Dham Dhoom Review

Spoiler alert: People, who intend to watch Dham Dhoom, please don’t proceed.

Dham Doom was a movie with lots of hype with its movie trailer coming out long before it is officially released. The suspense was mounted so much that I decided to camp every night till the wee hours on the nights when rumors spread that Dham Dhoom was releasing. My homework paid off and I managed to get tickets to Dham Dhoom on the day it was being released and I did the booking at 3.30am about 4 days before it was released.

Dham Dhoom’s story was a masterpiece of Jeeva. Should he have been alive to finish the movie; the movie would have come up much better. Honestly I was disappointed with the movie. All the hype just turned out to be just hot air. During the first half of the movie a lot of build-up cues were given (this is probably Jeeva’s work”. In the second half not all the cues were answered. The movie somehow ended, and the ending was not very well supported and justified. And they all lived happily ever after. My verdict is, watch it for Jeeva and if you are a movie lover like I am you would understand the big master plan Jeeva had for the movie, he was a class above and the ones who took the job to finish the movie were not up to the mark. It isn’t their fault, they did their best. Every actor did their level best and it is not their fault that this movie didn’t score 10/10.

My verdict 7/10(all 7 points goes to Jeeva). The 3 was lost because of, 1 for the lack of some realism in the stuns and 2 for poor storyline in the second half.

This movie will tell us why the death if director Jeeva’s death is a loss to the Tamil movie industry, cos this movie showed great vision and master-class of telling a movie the second half will tell us why there can only be one Jeeva.
