The driver out of his sheer knowledge and local expertise identifies the area only by the sounds, smell and the description. The brand film highlights that the person who has the strongest connect with the city can identify the city not only with their eyes but with ears, taste and other senses. “Jinki rag ragmein city daudtihona, wohaankhon se hi nahin, saanson se, zubaan se aurkaano se bhi city dekhletehain.

Commenting about the impact of radio, Richa said, “Radio has the power to entertain masses across all classes of society and has a reach that is unmatched in comparison to any other medium.
