Catering To the Taste of Odisha
Odiya people are often perceived to be quiet and gentle. The new communication campaign “Kadak Iraadon vale Odisha ke liye Kadak Assam Chai” breaks the outsider’s perception of Odiyas being -gentle people; and brings alive the positive insider’s truth that when it comes to their strong will power and resolve they are unmatched and overcome any situation put before them. This ‘kadak spirit’ of Odiya people, complements the Kadak tea preference of Tata Tea Premium.

Celebrating the Valor of Odia People
The Mullen Lintas group conceptualised digital film sheds light on the people of Odisha. It shows how the coastal state which if often battered by cyclones braves situations and takes charge when needed without indulging in unnecessary confrontation
The protagonist of the film is an Odia Police Officer who along with her son tries to take out his scooter but is blocked by neighbours car parked outside their gate. The son is angry but his mother doesn’t want to get into an unnecessary tiff. Later we see the woman getting an urgent call from her office where she has to rescue cyclone stranded people.
The film opens on a mother and her son who are trying to take their scooter out of their own house but due to their neighbours car being parked outside their gate are unable to do so. While the son Is livid as this keeps happening time and time again the mother does not want to get into needless arguments and would rather let it go. Here the woman shows her strong resolve in leading the evaçuation procedure.
After all is done, she gets home and brews a strong cup of TATA Tea for herself while her son reads the tale of her mother’s valor published in the morning newspaper. But the woman remains her usual humble nonchalant self.
