If you married ‘Iss Raat Ki Subah Nahin’ with a zillion iterations of the odd-couple and lovers-on-the-run and heist movies, you would get Dhoom Dhaam, a film which borrows from all these elements, while straining every nerve to be novel.

The trouble with skimming tropes is that your film, even with a fresh pairing, and despite a few flourishes, ends up more or less trope-y.

Freshly-married couple Koyal Chaddha (Yami Gautam Dhar) and Veer Poddar (Pratik Gandhi) find themselves on the run, dodging a couple of armed fellows who burst into their ‘suhaagraat’ suite, asking a question no one seems to have the answer to: where is Charlie?
As they try figuring who-what-which Charlie, the twosome flits from one possible spot to another, including a night-club where the bride’s best pal is a DJ, the swanky flat of a quirky ex (Prateik Babbar, in a walk-on part), the deserted building and its helpful watchman, with a couple of characters — a troubled relative (Kavin Dave) and a too-helpful cop (Mukul Chaddha) — popping up every now and then.
Effort has been made in creating a distinctly mismatched pair. She floors it; he is sedate. She is foul-mouthed, letting loose a string of ‘gaalis’ with aplomb; he is afflicted by multiple phobias. She also gets to deliver a monologue (anyone else thinking America Ferrara in ‘Barbie’?) about the shackles of patriarchy and why women need to lie in order to break free, which basically puts the spirited Dhar firmly in the driving seat, with the meek Gandhi playing catch-up, with her being referenced even in his few break-out moments.
One does make you break out in a grin. It involves Gandhi surrounded by a posse of lusty women: you know there will be a stripping sequence, but you enjoy it nevertheless because the actor, flaunting impressive pectorals, invites you to do so. Meanwhile, everything goes along till everyone fetches up in the villain’s den.
