Dhoom Dham stars Chetan Krishna and Hebba Patel and was released today. Let’s dive into the review to see how well it resonated with audiences.
Story
Karthik (Chetan Krishna) deeply loves his father (Sai Kumar), who has high hopes for him. Karthik reciprocates this love and aspires to meet his father’s expectations. Enter Suhana (Hebba Patel), who changes Karthik’s life. The film follows the complexities that unfold as Karthik makes a mistake in his attempt to please his father, while his father also errs in his quest to support his son. How do these actions affect Suhana’s family, and what twists await? This forms the crux of the story.
Positives
The film successfully blends comedy, romance, and wedding sequences, drawing from the strong bond between father and son. The emotional moments also add depth. Chetan Krishna delivers a strong performance, with solid body language and expressions. Sai Kumar, in a pivotal role, does justice to his character, while Hebba Patel adds charm with her glamorous presence.
Goparaju Ramana, as Suhana’s grandfather, adds humor with his mannerisms. Vennela Kishore, who appears in a key role in the second half, brings plenty of laughs with his punchlines and well-timed comedy with the lead characters. Supporting actors like Sivannarayana, Banerjee, Sai Srinivas, Praveen, Naveen Neni, Giridhar, and Bhadram also perform well, contributing to the humor, especially in the wedding scenes.
Negatives
While the film’s core idea has potential, it could have been more engaging and consistently entertaining. The second half’s enjoyable comedy is missing in the first half, making it feel slow and less engaging. The conflict between the families could have been developed better; some scenes in this sequence feel weak and lack logic. Additionally, the love track between the lead characters lacks intensity. Although the second half has its fun moments, the director fails to sustain this tone throughout the film.
Technical Aspects
The technical team has done well. Gopi Sundar’s music is a highlight, and Siddharth Ramaswamy’s cinematography adds to the visual appeal. Amar Reddy Kudumula’s editing is effective, and the production values from MS Ram Kumar are commendable. While Sai Kishore Macha’s direction is decent, the screenplay could have been more impactful.
Verdict
Overall, Dhoom Dham offers a mix of family drama and comedy, with an entertaining second half and enjoyable wedding scenes. However, a weak first half, predictable screenplay, and underdeveloped characters lessen its impact. This film may appeal to audiences looking for lighthearted fun, but it may not fully satisfy those looking for a gripping storyline.
