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.

"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.

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.)

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.

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 .
