Dhaam Dhoom is a 2008 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film based on the 1997 American film Red Corner. Written, filmed and directed by Jeeva shortly before his death and produced by Sunanda Murali Manohar, it stars Ravi Mohan (credited as Jayam Ravi), Jayaram, Kangana Ranaut and Lakshmi Rai. The film marked Ranaut's debut in the Tamil film industry.
The film revolves around an Indian Tamil doctor who, two weeks prior to his wedding, goes to Russia for a conference pertaining to his occupation. While in Russia, he struggles to cope with the language because of the Russian reluctance to speak English, and eventually, due to the gruesome murder of a local woman, he gets imprisoned. How the doctor manages to get himself out of jail with the help of an Indian female lawyer, forms the crux of the story.
Dhaam Dhoom was released worldwide, after a long delay, on 29 August 2008. It was the posthumous film that cinematographer Jeeva undertook before his death which occurred halfway through the production. The film, released as a tribute to Jeeva, was completed by his assistant G. K. Manikandan, and his wife Anees, and was overseen by cinematographer P. C. Sriram.
