Dhoom Dhaam

A perfect example of comedy without making it chring and a good movies are surely a blessing, especially when they're Indian and available on Netflix.

This one is a great watch, packed with action, humor and excellent presentation.

It was my first time seeing Pratik Gandhi on screen; while I wasn't overly impressed, he played his role well. However, the real standout in this film was Yami Gautam, who delivered a superb performance. She portrayed her character beautifully.

So, grab some popcorn and enjoy it over the weekend. While it may not be groundbreaking, it steers clear of over-the-top action, senseless fights, vulgarity, or the typical masala elements found in many Indian films today. It's a well executed movie and definitely worth a watch.

Comedy is often the most difficult genre, apart from horror, to tackle. Many directors have their own styles of delivering the best comedic offering.

Rishab Seth has done a great job with this light hearted offering which is high on comedic moments and he is ably supported by a great cast and apt writing.

The movie is not complex or deliver nuances or twists or thrills of any kind. But in a way, that is the key to the success of the movie as it is a no frills delivery which succeeds in all it sets out to do.

Yami is the star here with a spot on performance which highlights why she is probably one of the most under rated actresses. Her comedic timing, spot on dialogue delivery and overall presence drive the movie and it's story line.

Pratik Gandhi is probably the weak link not because he is not capable but somehow not in the same league as Yami when it comes to the demands of the role. He has no doubt delivered a par performance but maybe a better actor in the comedy arena, would have made it a more complete package.

The support cast has little to do in most scenes but the overall combo is wrapped up perfectly and makes for a viewing experience which is fun, fast paced and exciting. There are a lit of people who step in an out in different scenes and each does their part perfectly. Key mentions -- Prateik Babbar, Eijaz Khan.

The movie does not really have any dull moments and is a laugh riot. Definitely not to be missed.

I saw this pop up on Netflix and it looked like it might be fun.

I'm really glad I watched it - it IS a lot of fun. Best described as an action/romance, the married couple of an arranged marriage have their first night together go very wrong when people come to their hotel room door and demand - with menace - "something" that they have no idea what is.

They spend the next 24-hours escaping bad guys, breaking their stereotypes...of each other...getting to the bottom of the problem and more importantly getting to know each other, finally, and falling for each other.

I don't watch many Indian films (so, sorry if I'm ignorant of mega stars here) but it seemed way less predictable than the normal "Hollywood" films that have been heavily promoted on Netflix - the main characters weren't cardboard cutouts, and the lead actress managed to squeeze in an awesome feminist speech too while leading the action too. It was a sweet film that I smiled my way through.

It's not a work of art, but you'll not regret watching it and having fun in the process.

Dhoom Dhaam (2025) is an action-comedy that follows Veer Khurana (Pratik Gandhi) and Koyal Chadda (Yami Gautam), a mismatched couple who enter into an arranged marriage. On their wedding night, a case of mistaken identity forces them to go on the run, leading to a series of thrilling and humorous escapades as they search for the mysterious "Charlie."

The film offers a fresh take on the action-comedy genre, steering away from typical Bollywood formulas. The screenplay is tight, ensuring there's never a dull moment. Yami Gautam and Pratik Gandhi deliver commendable performances, adding authenticity and charm to their roles. The humor is well-placed, making the film an entertaining watch without feeling forced.

The cinematography and visuals are top-notch, capturing the essence of the story beautifully. The background score and songs complement the film well, though the music isn't its strongest suit. However, the overall execution makes up for it. If you're looking for a Bollywood movie that feels new and exciting rather than repetitive, Dhoom Dhaam is a must-watch. It's a perfect blend of comedy, action, and emotion, making it a complete entertainer.

The wedding night gets rough turn when both bride and groom gets muddled in a police operation . It's an interesting premise for twist and turns . The story takes inspirations from movies like hangover where they have to connect the dots on what actually happened . It has a beautiful use of mcguffin ( if I tell you what , it will be a spoiler ) . There are sparky moments but also some unwanted scenes , the Kartik aryan type rant seems forced and long from Yami Gautam. Some places yami Gautam misses the beat , pratik on the other hand looks smooth . Climax has been closed in a good way but this could have been amazing comedy if it was rounded properly.
