Cadbury Bournvita releases ‘Tayyari Jeet Ki’ campaign

Cadbury Bournvita, Mondelez India's nutrition brand, has unveiled a four-minute short film titled, 'The Boy Who Failed' as part of their 'Tayyari Jeet Ki' campaign. The short film showcases a family of three, a mother and her son and daughter, who return from a district-level badminton competition. The young son returns home dejected and filled with rage after evidently losing in the tournament and even though his elder sister tries to persuade him to come and practise the following day, the young boy keeps to himself and remains in his room. The mother takes the daughter for practice and the young boy looks at his mother and daughter practising and slowly regains the confidence to pick up his racquet once again. The film ends with the young boy once again returning to the court and having the courage to accept his failure and learn from it. The film ends with the message that 'there is a big difference between failing and accepting one is failure.' The film talks about how failure is one of the most important teachers on the path to success and how one must not give up due to failure but learn from it and keep moving on. The campaign will see Cadbury Bournvita also rope in athletes such as Hima Das, Ashish Kumar Chaudhary and Anahat Singh and will be showcasing their 'fighting spirit' in their upcoming adverts. The athletes will also use their social media handles to share inspiring stories about overcoming failure and learning from it, as part of the campaign.
