What makes it different from others?

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Being a remake of a not-so-good American thriller, 'Red Corner', 'Dhaam Dhoom' manages to provide some thrills and moments of its own, kudos to the visionary director, Jeeva, his wife, Anees Jeeva, and his assistant director, G. K. Manikandan, and his mentor-cum-cinematographer, P. C. Sreeram. These four people had put their effort for making this movie. Did it do well? Well, yes and no. Yes, because, as mentioned earlier, it has its own moments and thrills. No, because it mostly tests the audience's patience, as it plods in the runtime of 2 hours and 22 minutes. It is so dragging, the audience feels so restless. Watch it as a lazy-weekend movie, when you literally have nothing to do. Or if you wish to skip it, then go ahead.
