Koimoi feels the film is headed for a disaster: “Dam 999 will prove to be a damning disaster, for the audience as well as the producers. It just confuses the audience, especially since the screenplay, also penned by Tobin and Roy, makes such a hodgepodge of the whole story that the audience is left bored and supremely disinterested.”

Hindustan Times gives it a thumbs down as well: “The visuals, hardly scary, or real, appear for a minute or two max. We continue to be treated to some third-rate plot around an unrequited, horoscope unfriendly romance: “River of love flowing into the sea of separation…” Right.”

Glamsham wishes this film was a better one: “Were the energies channelized into establishing the Dam and its 999 years of lease and the tragedy that can come through politics and faulty construction, it would have been a force to reckon with at the Box Office.”

Now, several months later, the film that had literally run into troubled waters (ironically it tells the story of a water bomb) is ready for release. And what’s more, it would arrive in 3D! The film revolves around a hundred year old dam that had been built during the British rule in India. No prizes for guessing that the dam collapses in the film, and along with itthe emotional barricades erected by the film’s lead characters.

Dam 999 stars Ashish Vidyarthi, along with Joshua Frederic Smith, Rajit Kapur, Vinay Rai, Linda Arsenio, Vimala Raman, Megha Burman and Jineeth Rath along with several other actors. Cinematography is by Ajayan Vincent and music by Ouseppachan. Warner Bros. will release DAM999 in India in both 2D and 3D on 4th of November 2011.
