Like the movies, it seems Bollywood is competing with itself in the ad world as well.
The commercials don't just showcase products these days, they showcase the stars as well. And so, we have a whole lot of star ads that are very well made, and quite entertaiing.
We decided to feature the latest star ads here. Click through the slide show, and vote for the best at the end.
Mallika Sherawat's 8 pm ad
Mallika's only film in over a year may have slithered out cinema halls as soon as it was released. But Mallika is still in demand. After all, no one can be quite as coy and provocative as her.

Amitabh Bachchan takes his role as brand ambassador of Gujarat tourism very seriously. He shot for three ads featuring the Gir forest, Somnath temple and Rann of Kutch. His rich baritone combined with rare glimpses of the state was very well done.
