Lets look at the recent association between the bollywood block buster Jodha Akbar and Jewellery Brand Tanishq . This historical movie is based on the life and times of the Mugal king Akbar and his wife Jodha . The elegant and classic designs of the jwellery of the Mugal age was recreated by the Tata Brand from India called Tanishq.

This is a classic case of how working on a movie project based on history can make an entire retro collection liven up for a brand ,Tradionally the brand would have created a retro collection and then peddled it on a ramp show or a booklet or maybe a collectible classic book, but all of these would have gone to a few elitist people.

With Jodha-Akbar having a huge reach in the Indian as well as overseas market Tanishq got a great platform to show case its understanding of the retro jwellery and also as a brand moving with the times t become associated with a latest blockbuster movie.

Now after the movie release “The Akbar Sword” a 3.5 feet long , 20 Kgs in weight and encrusted with 3000 Rubies and Diamonds is touring India with rest of the jwellry collection is a branding opportunity cashed in itself and this in turn is promoting the movie as well.
