Daam dhoom

Daring, dashing

Though the fact that director Jeeva is no more haunts us when Dham Dhoom starts, its racy pace, stunning visuals and soothing music make us to gell with the movie, not to forget about the twists and turns the script has got.

Apart from positioning Jayam Ravi as an action hero, the film also throws a challenge to Hollywood movies, as far as stunt sequences and cinematography are concerned.

The story revolves around Gowtham Subramaniam (Jayam Ravi), a medico, who goes to Russia to attend a conference. There he is arrested on the charges of murdering a girl, a crime which he has not committed actually.

With language becoming a major barrier, Indian Embassy comes to Gowtham's rescue by appointing an officer Raghavan (Jayaram) and an advocate Aarthy (Lakshmi Rai).

However, Gowtham escapes from the cops to crack the case himself. With Aarthy by his side, he finds out that Raghavan is the real culprit. How he bring things to light is what Dham Dhoom is all about.

Jayam Ravi plays the lead role with ease and elan. Kangana Ranaut as his fiancee and Lakshmi Rai as his rescuer support the film. But the surprise package is Jayaram, who has perhaps for the first time donned a role with grey shades.

Music by Harris Jayaraj is a major strength to the movie. Jeeva's camera brings before our eyes visuals that we have never-seen before. In short, Tamil cinema will miss the cinematographer-director a lot.
