watched the movie yesterday. 100% occupancy and that too on a Thursday morning. The expectations went high. The movie can be categorized as a drama with doses of disaster and tensed situations adding the flavor. The movie starts on a slow start and by the time of the interval it picks up the pace and the end 20 minutes were the real treat. The 3D added depth to the visuals and dam disaster scenes were crafted with great GFX supported by nice BGS. The story holds it uniqueness and freshness and the craftsmanship of the director is commanding. Locales were beautiful and captured nicely by the cinematographer. Songs were a mixture traditional, western and desi beats and the duet song stand apart. To summarize, the movie is worth a watch and a must-watch for all south Indian states.

Movie title Dam leads all about it, but there a story of mixed feelings and phases of life.portrays human minds of lost love & a dam alike...Story showcases natural treatments of India, linked to the back ground of two's love,and a couples dream for child. A simple lifestyle story, but sometimes missing story continuity,even though, melodious music. interested because it gives message to all. Marine scenes, ship interiors are captured perfectly. main character always in blue mood and missing to smile to his son, that feel negative to us . movie ending with a never ending story. 2-3 characters performed well enough, but others simply did acted. camera coverage is almost good.

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.

Dams become curious idioms of love, in Sohan Roy's DAM999. Just like a 100 year old dam, ineffective and feeble in holding the water and its pressure, the main protagonists of the movie -Vinay and Meera, turn unsuccessful in holding back their 'forbidden' love for each other. The fates of both are parallel and predictable- disaster. The dam breaks, bringing with it massive damage to lives and harmony. So does love, once exposed and let out, especially when it is barred and forbidden. Here lies the basic analogy and philosophy that the movie admits- Dams happen to be concrete representations of love, burdened with unrestrained fluids. Vinay, at one point in the movie talks about how he and Meera are like dams themselves – taking the pressure of emotions for others. Dam999 is essentially a beautiful love story, told in the backdrop of water, akin to its precursors, including 'Titanic'.
