The Coca Cola Ads

From "jo chaho ho jaaye...Coca Cola Enjoy" to  "bewajah khushiyan lutao...Coca Cola Pilao", the Coca Cola ads have given us multiple jingles that we remember. Has anyone forgotten "Thanda matlab Coca Cola"?
What makes ads from this brand so impressive is the way they are packaged. The right kind of music, well written jingles, actors who complement the theme and do complete justice to the ad. Master stroke of the package is the relevance of the ad theme to the times in which it is released. All of these have been just spot on! 
One unique thing about Coca Cola ads is the fact that they rarely have dialogues. Except for when Aamir Khan spoke about "5 matlab chota coke" and "Thanda Matlab Coca Cola" in different accents (Japanese, Punjabi, Pahari) etc., we have almost never seen conversations in the ads. For ads featuring dialogues too, statements like "yaaran da tashan" said by Aamir Khan (dressed as a jat) created a lot of buzz. "Ummeedon waali dhoop, Sunshine waali aasha" is a wonderful example of only song in an ad. The text content enhance the song to let the message come across.
With so many great ads in its kitty that feature actors ranging from Aishwarya Rai to Alia Bhatt (Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan featuring well in between), I feel that Coca-Cola can now run a campaign that only plays its former ads. The audiences will sure be delighted to see their favourite ads of the brand from all the years that have passed by. Is anyone listening?


Here are a few that I remember.....that I feel most of you would remember, in no particular order:
