Dhoom Dhaam : Vive les Mariés !

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.

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.)

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.

The length of the movie is just right . Lighthearted film , though screenplay , characterization, authenticity of story telling could have been better . What stood out for me was Yami's performance and the chemistry between the two leads . This was probably one of her finest works, seemed very believable and natural and both characters seem to be having fun with their roles , hence the chemistry probably . However the rest of the cast was unfortunately trying a lot harder hence the overall narrative probably was not as impactful .

Definitely a one time watch , as mentioned earlier the length is perfect so you don't start to feel dragged .

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.

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.
