Astro has launched the Deepavali festivities with the release of its Television Commercial (TVC) titled Marupakkam | ‘The Other Side,’ which aims to resonate deeply with its audience.

In a world where social media is at our fingertips, it's easy to get caught up in the moment and post without thinking. But let's take a step back and realize the impact our words can have. The recent commercial highlighting the consequences of thoughtless posts is a stark reminder that our words have power and can potentially harm someone.

In the TVC, Arjun, while shopping with his pregnant wife, encounters an elderly man who accidentally bumps into her and later falls down. Jumping to conclusions, Arjun assumes the man is drunk and hastily shares a video of the incident on social media. The video quickly goes viral, causing the man and his family great humiliation and embarrassment.

But did Arjun make the right choice by sharing the incident online?

What unfolds in this five-minute commercial will leave viewers reflecting on their own actions. The director commented, “We wanted to deliver a powerful message for the festive season while ensuring the content is both unque and impactful."
