Grab some murukku and settle in! From heartwarming reunions to humorous reminders about family time, here is our roundup of Deepavali ads that celebrate togetherness over perfection this festive season.

In No Pitch Needed, Mah Sing challenges the tokenisation of diverse identity, calling on us to look beyond superficial stories and embrace our shared humanity. The video invites us to shine a light of understanding and empathy this Deepavali, reminding us that choosing kindness over prejudice is the true key to building a united Malaysia.

It’s easy to dismiss the sparkly, cringy morning messages our elders send on WhatsApp. In Two Blue Ticks by MR.DIY, Kayva is initially dismissive of her grandmother’s daily greetings until she realizes that a single text can hold life-saving importance. The video reminds us to value these small gestures because they are often quiet acts of love and care.
