TOI wins India its first Gold Film Lions at Cannes

The ad film, created for the launch of TOI’s Chennai edition, delves into the life of a cut-out character in the city – starting out as an action hero, becoming a political hero and ending as a zero.
The Films Lions, Titanium and Integrated awards ceremony will see an invigorated Indian contingent with Indian agencies having outdone everyone’s expectations. With a little help from ‘Naaka Mukka,’ of course. So what’s the story behind the words, ‘Naaka Mukka,’ literally meaning ‘tongue-nose’? "It represents the taste and smell of Chennai and is a Tamil folk expression urging people to let their hair down and dance like it’s your last," said Senthil.
