The films highlight easy international bookings with MakeMyTrip, suitable for new and experienced travelers alike.

MakeMyTrip, India's online travel company, has launched two new brand films featuring brand ambassadors, Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh. These films showcase the simplicity and convenience of booking flights and hotels for international travel with MakeMyTrip, catering to both first-time international travelers and seasoned travelers.

There is a lot to consider when choosing flights and hotels for international travel, which often leaves travelers with decision fatigue or uncertainty. Whether it is a traveler’s first international trip or yet another one, the MakeMyTrip platform aims to make the entire process seamless and cost-effective. To highlight the range of platform benefits across its network of 15L+ hotels across the world, a special option that offers 100% refund on flight cancellation for a premium that is fraction of the flight cost, along with instant support 24*7. The two new brand films pick up unlikely scenarios to deliver the message.

Raj Rishi Singh, CMO & chief business officer - corporate, MakeMyTrip said, ”We at MakeMyTrip believe in making the world more accessible, one trip at a time. In the past few months, we have introduced a suite of tools, features and benefits, some of them industry-firsts, designed for every international traveler, be it a first-timer or a seasoned globetrotter. Our aim is to ensure that everyone can partake in these benefits, making their travel booking and post-sales experience seamless and enjoyable. Our new films highlight the value addition we bring to the table, demonstrating how MakeMyTrip can be a game-changer when it comes to international bookings.”

The first film presents Alia and Ranveer as a newlywed couple on their wedding night, still trying to find their footing with each other. The conversation veers towards both sharing their apprehensions about their “first-time”. As film unfolds, viewers find out that the ‘first-time’ in question is in fact their first time travelling internationally. As a solution, they turn to MakeMyTrip for their flight and hotel bookings, both taking on the planning/research responsibility equally and with great enthusiasm.

In the second film, viewers are drawn into the middle of a suspenseful scene – where Ranveer Singh, playing an international spy/agent, unearths the location of a most wanted person. When Alia Bhatt, his commanding officer, discloses that the mission is in London, Ranveer, with his humorous style, argues that the criminal should be let go as ‘he isn’t bad at heart’ to save himself an international trip. Alia’s character senses his apprehensions and introduces him to the MakeMyTrip international booking experience, highlighting its ease and tension-free experience.

This campaign was conceptualised by the creative agency, Moonshot and films have been written by Devaiah Bopanna, Tanmay Bhatt, Puneet Chadha and Deep Joshi.
