5 Vibrant Holi 2025 Commercials That Painted the Festival with Emotions

Holi is much more than a festival of colors- it’s the celebration of joy, togetherness, and the triumph of love over differences. Every year, brands tap into the vibrant spirit of Holi, crafting heartwarming commercials that go beyond mere product promotion to evoke nostalgia, unity, and the pure delight of playing with colors.

Advertisers have once again captured the essence of this beautiful festival through stunning visuals, emotional storytelling, and impactful messages through their Holi 2025 commercials.

So, here are 5 best Holi ad campaigns that made a splash.

1. Anmol Industries: Har Pal Anmol

The very first advert in this list is one hell of a tear-jerker, so you better keep those tissues handy.

The ad revolves around a girl suffering from Vitiligo (a skin condition that causes loss of skin color in patches), which results in other kids often making fun of her. This not only dents her confidence but also diminishes her desire to celebrate Holi with them. Thankfully, the vibrant Holi colors help other kids look past her skin color and paint all of them in the same tones and hues.

2. Zepto: Play Stress-Free Holi

Instant online grocery delivery service Zepto has launched an impressive 40-second ad this Holi that speaks volumes about its top-notch service and incredible delivery agents.

The ad shows a Zepto delivery boy reaching a venue to deliver goods when he is ambushed by people eagerly waiting to throw colors at him. While he dodges some of their shots, he finally finds himself drenched in a bucket full of water. One of the ladies there, washes the colors off his uniform though, getting him all ready for further deliveries.

Kudos to the delivery boy for his commitment🫡

3. Flipkart: Holi Backup

E-commerce brands seem to be on a roll this Holi as evident from the Zepto ad mentioned above and this Flipkart advert.

The 45-second spot shows a bunch of kids chasing a cute, chubby lad while throwing colors and water balloons at him. The boy, who is clearly outnumbered, realizes that he is also out of water balloons and colors, which he would need for an appropriate response to the ‘aggression’ by other kids. Thankfully, Flipkart comes to his aid as he replenishes his arsenal and returns with water balloons, colors, and a water gun.

Honestly, the last thing you need during a Holi color standoff is running out of these basic items!

4. Shikhar Group: Rango ka Karvaan

As stated above, Holi helps people move over their differences, be it in their views or their perceived identities.

This beautiful advert by Indian tobacco brand Shikhar Group shows a young guy feeling deeply moved by how the women in his household are the only ones taking part in the preparations. His message is simple yet effective- if celebrations are for everyone, why leave the preparations only to the women!

Thanks to his efforts, even the men join the women in getting everything ready for the festivities ahead.

5. Birla Opus: Khushiyon ke Rang

And here’s the customary “make someone’s life better” advert! After all, isn’t that the core message behind every festival?

The ad shows a few kids in a gated community noticing that the room of their society’s guard has lost all its charm due to the faded wall paint. So, they take it upon themselves to add a dash of joy and color to the guard’s life by painting his entire cabin and making his Holi a memorable one too.

If it doesn’t help you understand the pain of other people and be good to them, do you even understand the basic principles of the festival that you are so eagerly celebrating? Thankfully, the kids in this ad did!
