Dhoomakethu has a fun time-loop premise, a game Sajin Gopu and some genuinely funny moments, but runs out of steam long before Kuttan can break free. Go to Full Review Anandu Suresh The Indian Express Oct 3, 2026
2.5/5
Much like Groundhog Day, Dhoomakethu is also set in a very relatable environment. However, the script falters in its lack of clarity about how to develop its high concept further. Go to Full Review Vishal Menon The Hollywood Reporter India Sep 28, 2026

Dhoomakethu’s humorous treatment of the time loop concept works only to a certain extent, making the film an average fare. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
