Taking the storytelling a notch higher, the TVC for the campaign has been directed by Bollywood filmmaker Punit Malhotra and produced by Dharma 2.0. It presents MS Dhoni in a never-seen-before romantic avatar, capturing his deep love for bikes. The film beautifully juxtaposes MS Dhoni’s passion for motorcycles with the emotional connection riders have with their two-wheelers, delivering a compelling narrative around Gulf Pride’s core promise.

Speaking about the campaign, MS Dhoni shared, “My association with Gulf Oil has been a long and special one. As a biker, I know how important it is for riders to have a machine they can rely on, that performs like new, ride after ride. Gulf Pride plays a vital role in keeping the engine smooth, the pickup strong, and extends the bike’s life—exactly what you need for a machine that becomes a trusted companion over time. The campaign beautifully essays this bond.”

Their evolving needs and bond with their motorcycles drive us to innovate continually. With the all-new Gulf Pride, we are reinforcing a trusted legacy of superior performance and unwavering reliability that bikers have come to love, reaffirming our commitment to cutting-edge engine oil solutions. This campaign celebrates the enduring rider-machine connection, perfectly embodied by MS Dhoni. By blending nostalgia, innovation, and MS Dhoni’s deep connection with motorcycles, we have tried to create a powerful narrative and a strategic campaign that strengthens our brand’s promise while deepening consumer engagement across touchpoints.”

The Gulf Pride relaunch campaign is set to roll out across multiple touchpoints, ensuring maximum reach and impact. The campaign will be aired across leading TV channels and digital platforms. Additionally, retail and BTL initiatives, including specially designed trade engagement programs and mechanic outreach activities, will further strengthen the campaign’s presence across key markets.

As Gulf’s flagship two-wheeler engine oil, Gulf Pride has been a household name among bikers for years. Now with an enhanced formulation, the oil offers 40% better engine protection, extends engine life, and ensures instant, long-lasting pick-up, making every ride feel as smooth and powerful as the first. The new packaging, launched as part of the campaign, reflects Gulf Pride’s refreshed identity and commitment to innovation.
