DAM999 is an emotional thriller which characterizes 9 emotions of 9 people. The movie is directed by Sohan Roy and music is given by Ousephachen. The movie is a full fledged entertainment which focuses on the ancient Indian Ayurveda and Navarasa. Before the movie's release the Screenplay of the movie has already been selected for the permanent Core Collection in the Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, that itself is a great achievement. The songs, dialogues and the story are so wonderful and have become favorites of many by now. The number 999 represents the 999-year lease agreement on the control of Dam to the Government of Tamil Nadu, made during the British Empire in India. When it comes to performance Ashish Vidyarthi and Linda has done a fabulous job, Joshua has been fair to the role. The dam breaking part was the best scene in the movie. Well scripted and cinematography was too good. DAM999 is a good roller coaster ride...

Sohan Roy directed DAM999 which is released both in 2D and 3D. The movie follows a mix of international and Indian cast shot in various locations. The debut-ante director's work turned to be very impressive, let it be drama or presenting the character depth on screen. Even technically brilliant work especially the ship shots in the beginning and the dam breaking scene was incredibly done.When it comes to acting Linda Arsenio and Ashish Vidhyarthi has done a tremendous job. American actor Joshua also did a pleasant work with his dialogs. Every character has a Rasa to their character, where 9 characters with 9 Rasa.The story is a newly heard one with a variety in script. It is not a commercial one so might not please the mass audience but yes, the rest. The movie's Music is composed by Ousephachen, very good indeed. It adds to the movie's flow. And Ajayan Vincent's cinematography was outstanding.I say Thumbs Up for the movie and the director.!!

DAM 999 a poignant title with enigmatic number 9. Movie reflects information and awareness to the people. It details ancient concepts of India as of Ayurveda,Astrology, Navarasa etc. Linked to the theme of story, music makes emotional waves. Movie raises a current issue which is as threatening as the global warming. Its presentation is a tribute to Banqiao Dam Disaster in China. It staying apart as of first international movie by the mariners. 3D project makes the reality rather than 2D. Technical shooting locations match best to the story. Shot on 'Front Sabang', the largest ship ever used for filming. Emotional thriller with 9 different perspectives revealing the power of enigmatic number 9. First 3D website for a movie.

Prologue: Watched this movie from 'Sridar'(theatre) in 3d today. As it was a movie by a keralite, & we are having a similar problem here in kerala , (Mullaperiyar Dam) the urge to watch the movie was very high. Read in newspapers that the script made to the Oscar library. So altogether, the expectations about this movie was high.Story: Its all about the figure 999 which has got importance all along.Two mariners coming home. Both having their own personal problems.The director tried to connect the dam to the characters in the movie. Their emotions holding back like a Dam & finally dam breaks at the same time the emotions are also opened. I could understand the story of 'Inception' in one watch. But this was complicated. It fails to connect with the viewers.Cast: Casting was like 'hmm.ok'. Thats it. Everybody did their part. But apart from the main actors, all others lacked professionalism. It was like they were made to act.You could feel, you are watching a movie.You couldn't live in it.Music: There is no notable music to show up off in this movie. Background score was poor. Actually we have seen lot of movies, though being average, getting uplifted by the background score. The songs were not impressive.Camera: Cinematography was good. But you don't notice it, since the movie is boring.My Verdict: This movie is boring. Will make you feel like a loser. It fails to communicate with the viewers. Not at all recommended. Im gonna watch a good movie from my library & save my day. phew... 3/10.
