Yami Gautam-starrer Dhoom Dhaam brings adult comedy mixed with suspense and a slightly dark theme, making it unsuitable for family viewing, as reported by Indian media.
According to a review by Deeksha Sharma, this dark comedy film is a rare release in Bollywood after a long time. The movie is available for home viewing only, as Netflix released it four days ago instead of a theatrical release.
Dhoom Dhaam is a suspenseful thriller with mature adult humor. The film’s title is bold, and its content is unfiltered. Some may find its themes controversial, including girls using explicit language and discussing sex, which might not sit well with Pakistani and Indian audiences.
Millions of moviegoers in both countries tend to avoid adult comedy films. According to Deeksha Sharma, Yami Gautam, not typically seen as a conventional Bollywood heroine, takes the lead in this film.
Interestingly, Pratik Gandhi, despite his success in Scam, struggles to advance his career. The film presents a unique storyline that may be unfamiliar to Indian audiences, featuring an arranged marriage scenario with an unexpected twist.
After the hero and heroine are married, a mysterious guest appears, bringing danger to their honeymoon. The couple faces two choices: jump from the hotel floor or comply with the gunman’s demands. A high-speed chase unfolds on Mumbai’s roads, with death hot on their heels.
The couple is on the run from a past mistake made before their marriage. The film, running for 100 minutes, is packed with suspense and features moments of dark comedy, particularly satirizing marriage traditions.
Yami Gautam delivers a standout scene reminiscent of Kartik Aaryan’s famous monologue. The film includes a couple of twists to keep things engaging until the end. It focuses purely on entertainment, without any forced emotions or unnecessary motivations.
Releasing it on OTT platforms instead of theaters was the right decision. It’s a one-time watch with strong performances from both leads, though some elements may feel predictable.
