Google has struck the right emotional chords with its latest advertisement ‘Reunion’ that does bring back the very hurtful memories of the India-Pakistan partition, but makes people in both countries hopeful about meeting their loved ones from across the border. Even though it broaches the emotionally touchy subject, it still manages to bring a smile to the face of each and every person who watches it.
The video essentially shows the advantages of Google Search, but has a story to tell. It starts with Mr. Mehra showing his granddaughter Suman an old picture with his childhood friend Yusuf. He tells her stories of Lahore where he and his best friend lived and played together. Once Suman gets some details she decides to track Yusuf down by Googling them and ends up locating her grandfather’s friend via Google+.
On the other side of the border, we see Yusuf’s grandson looking for visa requirements for India in Google and checking the weather conditions of Delhi while packing bags. And at last, both grandchildren manage to bring their grandfathers together, with the help of Google search, of course.
Even though the company’s main objective was to highlight the advantages of their products and vast connectivity, it chose a topic that is bound to touch the hearts of every person from the two countries. And going by the number of views the video has garnered within two days, it has been successful. When we last checked, it had 2,140,348 views.
