What critics say Critics are largely negative: 0 of 8 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 6 gave it 2 or less.
What could've been a sweet, simple love story turns into a confused film that never justifies its spirited title.
Read the full reviewIronically, it's the songs of the film which stand out much more than the script, narrative, drama and performances.
Read the full reviewThis film actually has a darn good script, if you could excuse the hero for a bit. Just a bit. But how can you? We love you Himace. "Like mango, oh ho, like mango…"
On the whole, Damadamm! Is a dull fare which won't do well at the box-office.
Read the full reviewThough the film shows remarkable restraint in certain scenes, it is over-dramatic in others, which kills the flow. The musical interludes, fairly relevant for once, are too many.
Read the full reviewOn the whole, DAMADAMM isn't bad, but it isn't great either. Though it has a hit score to its credit and some endearing moments, it will have to rely on a strong word of mouth.
It is the underused Purbi Joshi as Himesh's overbearing girlfriend who steals the show. She imparts a sense of lived-in authenticity to her role, almost at times going beyond the script in search of her character's lost soul.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
