Damadamm, earlier titled as Ishq Unplugged, It is
Bollywood comedy film directed by Swapna Waghmare,
starring Himesh Reshammiya, Sonal Sehgal and Purbi Joshi
in lead roles in a rom-com that comes across as a slice
of life film. To put it simply, it is the story about
two girls and a guy.
Himesh Reshammiya is a respected Music Director and a
singer himself. Not all singers are handsome or talented
as actors, and not all actors are as good as singer as
compared to their acting prowess. As an actor our
Himeshbhai is way below the mark. He is not chocolate
faced nor does have the built to boast of, and yes as an
actor is his less talented than his singing. So would it
not be better he sticks to where he is the best – Music
and Singing?
He
feels like the happiest person in the world, he parties,
drinks, and even flirts with girls. He enjoys his
freedom while he can.
The other character is his boss' sister (Sonal Sehgal)
who is open-minded and smiles sweetly at him, and
believes that people should be given `their space'. The
hero is impressed! He gets drawn towards her. All hell
breaks loose when the girlfriend returns from her
hometown. Sameer is in a fix.
Himesh is not bad looking, but as mentioned earlier, he
is best as a singer. Sonal Sehgal looks alluring and
acts well. Purbi Joshi is impressive. A known name in
television drama, she is most welcome to bollywood
cinema.

Damadamm is the story of
Sameer (Himesh Reshammiya) who has finally got his freedom
when his stubby-girlfriend Shikha (Purbi Joshi) has left
for a family wedding. His life is perfect, except that he
has an over-possessive and constantly nagging girl-friend
in his life.
The girl friend claims she trusts him, when obviously she
doesn’t. Shikha calls him all the time; and each time he
has “reasons” - low battery, bad connectivity, and other
fabricated lies.
On second thoughts, she has logic, as in a relationship
she has the right to feel loved and wanted by her partner.
When this is a bit overstretched, it is called “over
possiveness”.
The film's original soundtrack
has been composed by Himesh Reshammiya and Sachin Gupta
while the lyrics are penned by Sameer, Himesh Reshammiya
and Shabbir Ahmed. It has two chart busting numbers, the
‘No touching’ and “Umrao Jaan” which is sung by Himesh
Reshammiya himself.
It begins well, but as it progresses, the plot gets
predictable after a point and loses the steam. Nothing is
great about this film except the two catchy songs which
are well picturised and the film does have some hilarious
lines that do bring a smile on your face.
