A latest CRED advertisement showed Rahul Dravid in an unimaginable avatar, losing his calm while stuck in a traffic jam in Bengaluru. The ad obviously went viral and several other brands used the catchphrase: Indiranagar ka gunda hoon main in their social media posts.
Now, magicpin spoofed the CRED ad trolling their reward points campaign.

The ad features Vijay Raaz and takes a dig at the much-touted rewards program of CRED that awards ‘Cred coins’.
People were quick to engage themselves in this war of ads.
.@mymagicpin, Could this be any more hilarious?

The thing about the MagicPin spoof is that it’s so damaging (mocks both the campaign and the product) that it’s very difficult for the Cred people to acknowledge it & claim to be a good sport. It’s pure violence.

Shots fired at the CRED ad. But again, this ad doesn’t really show what magicpin does. https://t.co/xZjHP3OfbX
