Visit Dubai has rolled out a film in the ‘Dubai, Ready for a Surprise’ series featuring actor-cricketer couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli.

The film follows the couple through a day of thoughtful surprises planned by Sharma, highlighting the depth, variety, and convenience that make Dubai an effortless choice for Indian travellers. Launched during the city’s winter season, the film captures Dubai’s cityscapes and expansive outdoors, from serene desert escapes to sun-soaked beachfront moments, showcasing how it enables travellers to enjoy both nature and the city, two distinct holidays within one stay, just moments apart. The film ends with a gentle hint from Sharma about how spectacular the view might be when summer arrives, reinforcing Dubai as a city for every season.

What we think about it: The film offers a warm, cinematic take on Dubai in winter, positioning the city as a destination that continues to surprise even the most familiar travellers. Subtle, intimate moments and relatable Indian touches make the story feel personal rather than promotional, while the seasonal framing reinforces Dubai as a city for every time of year.

The film released on 22 January.
