    Must Watch.

    Must watch.

    One of the best Odia movies so far which breaks all the rules. Trend Setter

    Start of a new era of Odia movie industry with Daman.

    Original Content, Perfect Casting.

    Babusan and Dipanwit have done really great job.👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

    Cinematography, Direction, Song all are at par.

    Picturization of beauty of Jungles of Malkanigiri, Koraput, Adivasi culture is really mind blowing.

    Loved that Dhemsa song and Nichhatia Mana by Babusan Mohanty.

    Kudos to director Duo for this awesome movie.

    The efforts behind whole team is directly reflecting in the movie. All the very best to Daman team.

    DAMAN.

    #DAMAN A Must watch

    I feel overwhelmed by the movie, such a movie beautiful movie with facts. This is the best way to put social issue what common people face day today life. Many people across Odisha can relate this movie with their real life issue, they face with medical facility, health care issue, Govt reach and lots more. This is common across the country, most of the state goes through this issue every year. I urge the Director, producer to release it in other languages as well and give it a national image.

    This movie shows that Odia industry do have talent, potential and ability to think, deliver big content.

    I wish for such movies to come.

    Epic with Masterpiece

    Seriously it's been a long time since any odia film put out the strength of the actual film. DAMaN showing the artificial picture to grab the audience to theatre. Every minutes of the scenes have a gratitude level performance. Cinematography, Content, Location along with screenplay deserve a lot of applause. For the first time in the theatre of Odisha, Audience stand and cheers in the climaxxx scene. It is coming with emotional attachment,Love ,care and understanding the naturalism. DAMaN is originally a biography movie about a doctor who appears to be a lot of problems when a cut-off area people are not able to get a basic level of treatment. Go watch and feel the theme of DAMaN.....

    A movie demolishing every possible cliche existing in Odia cinema

    To be Frank for every Odia movie lover, a good odia movie was just a gone day reality. I truly never thought in this life I will get an opportunity to say to the world that "Look, this is our Odia movie." Fortunately, Daman has demolished all my delusions.

    The story, the direction, the screenplay, the dialogues are just perfect. However, the music of Gourav Anand impressed the most. Dhemsa, Nichhatia Mana, Ekela Chale, Daman, all four songs are the four rays of hope for the world of Odia music. They will be in every odia soothing playlist sooner or later.

    Babushan is playing the lead role perfectly. No one else could be imagined in the role of Doctor Siddharth Mahanty. However, it is deepanwit who has really showcased what a able actor can add to the script. He has truly kept the audience hooked till the end. Not just these two, the truth is, all the actors, in big and small role, have performed wonderfully.

    Odia Cinema in the recent years have been facing heavy criticism due to lack of originality. To all those critics, it's my humble request to show some love and support now. This movie truly deserve your blessings.
