Finally, Dhoomam is here! After its long-delayed streaming, the movie is now available on Apple TV!
It was great to see Fahadh Faasil and Roshan Mathew playing together after the movie C U Soon.
Sooo, what did we think about Dhoomam? The story was very creative and opened our eyes to cruel business ethics, nonetheless, the plot was unnecessarily complicated making it longer than it should have been. But it’s still worth watching and we give it a Water rating
Thank you for tuning into our review of Dhoomam, I go by Rose, hope everyone is doing fantastic!
Delicious
—Let me just appreciate Preetha Jayaraman who handled the photography. I always get excited when a lady is behind the cinematography. The brisk and curious camera movements showed the details that we wanted to see and ignited the thrill of the story. It made Dhoomam enjoyable
—There’s no way to complain when Roshan Mathew is in the house; his haircut alone gave him a young and fresh vibe. The way he talked, walked, and carried himself radiated the wealthy and proud businessman that he was. Fahadh Faasil played the role Avi, a marketing head. What I admire about him is his ability to switch, one moment he behaves humbly because he’s jobless, then another one, he’s the self-assured marketing head, then we see him distressed, tearing up, that’s a pro right there!
—Dhoomam is not your typical movie about discouraging people from smoking; the story was told through the lens of the cigarette business companies as we got to witness their cruelty, greed, and desire to get rid of anything and anyone pausing an obstacle
Bland
—The entire movie was told through constant flashbacks as Avi narrated the background of his company to his wife, Diya, played by Aparna Balamurali. It became overwhelming to always have to go back in the past to understand why this and that situation was happening. Mmm…
—The film was unnecessarily complicated ‘cos when Avi and Diya are trapped, they’re asked to complete tasks that don’t really make sense, and then you keep on wondering how will they ever get out of this mess? Finally, the movie just ends abruptly, and you’re like what?
For 2 hours and 20 minutes, we were cracking our heads for nothing as we got a sudden ending.
So sad that Dhoomam was delivered in this way, but hey, it was Pawan Kumar’s creation, as the director and writer he does what he wants; we’re just glad to have been able to finally see it online. Catch Dhoomam on Apple TV. And it’s my time to say ‘peace’!
