But the film unequivocally belongs to . After proving her mettle in action films like Uri and A Thursday , she leans into a full-blown action-comedy avatar here. Komal is written as a deceptively strong character—she is not a damsel in distress but the driver of the plot (literally and figuratively). Yami delivers snappy one-liners with deadpan perfection while also performing impressive stunt choreography. She makes you believe that a bride in a heavy lehenga could indeed knock out a henchman with a fire extinguisher.
The screenplay, however, stumbles in the second act. The mystery of the key is convoluted and takes a backseat for too long, making the middle stretch feel repetitive. While the banter between Veer and Komal is sharp, the plot mechanics holding them together are flimsy. What would a film titled Dhoom Dhaam be without a banger soundtrack? The music, composed by Tanishk Bagchi and Sachin-Jigar, is intentionally loud and catchy.

They are opposites who, according to their families, "attract." But the film unequivocally belongs to
as the antagonist provides a cool, calm counterpoint to the leads’ frenzy, though his character’s backstory is a little thin. The supporting cast, including veteran actors like Supriya Pathak (as Veer’s overbearing mother) and Prateik Babbar in a cameo, add flavorful spice to the proceedings. Direction and Action: Style Over Substance? Directors Rishab Seth and Shashank Khaitan wear their influences on their sleeves. Dhoom Dhaam owes a visible debt to Hollywood rom-com-actioners like Date Night (2010) and Game Night (2018), as well as Bollywood’s own Dhoom series (hence the title nod).
