Dhaam Dhoom confirmed on Aug 29
By Moviebuzz | Saturday, 23 August , 2008, 08:53
Dhaam Dhoom directed by late cameraman Jeeva, featuring Jayam Ravi, Kangana Ranaut and Lakshmi Rai has been confirmed for an August 29 release.
The film which is already in the news after Jeeva’s untimely death during the shoot of this movie last year in Moscow, it is one of the most awaited movies for this year.
Now the film has been censored with a clean U Certificate. With running time of less than 2 hours and 30 minutes the movie has come out very clean, entertaining and sure to rock class audiences.
For Jeeva who has films like 12 B, Ullam Ketkume, Unnale Unnale to his credit as a director, Dhaam Dhoom was an ambitious project. The songs tuned by Harris Jayaraj are topping the charts and the film also has Jayaram playing an important role.
The views expressed in the article are the author's and not of Sify.com.

Back after watching Dhaam Dhoom. about 20 people on a friday evening 6pm show.
Positives
- In many places, feels like watching English movie.
Jayam Ravi
Kanaga 
Beautiful cinematography
Foreign locales are part of the movie and don't stick out like a sore thumb 
Songs
No independent comedy track; the scene where Laksmi Rai comes into Ravi's house and the scene following is side spliting 
Negatives
- Lakshmi Rai
is KW short of skilled actresses?
Harris Jayraj BGM
Logic loopholes
Jayam Ravi's flying scenes
Same old abandoned shack fighting/chasing scenes
Dhaam Dhoom is watchable and it is a refreshing change from the usual movies. Lots of similarities with Dasavatharam.
If this movie also succeeds, then Tamil cinema will continue on this genre.
Lakshmi Rai cannot act even if her life depends on it.
Some scenes may cause uneasiness when watching with family.
(Are there actually cinemas in India showing
that kind of movies? "huh: ) CPR
Story is about a medical student who goes on a sponsored trip to Moscow, leaving behind his village belle. Unknowingly he gets entrapped into a drug ring and gets into trouble with the authorities. How he manages in a land where only foreign language is spoken and whether he returns to India is the rest of the story.
Story is told in flashbacks and switches between India and Moscow - quite interesting. There is a twist, but if you have seen many hollywood movies, you would know what to expect.
Part of the dialogue is in Russian, but when it matters, there are tamil subtitles.
There are some scenes which will make the girls go awwwwww while the guys will
Its definitely a movie for youth and is quite light-hearted. First half is racy while second half drags.
If Unnale Unnale was a pointless movie, Dhaam Dhoom is slightly better. Somehow I didnt get the feeling to want to watch again. But my guess is that the film will do well.
Dhaam Dhoom - slick without much substance.

My Review
Saw Dhaam Dhoom yesterday...went in only for Jeeva's photography... came out completely disappointed...
Jeeva has tried a new genre leaving behind his campus love stories.. this time its more into gautam menon's shoes (Yeah...so called thriller)...
First...The script is awful... though the oneliner is interesting and there are some twists, the screenplay is full of loopholes... speedbreakers everywhere.
Heroine... there was a complete mismatch... Kangana, a stunning beauty looks a total misfit to be a village gurl
(though some scenes in the village are rib-tickling)
Lakshmi Rai's characterisation is pathetic... a lawyer who always is filled with fear and then love... there's no guts visible which every lawyer shud have.
Jayam Ravi's...supposed to be a Doctor... he jumps out of traffic and starts dancing on the bus... high time comedy this is...
Dialogues ....ooops the worst part...very ordinary... no reseach work being done i guess... especially the medical talks are damn childish...
BGM - too loud...might be to coverup the bad dialogues...
harris too doesnt contribute anything here...
Russian itself is full of complications, for which the script has to be strong...its as if a collge guy has written a loose story with no research... disappointment.
Finally the cinematography... Dunno why this happened with Jeeva... Russia has been completely wasted... except a few scenes where u get the Jeeva touch... otherwise nothing new...already seen... the coloring isnt consistent at all...
Finally when I cam out of the theatre jus felt "A wonderful oneliner gone waste"... had Jeeva been there the film might been atleast technically better.

In the original, the chinese actress performed really well. The character is more powerful than that of Richard Gere. She is the only person who tries to save RG. How could they cast some one like Lakshmi Rai for this role?

Dhaam Dhoom in Malaysia
Prasanna Singh [August 28, 2008, 12:57:09 PM]
Jayam Ravi could not have asked for more! Late director Jeeva’s swan song Dhaam Dhoom is releasing big time and is taking Jayam Ravi places. The film will release worldwide with a huge number of prints which is unusual for a Jayam Ravi film. It is being released worldwide in a manner that is common to already-established stars like Ajith or Vijay, and Jayam Ravi is extremely happy about this. Unlike his earlier movies, Dhaam Dhoom’s reach is very large, its appeal is international, and it has the potential to transform this young romantic-hero with massive broad shoulders into the next action hero of Kollywood.
In Malaysia, the Censor Board has given a clean chit to this film so it releases there without a single cut. Dhaam Dhoom’s opening night is Malaysia is a celebratory occasion. The first three weekends are already sold out.
Exotic locales in Russia, Kangana Raunat, Lakshmi Rai, an exciting screenplay, Jayaram's vital role which generated curiosity but was successfully kept under wraps, and above all, the broad-shouldered Jayam Ravi have heightened everyone's excitement and interest levels.
Seeing how things are shaping up, it looks like Jayam Ravi need not be overly concerned with video piracy, as people seemed to have understood that this bonanza is better when watched on big screens.

