I searched for this ad on the entire internet for two days and finally found it on Tarsem Singh's official site. This Coke Commercial was made for 1996 Cricket World Cup. I was a kid when I first saw this ad on TV and I was spellbound...Amazing visuals depicting "RED" as the color of "JOSH"...this commercial features Legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's "Dum Mast Kalandar" track...And truly captures the essence of INDIA and Indians and their love for the game...I'm not a coke fan though...Great Commercial...
