OPPO India has partnered with Drishyam The Conclusion to promote the F35 Series 5G. The film releases on 2 October.

  • Brand: OPPO India, for the F35 Series 5G
  • Property: Drishyam The Conclusion, releasing 2 October 2026
  • Cast featured in the activity: Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran
  • Product positioning: the F35 Series as a group selfie expert
  • Feature carried: a 50MP ultra-wide selfie camera, pitched on fitting several people into one frame
  • Creative idea: a special film linking the franchise's storytelling to the camera, on the line that when it comes to family, nothing should be left incomplete, not even a photograph

Why OPPO Picked This Franchise

Because the fit is thematic rather than demographic. Drishyam is a series about a family and about what is concealed, and the brand's line turns that into something benign about not leaving a photograph incomplete.

Film tie-ins usually buy reach around a release date. This one is reaching for a borrowed theme, which is harder to execute and worth more when it works.

The Risk In The Device

The franchise's subject is a family covering something up. A brand attaching itself to that has to stay on the warm reading of it, and the activity does, by keeping the connection at the level of family and completeness rather than the plot.

Why The Release Date Matters

A 2 October release puts the film into the Gandhi Jayanti weekend and ahead of the festive buying window, which is when handset volumes in India concentrate. The partnership is therefore buying attention at the point the category is already being shopped, not several weeks before it.

What Was Said

Goldee Patnaik, head of communications at OPPO India, said the collaboration is rooted in a strong and natural synergy between the two brands.
