Fahadh Faasil, Roshan Mathew, Aparna Balamurali Starrer Deals With Kidnapping, Greed and Wealth! (Watch Video).
Times Of India: "Dhoomam, a thriller based on the evils of the cigarette business, feels at least a decade behind the times, in terms of subject and storytelling. While it is noble to hit people with a good message while also entertaining, society seems to have more impending issues, like environmental hazards or communalism, or even drugs."
Onmanorama: "Dhoomam' which starts off with clarity, tends to lose its focus as it progresses. Some of the scenes are not convincing enough, though there are quite a few engaging moments in the movie that have been backed by powerful performances. Fahadh's stellar performances also keep the audience engaged." Dhoomam: Fahadh Faasil and Aparna Balamurali’s Film with U-Turn Fame Director Pawan Kumar Goes on Floors!

Check Out The Trailer Of Dhoomam Here:
OTTPlay: " The movie, starring Fahadh Faasil, Aparna Balamurali and Roshan Mathew, tries to delve too deep into the manipulations and marketing of cigarettes that it forgets its core purpose to engage the audience. In Dhoomam, when the present gets interesting, the flashbacks veers into a territory that doesn’t offer startling revelations, and when Avinash’s past gets gripping with the protagonist growing a conscience, their current situation decelerates to a point where it doesn’t quite get the desired effect. The emotional scenes between its characters also fall flat and this puts out any fire that Dhoomam had going for it."
Hindustan Times: "Pawan Kumar's Malayalam suspense thriller Dhoomam, starring Fahadh Faasil, has finally released in cinemas. From the first reactions, the film seems like another winner from the filmography of Fahadh Faasil."
