Dhaam Dhoom, Cinematographer-director Jeeva’s last film
which has been shot entirely in Russia but for song sequences
which have been canned in Pollachi, Chennai, Coorg and Hyderabad.
Russia is the place around which the entire film is woven.
The film starts at Chennai, travels to Moscow and culminates
in Chennai. Pollachi appears in flash back scenes.

Jeyam
Ravi leaves for a five day medical conference to Russia
where he gets caught in a tight spot. How he returns
to India forms the main plot of the film. Though the
film appears to be an action packed one, it delves on
the romantic angle in an artistic manner.
Screen play revolves around Jeyam Ravi a medical student
from Chennai, Kangana Ranaut a chirpy, naughty girl
from Pollachi and Lakshmi Roy, a lawyer settled in Russia.
Jeeva’s associate Manikandan reveals that though
English unites many nations across the world, Russia
is still untouched by this language and this aspect
will be understood when watching Dhaam Dhooom, he further
adds.
Dhaam Dhoom, a spectacular visual treat which encompasses
Russia’s 200 year old library and court, picturesque
locations in Coorg and Pollachi which are very aesthetically
captured. |

Kangana
Ranaut who appeared in Hindi films like Gangster, life in
Metro has traveled south of Vindhyas to Tamil for the first
time and looks ravishing and acts too. Lakshmi Roy is reported
to have pinned her hopes on this film to get a firm footing
in Kollywood. Jeyam Ravi’s chasing scenes in Russia
has tuned out very well. Chris Anderson who has worked in
films like “War of the World” has choreographed
the action sequences. A fine romantic film spun around action
laden with emotions. |

Jeeva
has handled the screen play and cinematography in the
initial part and his assistant Manikandan has carried
on his mantle later. Camera has been handled by Rajashekar.
Now for how the songs have been picturized:
Aazhiyile penned by Muthukumar is a sensual number which
has been shot in a moving car in Chennai.
Anbe En Anne, once again written by Muthukumar is picturized
on Ravi and Kangana in Coorg. A difficult piece to capture
indeed! Hard work of the entire unit is evident. Jeeva’s
stamp is visible in every frame in this number. |

Item
number Dhikku Dhikku written by Paa Vijay has Russian model
Maria gyrating to the steps of Raju Sundaram and this is the
last song shot by Jeeva. The song has been completely canned
at the Ramoji Rao Film studios at Hyderabad. A very fast and
peppy number which would make the audience stand up and dance.
Sakhiye sakhiye number written by Paa Vijay captures the beauty
and elegance of St. Petersburg and the interiors of the churches
there are a visual treat.
Pudhu Pudhu vazhi, the intro number of Jeyam Ravi has an Iranian
tea stall set erected by art director Thota Tharani. The song
is said to be shot for five days with 500 junior artists.
