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.

After a short gap, Bollywood delivers a film that brings back the charm of movies we used to enjoy. It's a light-hearted, fun-filled ride with a simple story, familiar characters, and just the right mix of humor and emotion. The movie doesn't try to be different-it sticks to a tried-and-true formula, and that's exactly what makes it enjoyable. The music is catchy, the visuals are colorful, and the performances feel natural. It offers a sense of nostalgia and comfort, making it a perfect watch for those who miss the Bollywood feel. A pleasant break from heavy dramas and action thrillers.. Perfect for a relaxed watch!

If you are looking for some entertainment where you can settle down with popcorn and enjoy for sometime then you won't be disappointed. Yami Gautam and Pratik Gandhi play a newly married couple who get the shock of their lives on their wedding night when two goons break into their home and desperately threaten to shoot them while asking for the whereabouts of "Charlie". The couple promptly escapes and then starts the roller coaster run chase at night through the town. Both Yami playing Koyal and Pratik playing Veer are opposites in every sense. He is a phobia filled Gujarati vet ( I am a vegetarian, I can't eat my patients!). She is a full blooded fiesty Pujabi girl who gulps whiskey and shoots with enthusiasm. Together they make a terrific quirky couple.

Director Rishab Seth fills the movie with an engrossing cocktail of comedy, action, slapstick, romance, music more than enough to keep you entertained. There are twists and turns with shady cops, a botched up robbery, kidnapping, a mysterious pen drive, unfaithful boyfriend etc etc all happening in a wild ride at a crazy pace at night. These misadventures are all presented in a humorous vein and it is light hearted fun all the way. The sitcom has lots of suspense filled action with surprises. Both actors have fully immersed themselves in their cranky roles. ( Watch Yami delivering the monologue and belting out expletives and Pratik doing the pole dance among other amusing scenes.)

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.

"Dhoom Dhaam" is an entertaining mix of romance, comedy, and action, with outstanding performances by Yami Gautam and Pratik Gandhi. The story takes an exciting turn when a newlywed couple's wedding night turns into an unexpected adventure due to mistaken identity. Yami impresses with her strong, confident character, while Pratik's transition from a timid husband to an unlikely hero adds charm. The screenplay is crisp, with well-timed humor and thrilling twists. The cinematography and background score enhance the film's appeal. Overall, "Dhoom Dhaam" is a refreshing and engaging watch, perfect for those who enjoy fast-paced romantic thrillers.
