5 Feel-Good Diwali Commercials That Spread Warmth, Love, and Festive Cheer

The magic of Diwali isn’t just in the lights and sweets– it’s in the emotions that bring people closer. Each year, brands capture this spirit through stories that touch hearts and remind us of what truly matters. From family reunions and acts of kindness to simple moments of joy, Diwali 2025 commercials beautifully reflected the warmth and love that define the festival.

​

So, here’s a look at 5 feel-good Diwali ad campaigns from this year that lit up not just our screens, but our hearts too.

​

1. Vivo: Joy of Homecoming

The concept of homecoming in advertising has always been successful, and Vivo seems to have perfected this theme.

​

This Vivo ad follows a typical modern-day father-daughter relationship, in which the daughter is so caught up in her work that she isn’t even able to respond to her father’s calls and texts. However, her promise of showing up on Diwali keeps her father’s spirits high as he bombards her with pictures and videos of his preparations for the festival. But just when you begin wondering whether or not she’ll even be able to make it home on Diwali, a note that she wrote for her father in her childhood surfaces on her mobile screen– except that this time it’s from her dad.

​

The next few seconds will melt your heart as we see the daughter joining her father in the Diwali preparations. After all, it’s the little preparations before the celebrations that make every Diwali truly special.

2. Tanishq: The Indian Diwali

Diwali is celebrated by Hindus across the world. But for many Indians living in other countries, this day also serves as a reminder to stay connected to their roots.

​

Diwali, away from India, feels a little different. The streets may not sparkle the same. The aroma of homemade laddoos may not fill the air. And yet- for every Indian across the world, Diwali lives on. This Tanishq advert revolves around one such Indian family living outside of India and underscores their efforts at ensuring that not only do they stay connected to their Indian roots, but also acquaint their daughter with their culture and give her a taste of the Diwali festivities.

​

When you have the Diwali spirit kindling inside your heart, geographical boundaries can’t diminish the joy, connection, and sense of belonging that this beautiful festival brings.

​

3. PNB Housing Finance: May Every Home Lighten Up

Sometimes the smallest gestures of kindness can make others feel truly special. This advert by PNB Housing Finance throws the spotlight on what generosity really looks like.

​

The ad opens with a couple packing away some of their old stuff to donate to the poor and needy on Diwali. But when their househelp requests them to give one of their items to her instead of shoving it into the donation box, the couple does something that not just brings a smile to her face but melts the audience’s hearts too.

​

You see, just because someone’s happy with hand-me-downs doesn’t mean that they can’t be happier with a bit more love and care. And why settle for less when you CAN do more for someone?

​

4. HP: Mumma, You’re a Fairy!

Small and medium-sized businesses are the most vital cogs in any country’s economy. This Diwali, the American IT company Hewlett-Packard launched a Diwali ad campaign that celebrates millions of Indian businesses who, with grit and passion, overcome odds every day to light up the nation’s growth.

​

The ad shows a young girl telling her friend how her mother established her clothing business and overcame every setback on the way to ensure a great life for herself as well as her staff. The story also includes how her mother switched to laptops for work instead of relying solely on hand-drawn sketches, brilliantly positioning HP laptops in the midst of this beautiful spot.

​

Thanks to the mother’s smart decision-making and her ability to weave magic out of nothing, the daughter addresses her as a fairy. When the right tools meet the right spirit, work indeed feels like magic!

5. Oppo: Where You Find Your True Self

A journey back home, a delayed flight, a lost suitcase, and a Diwali that became the ultimate reunion, where one found their true self. That’s Oppo’s Diwali 2025 ad campaign for you in a nutshell.

​

The ad, featuring the Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor, opens with the actor inviting his old friends over to his house for a Diwali get-together when he visits his hometown after what seems like a really long time. What follows next are endless conversations and silly pranks over Diwali delicacies.

​

Towards the end of the advert, when asked who he liked meeting the most, Ranbeer points towards his reflection in the mirror. Old friends, new stories, and countless memories waiting to be cherished– sometimes these are everything you need to find your true self!
