This Man Thinks Mahindra Thar’s Crazy Mishaps Are Genius Ads; Here’s Why
A family recently had a shocking experience when their newly purchased Mahindra Thar Roxx SUV crashed through the first-floor wall of a showroom and fell 15 feet to the ground below. Miraculously, everyone walked away without injury. This incident made headlines, and now, a funny video is grabbing attention online for its unique take on the whole situation.
In the video, Mumbai-based writer and comedian Kautuk Srivastava shares a hilarious conspiracy theory about the Mahindra Thar. He claims that every bizarre incident involving this SUV is not just random stupidity but a clever marketing strategy by Mahindra to highlight the car's amazing features.
Every Dumb Thar Incident Is A Genius Ad
The video opens with Srivastava saying, “Here's a conspiracy theory about the Mahindra Thar. It seems like we are living through a ‘Thardemic' right now, where every single day there is a new crazy story about someone driving this car doing something stupid."
“It is so frequent that there has to be a reason behind it, and that's my conspiracy theory. I think that every single dumb incident involving a Thar is actually a genius marketing ploy to let you know about its amazing features," he added.
He then talks about the recent incident where a woman in Delhi crashed her brand-new Thar out of a showroom during a lemon (nimbu) ritual for good luck. The car fell from the first floor, yet no one was harmed. The man says, “It's ridiculous, but it's also a great ad for how safe this car is."
Thar's Off-Road and Passenger Capacity in Action
Next, Srivastava shows a video clip of the Thar handling a tough off-road turn with ease. He comments, “Here's an ad about the Thar's off-road capabilities," calling it beautiful. Then, another clip shows several people standing on the footboard of the moving Thar, as he quips, “Here's an ad about how many passengers a Thar can hold, as long as the passengers can also hold on to the Thar."
Thar Doubles Up As A Party Vehicle
In the final part of the video, he plays a clip of a group of people dancing on the Thar during what seems to be a wedding function. He says, “This is a demonstration of my favourite feature, the Thar doubles up as a nightclub. Can you do this with your hatchback? Forget the i20, this is literally you plus 20. I'm telling you, the Thar's marketing team has cracked it."

Some users joked, “Better conspiracy theory-the exhaust leaks into the cabin," while others called the Thar “the new Creta."
This video cleverly mixes humour with the strange reality of the Thar's growing reputation for unusual incidents.
