Oh, didn’t you read about it in the paper. Mumbai Mirror, I think. Their astrologer asked them to do it, said it would be lucky.

As Banno says, the astrologer told them to do it. Not sure when you saw these, but the ones at Sion have been turned the right side up as of two days ago. Maybe the stars have realigned themselves.

Try riding the auto seated upside down
quote
DOWNSIDE UP
Sometimes you’ve got to see the world upside down to achieve success. At least this is what the producer of the film ‘Good Luck’ thought.
Following a suggestion given by their astrologer, the makers put up the publicity billboards and hoardings upside down in Mumbai. And it was quite a bizarre sight to see the actors of the film staring from the posters upside down, as if hanging inverted by an invisible cord.
Ingenuous or not, the billboards were doubtlessly attracting a lot of attention.

That’s actually a pretty good advertisement strategy. Whatever the reason.

Reminds me of that ad where Madhavan asks young girls to distribute the pamphlets crumpled so that people become curious enough to open them and read. Sure attracted your attention, didn’t it?
