Dubai is a 2001 Indian Malayalam-language political action film directed by Joshiy starring Mammootty, N. F. Varghese, Biju Menon and Nirmal Pandey. Anjala Zaveri, Vijayakumar, Cochin Haneefa, Janardhanan, Nedumudi Venu and Preetha Vijayakumar play supporting roles. The script for the film was written by Renji Panicker. It received negative reviews from the critics and was a failure at the box office.[2]

Barring a few scenes in the beginning, the film was completely shot in the United Arab Emirates. It was one of the most-expensive films made in Malayalam cinema at that time. The film ended up the biggest loss maker in Malayalam cinema at the time. The film's failure is attributed to insufficient marketing and the several delays in its release.[3]
