This Independance Day, JSW Paints urges people to experience colour differently
This Independence Day , JSW Paints , India's leading environment-friendly paints company and part of the JSW Group, has released its new film that reimagines how we experience the national flag. The campaign has been launched across digital platforms, amplifying JSW Paints' core belief of Think Beautiful . Conceptualised by TBWA India , the film captures a tender moment between a father and son on the terrace of their home. As the national flag is raised on TV on the occasion of Independence day, the son creates a hand-painted tricolour filled with textured storytelling using JSW Paints, Aquaglo. Each colour becomes a tribute - to those who won us freedom, those who preserve our unity and those who nurture the land. The son guides his visually impaired father's hand across the painting to help him experience the national flag through touch and emotion. The film closes with a powerful note, ' Khoobsurti, jo dil ki aankhon se bhi dekhi ja sake. ' Commenting on the campaign, Ashish Rai, chief executive officer of JSW Decorative Paints said, 'Our Independence Day campaign highlights that beauty is not just visual, it is rooted in emotion and profound human connection. This story explores how art and colour can evoke emotion and unity. It captures the core of our Think Beautiful philosophy - where every product and story is designed to resonate with thoughtfulness, empathy and creativity.' Govind Pandey, chief executive officer, TBWA\India added, 'At TBWA\India, we believe in ideas that challenge convention and connect deeply. With JSW Paints, we've consistently explored what 'Think Beautiful' means beyond the surface. This Independence Day, our film attempts to convert an abstract idea like beauty into something deeply felt – quite literally. Casting a blind protagonist wasn't just a creative choice, it was a commitment to truth. And the result is a piece that resonates emotionally, while staying true to JSW Paints' brand values.' Russell Barrett, chief creative experience officer, TBWA\India said, 'Sometimes, the most powerful visuals don't come from what's seen – but from what's felt. In this film, we wanted to challenge the very idea of how beauty is perceived. That meant casting not an actor playing blind, but a man who truly sees the world differently. His performance doesn't just subvert the clichés we've grown used to – it humanises them. This isn't just a film. It's our way of showing that 'Think Beautiful' can live in the most unexpected moments.' Watch the video here:

Rupee ends flat in H1 2025; snaps two-day gains to close at 85.76/$
Indian Rupee snapped two days of gains on Monday, even as the dollar index and crude oil prices were trading in the red. The domestic currency closed 28 paise lower at 85.76 against the dollar, according to Bloomberg. The depreciation comes after the currency logged its best week since January 2023, driven mainly by a plunge in crude oil prices amid Iran-Israel conflicts. The unit has depreciated by around 0.21 per cent in June and has fallen by 0.18 per cent in the first six months of the calendar year. Some outflows may occur during the day due to JSW Paints' acquisition of Akzo Nobel India and HDB Financial's IPO allotment, according to Anil Kumar Bhansali, head of treasury and executive director at Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP. Meanwhile, the dollar index traded lower as trade deals are back in focus with the July 9 deadline approaching for the US reciprocal tariffs to kick in. The US dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, was down 0.18 per cent at 97.22. Last week, US President Donald Trump touted that a "very big" trade deal could be signed with India soon. India's negotiators have extended their stay in Washington to seal the deal before the deadline, according to a Bloomberg report. India's current account balance recorded a surplus of $13.5 billion (1.3 per cent of GDP) in the January-March quarter of 2024-25 as compared with $4.6 billion (0.5 per cent of GDP) in the year-ago period, RBI said on Friday. The current account was in deficit of $11.3 billion (1.1 per cent of GDP) in the December quarter of 2024-25. In commodities, oil prices extended their fall after posting their biggest weekly plunge in over two years before a likely Opec+ supply hike. Brent crude price was down 0.15 per cent at $67.67 per barrel, while WTI crude prices were higher by 0.29 per cent at 65.33, as of 3:40 PM IST.
