'Damaal Dumeel' movie review: A film with reasonably good dark comedy (see pics)

There's not a single unwanted scene in the film. We keep hearing and seeing the hero's mobile phone ringing every now and then, but it is not until the climax we appreciate its importance in the story, especially its ringtone which leads to the final accident.
 
Similarly, we also randomly see children playing cricket in a scene and we realize the significance of this scene when the cricket ball sets in motion the series of accidents. Here's where you want to appreciate director Shree, who, I agree may not have delivered an outstanding film, but has proved the difference young filmmakers like him can bring to the industry.

You could see that he struggled with his expressions because this happens to be his big debut as a solo lead, one can expect him to be nervous. Nevertheless, he fits in his role and makes us believe that he can be a better lead actor with time. Remya doesn't have a meaty role but it's good as it is because the director doesn't let the romantic angle overshadow the main story. Shree ensures that we aren't bored by any overdose of melodrama and he succeeds at it.
