Although the sound startles Yami Gautam, she quickly realizes that the burglars don't have any weapons and calms down enough to wake Akshay. He assures her that he has a weapon that's powerful enough to fight them off.
A synchronised song and dance routine erupts as Akshay Kumar and Yami Gautam proceed to open the windows and doors and eventually freeze the burglars.
As the police arrive, Akshay warns the burglars to not take winter lightly and gives them Dollar thermals, the ultimate weapon against the cold.
“We wanted to break away from the usual stereotype of winter communication by creating an entertaining song and dance number that addresses the fact that winters are not to be taken lightly while clearly landing the message that Dollar Ultra is the ultimate Thand Ka Weapon to combat extreme weather conditions”, said Mr Sagar Kapoor, Chief Creative Officer, Lowe Lintas. The campaign is going live across online and offline platforms.
