The story revolves around Gattu, a teenage boy who is prone to misplacing his belongings; the laptop being his latest loss. After preaching his son on his careless behaviour, Gattu’s father misplaces his own mobile phone. Owing to the affordable refurbished products available on eBay India, Gattu not only buys himself a laptop but also a refurbished mobile phone for his father. The endearing film captures a realistic, heart-warming relationship between the family, while highlighting the difference between old, new and refurbished products. Consumers can view the ad film across eBay India’s digital platforms on YouTube and social media channels.
