Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

One evening, the corn farmers of Thanewadi village were in for a pleasant surprise. We invited them and their families to enjoy the latest Bollywood potboiler over popcorn. The village square was turned into a makeshift cinema hall. A vibrant cinema truck projected the movie on a 70mm screen. Soon the chairs were taken. And many enjoyed the bucket full of joy while watching the movie. Next morning, the Act II truck packed up and headed to another such village and shared the joy with many more. - The campaign panned out exactly as we planned it.
