‘Dhoom Dhaam’ teaser: Pratik Gandhi, Yami Gautam Dhar in odd-couple action comedy
The Hindu
Netflix's Dhoom Dhaam, a comedy-action film starring Pratik Gandhi and Yami Gautam Dhar, will release in February.
Pratik Gandhi and Yami Gautam Dhar are newlyweds on the run in Netflix’s upcoming comedy, Dhoom Dhaam.
On their wedding night, odd-couple Koyal (Gautam Dhar) and Veer (Gandhi) are set upon by goons. Koyal, it turns out, is a fierce fighter, exceptionally handy with a gun, and the duo slalom through the night giving the slip to their pursuers.
Combining comedy and action, Dhoom Dhaam is directed by Rishab Seth and produced by Aditya and Lokesh Dhar of B62 Studios along with Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios.
The film is set to stream on Netflix from Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2025.
Producers Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dhar said in a statement, “With Dhoom Dhaam, we wanted to create something unique and entertaining, where humour, chaos, action and romance come together in a fresh, high-energy story. Collaborating with Netflix has been an amazing journey, allowing us to bring this thrilling narrative to a global audience. Yami and Pratik have done an incredible job capturing the essence of Koyal and Veer, with their amazing chemistry and depth.”

A vacuum cleaner haunted by a ghost is the kind of one-liner which can draw in a festival audience looking for a little light-hearted fun to fill the time slots available between the “heavier” films which require much closer attention. A useful ghost, the debut feature of Thai filmmaker Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke being screened in the world cinema category at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), even appears so in the initial hour. Until, the film becomes something more, with strong undercurrents of Thailand’s contemporary political history.

Sustainability is not an add-on, but stamped firmly into the process: every piece is biodegradable, waste-free and unembellished, free from glitter or beads. “Products should be sustainable and biodegradable so that our planet is not harmed,” says Anu Elizabeth Alexander, a student of Sishya, Adyar. At a recent exhibition, the stars she made sold the fastest, followed by the small diamonds. “I would like people to know about the process, how it is created, and that it is sustainable,” says Anu. Infanta Leon from Kotturpuram developed an interest in crochet as a teenager. It was a hobbyhorse that evolved into a steed that would help her embark on a journey of identity-shaping creative engagement. She started making Christmas-themed decor two years ago, spurred by a desire to craft safe, eco-friendly toys for children. “With a toddler at home, and my elder child sensitive to synthetic materials, I wanted to create items that were gentle, durable and tactile,” she explains. Her earliest creations were small amigurumi toys which gradually evolved into ornaments that could adorn Christmas trees with warmth and charm.
