More than a message: MR.DIY celebrates everyday love this Deepavali

Its latest festive webfilm, “Two Blue Ticks”, reveals the love behind a daily greeting; and why a simple reply matters.

KUALA LUMPUR, 29 October 2026 – A colourful image, a cheerful wish, another “Good Morning” message. Easy to scroll past on a busy day, but to the person sending it, it could mean much more. This Deepavali, MR D.I.Y. Group Berhad (“MR D.I.Y.”) explores the meaning behind these familiar greetings in its latest festive webfilm, “Two Blue Ticks”.

The film follows Kavya, a young woman who has little patience for the daily messages from her grandmother, affectionately known as Paati. To Kavya, they are repetitive forwarded images. To Paati, each greeting is a way of letting someone know they are remembered and cared for.

As the family prepares for Deepavali, an unexpected incident involving Paati’s close friend, Devi, prompts Kavya to see these everyday exchanges in a different light. What begins as a light-hearted portrayal of generational differences becomes a moving story about the quiet ways people look out for each other.

Through a ritual familiar to many Malaysian households, Two Blue Ticks invites audiences to pause and appreciate the care behind a message - and take a moment to reply.

Alex Goh, Senior Vice President of Marketing at MR D.I.Y. Group (M) Berhad, said, “Deepavali brings families and loved ones together. It is also an opportunity to appreciate the small, everyday gestures that keep us connected throughout the year. A daily greeting may seem ordinary, but it can be someone’s way of saying, ‘I’m thinking of you. Are you well?’ Through Two Blue Ticks, we hope to encourage Malaysians to recognise that care and respond to it.”

“Technology makes it easier than ever to stay in touch, but meaningful connection still needs our time and attention. Sometimes, a simple reply is all it takes to make someone feel loved and remembered, to make them feel valued,” he added.
