The first topical by Amul came out in 1967. Amul topicals that were earlier limited to outdoor hoardings, have now entered homes through print newspapers, phones via social media platforms. Amul India on Saturday took to Instagram to take their 408k followers through a nostalgic trip ahead of the commencement of FIFA 2022.
Amul had also put out topicals during the FIFA world cups over the years. Amul first made its FIFA-related topical in 1986.
“Let us prepare for the biggest #football festival in the world by taking a trip down the memory lane with #Amul Topicals!" The background score of the short video is Ricky Martin’s The Cup of Life.
