Dham Dhoom...

On Saturday i got to watch Jeeva's most anticipated movie "Dham Dhoom". Unfortunately it was Jeeva's last film. The industry has lost a promising director and a great cinematographer. All of his films were so clean and different in narration be it 12B, which according to me is one of the well narrated movie in Tamil cinema or Ullam Kaetkumae which amid troubles ran very well at the box office. Let me come to his last movie Dham Dhoom. Unlike his other films this is a suspense/thriller about how the hero proves himself innocent for the charges against him for a murder.

Story of the movie is no different from other movies of this genre like Snegithiyae. However the movie scores over other movies released in recent past in Cinematography. The blueish colour throughout the film is a plus. Apar from that, the picturisation of "Anbe Anbe...", "Yaro Manathilae..." and "Azhiyilae.." is simply mind blowing. I guess after "Pachai Nirame..." from Alaipayuthey these are the best picturised songs.

Background music sounds familiar all through the film. It sounds like a remix of Vetayadu Vilayadu and Dasavatharam. However it strengthens the movie.

The place where the movie loses is its Screenplay. It was very ordinary and some scenes of Kangana Raunat reduces the pace of the movie. Also editing was not that great. However given the fact that Jeeva died midway, we should appreciate the efforts of people who finished the work.

On the whole the movie is average but had Jeeva been alive i am sure that movie would have been totally different.

Rating : 3/5

Yes, the editing was bad. The whole team has struggled so much to connect the various parts of the movie. But coming to Kangana, It was an awesome character believing in Law of attraction..Getting whatever she believes..
