1‑Minute Film
- The short film, “Dubai, Ready For A Surprise?”, opens with the couple describing Dubai as their “second home.” Together, they explore new sides of the city—ones even they haven’t discovered before Visit Dubai.
- From cozy evening moments to sunny daytime adventures, each frame highlights their genuine connection and the city’s versatile appeal.
A Love Story with a Backdrop Like No Other
Set against the glittering skyline and tranquil sands of Dubai, the campaign opens with Virat and Anushka sharing their love for the city. “Dubai feels like our second home,” Virat says, and yet, he plans to take Anushka by surprise—turning their usual vacation into an experience filled with firsts.
From the get-go, we see a side of the couple that fans adore: playful, romantic, and incredibly real. Whether it’s teasing each other at breakfast or laughing during desert rides, their chemistry steals the show.
Sweet Surprises & Romantic Banter
One of the most memorable moments is a conversation by the waterfront. Anushka smiles and asks, “How are you so amazing?” to which Virat replies, “I’ve learnt from the best.” Her reaction? “Cheesy.” His comeback? “Peesy.” It’s simple, heartwarming, and shows the genuine bond between them.
They spot another couple walking past and Virat says, “Cute couple.” Anushka shrugs it off until he adds, “See, he’s nervous. Even I used to be.” The playful jab ends with a knowing smile—pure #CoupleGoals.
A Desert Dream Night
Perhaps the most cinematic moment is their time in the Dubai desert. Under the stars, beside a cozy bonfire, the couple toasts marshmallows, wrapped in warm throws, surrounded by the vast stillness of golden dunes. It’s a scene that evokes intimacy, serenity, and timeless romance.
The visuals are breathtaking, and the experience—personalized and peaceful—is the kind of magic Dubai offers away from its busy boulevards.
A City of Firsts, Again
While they’ve been to Dubai many times, the film focuses on rediscovering the city through surprises. Whether it’s parasailing across the coastline, unwinding in rooftop pools with unmatched views, or dancing to music at a private beachfront setup—every turn is new.
Anushka even flirts in French at one point, leaving Virat charmed and surprised. It’s these small moments that make their story feel fresh and inspiring.
A Foodie’s Paradise
Dubai’s culinary offerings get their fair share of spotlight. From beachside brunches to poolside breakfasts, the couple indulges in food experiences that reflect both relaxation and sophistication. Virat even jokes that his favourite chole bhature taste just as good in Dubai—highlighting the city’s global flavour palette.
Why It Resonates
What makes this campaign hit home is its authenticity. Rather than showcasing over-the-top glamour, it leans into genuine connection, personalized travel, and the thrill of surprise. Virat and Anushka represent what modern couples seek—memorable experiences over material luxury.
Dubai: Made for Moments Like These
This campaign reaffirms Dubai as more than a destination. It’s a place where every visit feels different, every corner holds potential for a surprise, and every couple—no matter how famous—can feel like it’s their own private escape.
Final Word
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family trip, or just a break from routine, Dubai promises not just adventure—but connection. As Virat and Anushka’s journey shows, the magic lies in the moments you don’t expect.
