Dhoom Dhaam Review: A Movie Aimed at Fun but Not Quite Gets There

Beginning the Chaos

Rom-com action escapades Dhoom Dhaam begins with an explosive start. Following a flawless wedding, the newlyweds find themselves abruptly thrust into a chaotic evening. A luxury hotel suite designed for their suhaag raat (wedding night) rapidly turns into the site of an armed intrusion by unknown assailants. The intruders want to know where a figure called “Charlie” and the groom—played by Pratik Gandhi—are left confused and unable to respond. The bride, Koyal Chadda (Yami Gautam), had high expectations for her first night of marriage, but the couple embarks on a turbulent and erratic path.

The story encounters chaos right in the middle.

Dhoom Dhaam really likes anarchy. Producer and co-writer Aditya Dhar and director Rishab Seth promote the picture as a high-spirited action-comedy full of surprising turns. Still in their wedding clothes, the couple starts to doubt their compatibility as they run from the goons. Much of the humor comes from Koyal’s fiery, reckless attitude contrasted with Veer’s shy, phobic demeanor. Their disconnectedness from each other and the frenzied circumstances fuel the movie’s comedy and drama. Despite the idea’s promise of a frenzy of excitement, the execution frequently fails to live up to that expectation.

The performances were excellent, but the writing was insufficient.

The movie struggles to keep constant momentum even if its ensemble is superb and Yami Gautam Dhar and Pratik Gandhi lead the way. Particularly, Yami plays a new role for her—comedy—and does it with assurance. Her character, Koyal, is strong-willed and uncompromising, ready to rebel against the chaos surrounding her. On the other hand, Pratik Gandhi portrays Veer, a character who consistently finds himself in unfamiliar situations, with a more subdued energy. The writing of the movie sometimes undermines their dynamic pair. Although their performances shine at several points, the writing suffers and fails to keep the story captivating all through.

Musical Highlights Among the Mayhem

The movie manages to include music in its narrative even though there are not classic musical set pieces. Clinton Cerejo and Bianca Gomes’ song “Shor Police” is essential in underlining Koyal’s character’s strength. Her boldness contrasts sharply with Veer’s caution in a confusing and dangerous environment. One of the most unforgettable musical sequences in the movie captures Koyal’s rebellious attitude and is This strong anthem emphasizes the difference between the couple’s personalities and gives the turbulent story of the movie more complexity

This is an account of compatibility, comedy, and action

The goons persistently hunt the couple as the night goes on, and Charlie’s riddle stays unresolved. They start to see exactly how unsuited they are as they evade peril and frantically try to find out what is happening. Koyal’s direct approach contrasts sharply with Veer’s more measured approach, producing a comedy of mistakes as the couple works through the dilemma. The comedy gains an intriguing depth from the film’s attempt to examine the couple’s incompatibility in a high-stakes situation. But the movie’s concentration on action and slapstick humor leaves little room for more thorough character development.

Laugh in the middle of peril

The humor in the movie sometimes speaks to you, although it usually follows formula. One such noteworthy moment occurs when Veer, during the tumult, announces his vegetarianism. Deadpan says, “Animal doctor, hoon,” when asked why. I cannot eat my patients. This dry humor moment captures the ridiculousness of his character in a society headed toward anarchy. Although enjoyable, these lighthearted moments are uncommon in a film that frequently struggles with more traditional elements.

A feminine touch amid the chaos

Still, there are a few times when the movie manages to provide insightful commentary under the hilarity. One such instance comes when Koyal delivers a heated monologue defending the lies women sometimes have to utter to survive in a patriarchal society. The actress’s ability to give her character complexity and a critique of society’s conventions makes this sequence a highlight of the movie. The sequence is evidence of Koyal’s resilience and independence—qualities that define her as a powerful figure in a usually humorous movie.
