Noise hits back at boAt; Is the brand war officially on?

The ad by boAt sparked quite a bit of buzz on the internet with Apple fans up in arms and outraged at the comparison made between boAt and Apple hearables.

The ad film was created by popular YouTuber and comedian Tanmay Bhat, Devaiah Bopanna and their firm Moonshot. The team has worked on several viral brand campaigns in recent years including the famous angry Rahul Dravid ad and other ads for CRED.
