BBH India’s Pujo Film for CaratLane is a Love Letter to Bengal

BBH India, the creative agency for CaratLane, has conceptualised and created a heartwarming Pujo film that positions Durga Puja as the perfect moment to pop the question.

At the heart of the film is CaratLane’s elegant proposal ring, brought alive by BBH India as the ultimate symbol of commitment – timed to perfection with the emotional crescendo of Pujo.

Titled ‘Maayer Aashirbaad’, the film is directed by award-winning filmmaker Bauddhayan Mukherji of Little Lamb Films, with music composed by legendary Debojyoti Mishra. It is a sensory delight that blends timeless Rabindra Sangeet with folk melodies, creating a soundscape that is both nostalgic and fresh. Mekhla Dasgupta and Chirantan Banerjee’s voices breathe life into Mishra’s score. The music becomes the emotional engine of a slowly unfolding love story between two protagonists, played by actors Ayoshi Talukdar and Subhrojit Saha, whose chemistry lights up the screen with playful intensity.

Spanning the key days of Pujo from Shoshthi to Doshomi, the film captures iconic moments like Anjali, Dhunuchi Naach, and Bhog, each scene steeped in the colour, rhythm, and emotion of Bengal’s most cherished celebration. 

The storytelling unfolds entirely through music. The girl drops playful hints of her desire for commitment while the boy responds with lighthearted mischief. The lyrics themselves become a conversation, questions and answers set to melody. The narrative builds gently, as days of festivity and moments of romance gather weight, until it culminates in a poignant proposal during Doshomi’s shindoor khela, where the male lead goes down on one knee and presents the CaratLane proposal ring, an unforgettable moment framed by tradition and tenderness.

Parikshit Bhattaccharya, Chief Creative Officer, BBH India, said, “Durga Pujo is already a love story – between people, rituals, and memories. We wanted to frame it as the perfect backdrop for one more love story, and the CaratLane proposal ring became the natural climax. At BBH India, we believe powerful cultural truths make for the most resonant brand storytelling, and that’s exactly what this campaign celebrates. It weaves cultural nostalgia with feel-good romance to break away from the usual format of jewellery advertising.”

According to Saumen Bhaumik, Managing Director, CaratLane, “The vision behind the campaign was to connect with people on a deeper, more personal level. “Love, romance and proposal are matters of the heart. We believe a proposal comes from the heart, on your own terms, in your own time, free flowing, and spontaneous—like an unforgettable melody. The film ‘Maayer Aashirbaad’ attempts to capture that beautifully honest moment cinematically in the backdrop of Durga Pujo—the biggest event in Bengal. The medley of Rabindra Sangeet and folk melodies truly brings this story to life. Just to say that the most meaningful moments of love are simple, sincere, and made to last.”
