McDonald's India Redefines Value with McSaver Meals Menu Launch

McDonald’s India West and South – owned and operated by Westlife Foodworld Ltd - has launched its new offering, McSaver Meals, priced starting at just Rs. 99 for customers in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh and Rs.149 for customers in other parts of West and South India. More than just a great deal, McSaver Meals redefines the concept of ‘value’ by bringing alive the ‘feel-good’ moments the brand enables, thus making the unparalleled taste and quality of its iconic meals more accessible to our customers.

With the McSaver Meals, customers can now indulge in their favourite McDonald's meals without straining their wallets, whether it be a quick lunch break on a weekday, a family outing, or any occasion at any time of the day, To bring this exciting platform to life, McDonald’s India has launched a fun and engaging ad campaign created by DDB Mudra Group.

In one of the ad films, the narrative unfolds in a bustling McDonald's store, where three robbers, initially focused on a heist, succumb to the temptation of the irresistible McSaver Meals priced at just INR 99. As they indulge in their favourite McAloo Tikki Regular Meals, the blaring sound of approaching police sirens reminds them into action. They exchange a glance and quickly flee in their car. The robbers escape, leaving the police car screeching to a halt in front of the McDonald's store. The cops rush inside and are captivated by the irresistible McSaver Meals showcased on the menu.

The second advertisement is set in a corporate convention. The television commercial showcases Mr. Marshall, a European delegate, engaging with a company manager and a young employee. During their interaction, the young employee notices a loose thread on Mr. Marshall's sweater and attempts to fix it. However, as Mr. Marshall walks away, the thread unravels, transforming his sweater into a crop top and tangling those around him! Seeking to make amends, the young employee offers the McDonald’s meal to Mr. Marshall, who graciously accepts the peace offering. They both relish their McSaver Meals priced at just Rs. 149, marking a fresh start over a delicious and affordable meal. The TVC is being aired on select national General Entertainment Channels (GECs), as well as top regional GECs and news channels in languages like Marathi, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil.
