving around friendship and courage. It has been fascinating to observe the evolution and pop culture impact of the tagline 'Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai' over the years, and our latest ad film further reiterates Mountain Dew's message to conquer one's fears."