Directed by Jeeva
Starring Jayam Ravi, Kangana Ranaut, Lakshmi Rai, Jayaram, Anu Haasan, Nizhalgal Ravi, Maria Kojernikova, Srinath, Janaki Sabesh, Chethan, Mahadevan, Bose, Srinath
THERE are three main reasons for seeing this movie — its beautiful songs, the cinematography and the scenes shot in Russia.
Seldom is Russia seen in Indian movies despite the two countries’ close ties.
Director Jeeva died of a heart attack in Russia after shooting 80 per cent of the movie.
His wife, with the help of Jeeva’s assistants and ace cinematographer P.C. Sreeram, finished the movie. Major portions of it were shot in Russia.
This is a romantic action movie. The hero, Dr Gautham (Jayam Ravi), leaves India for Russia to attend a medical conference two weeks before he is scheduled to marry Shenba (Kangana Ranaut).
There, he is accused of killing a Russian model who had shared a few drinks with him.
An Indian lawyer based in Moscow, Aarthi (Lakshmi Rai), and an Indian embassy representative there, Raghavan (Jayaram), offer to help him prove his innocence.
Things get a bit sticky when armed men try to kill Dr Gautham while on the way to court.
So we get plenty of action scenes (choreographed by Casino Royale-fame stunt director Chris Anderson, with help from Indian stunt master, Kanal Kannan).
In between, the hero has flashbacks to show how he met his true love. Of course, there are also the songs.
Just like the songs he composed for Jeeva’s Unnale Unnalae (which was almost completely filmed in Australia), Harris Jayaraj’s six songs for Dhaam Dhoom are superb.
The songs were available way before the movie was released and have become very popular.
Malaysian LockUp band singer Guna, is singing the rap number, Pudhu Pudhu. All the songs are well picturised and a delight to watch.
Care has been taken with the background score as well.
The story was inspired by the 1997 Richard Gere film Red Corner. But the reason given for killing the model and putting the blame on the Indian doctor seems too flimsy. The story would probably have been better told if Jeeva had been alive to complete his film.
Jayam Ravi has learnt to emote well after completing only a dozen movies. He also shows gumption in the stunt scenes, despite his obvious weight problem.
His earlier movie with Genelia, Santosh Subramaniam, is still doing roaring business in India.
Kangana Kanaut is new to Tamil movies. Jeeva has utilised her well, showing both her glamorous side and acting talents.
Lakshmi Rai, dogged by controversy after her pictures were found on a pimp, makes a re-entry into Tamil movies in a plum role.
I was impressed with the way the scenes in Russia were shot. It’s like we are watching real-life incidents.
We have truly lost a great director (and talented cinematographer as well). He was always ready to experiment with unique themes like in the movie 12B.
Dhaam Dhoom is technically a masterpiece and should do well at the box office with Jayam Ravi’s popularity at the zenith.

Chris Anderson was also the stunt director for Mission Impossible 3..But i think DD got lukewarm response here...No crowd in the theatres for the weekend shows and tickets were easily available...

But, considering the num. of screens - Its a record for his film here...

Failed to understand why the opening was poor...DD had popular songs and i thought that will be good enough to attract the people..But it did not..
Even 'whats-his-name''s movie had a good opening in the weekend..
Maybe marketing??Satyam was well promoted by the local radio channels..They should have made an effort to promote DD by at least showing the trailer on tv channels..

Like all his films, you see his style of showing his characters. Are they interesting enough? Not really. There is one thing that appealed an average urban audience - the urbanized rural. The two girls looked fine, that's another USP.

I agree he wasted his energy as a director. As a cinematographer he was good. In one of Vijay TV's programs (don't remember neeya naana/vijay awards program), the audience answered for 'who do you think the best director in tamil?' question. All of them are youngsters, one guy said Jeeva.
Sliding doors just moves on without any confusion but 12B was just chaos, he doesn't know how to move forward and end it. That is the only movie I watched from him.

True. Reminds me of a recent movie, 'Nepali'... OMG!!! The bgm was there all the way unnecessarily, that too so loud... IMO the bgm spoilt most of the scenes...

Saw
Dhaam Dhoom
Just an OK movie.
+ves / those I liked:
* Cinematography .... both Mascow & Village scenes are captured well
* Both the beauties Kangana & Lakshmi Rai (not w.r.t their acting)
* Duet between Jeyam Ravi & Kangana before he goes to Moscow (aazhiyile muthu song)
* Songs - Audio & Video
-'ves / that I don't like:
* First & foremost I like to mention Harris BGM
. Someone told it was taken from a hollywood film. Even if it is his original, I don't like it. I noticed that, if it is an action film, he thinks that he needs to make more noise to give the action impact & he does the same. shabaaa... kadhu vali thangalai
* some scenes (esp. those in Kangana's family) looks like watching a serial or saree advertisement.
* Srinath (comedian) he imitates Sandhanam (enna kodumai idhu) which inturn was inspired from Gounder (IMO). Whenever Srinath delivers a dialogue, it reminded me that Santhanam would do exactly the same way :P
Few of my Comments:
* Jeyam Ravi is always on a run & someone / a group of people starts shooting him for every 5 mins once. Producer could start a competion asking the viewers to guess the no. of bullets shot from the gun (cud be less than Vijayakanth
used in Captain Prabhakaran
)
* Jayaram is wasted.. appappo thalaiyai kattugirar
* Climax cud have been done better ... i guess it was done by someone else & not Jeeva
* whats the connection between "Dhaam Dhoom" title & the Film
* "chozhar parambarayil oru MLA" madhiri "Jeyam Ravi'ku oru action padam"............ matrapadi onrum periyadhaga illai.

Semma scene..Very sexy...
Suited the lyrics and mood of the song..
Ravi and kangana were kissing like nobody's business
.. Erkanave there were rumors that ravi and kangana are in a relationship, so now i suspect that both are really seeing each other
