KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 15 — A neighbourhood football rivalry that lay dormant for 30 years, and the family secret behind it, are at the heart of Astro’s Deepavali television commercial (TVC) this year.
Titled Ondrinainthu Kondaduvom after the broadcaster’s Deepavali theme, the TVC follows two neighbouring taman as they come together to revive a football tournament that had been put on hold for three decades because of a misunderstanding.
The reunion match starts with plenty of laughter, friendly tackles and hilarious chaos. Then comes an unexpected twist: the two rival sides are actually brothers.
Their mother then turns up at the match. Her arrival brings emotions to the surface and eventually reunites the family.
