Facebook’s Diwali Ad Film Simplicity at its Best

This Diwali season, Facebook has created a powerful ad film with the support of Taproot Dentsu and Chrome Pictures that is gathering love from all across the country. The eight-minute long shot beautifully depicts what happens when someone takes a leap of faith and risks everything to help complete strangers.
