The film features a multi-national cast comprising of Ashish Vidyarthi, Joshua Fredric Smith, Rajit Kapur, Vinay Rai, Vimala Raman, Linda Arsenio, Megha Burman, Jaala Pickering, and Jineeth Rath. The movie which focuses on the theme of the disastrous effects of dam construction is an emotional and thrilling voyage.

The story revolves around Vinayak Chacko, a dam engineer who is haunted by his dark past. To escape his inner demons, he relocates to a remote island where there is a dam project underway. In the process, he meets his estranged father and puts his relationship with his wife at stake. Meanwhile, a group of fishermen from his village fight against the construction of the dam that they believe will destroy their livelihood.

As the construction progresses, a series of events take place that will force everyone involved to confront the devastating consequences of their actions. The dam, built with outdated technology, poses a grave threat to the nearby town that lies below it. The situation worsens with the onset of a powerful storm, resulting in a race against time to save the town and its people.

One of the unique features of the movie is the inclusion of the myth of the Navarasam, Nine Basic Emotions that are said to make up human nature. It is said that the emotions are the root of everything we do and the film tries to present this concept through a variety of situations. Each of the Nine Basic Emotions (Shringaram, Karunyam, Bheebatsam, Raudram, Hasyam, Bhayanakam, Veeram, Adbhutam, and Shantam) are embodied by the different characters in different parts of the story.

The film's backdrop remains the central character of the movie throughout, with breathtaking scenes of the dam and the surrounding landscape. The movie features music by Bollywood composers such as Ouseppachan and Hariharan, which matches the mood and setting of the story.

The acting in Dam 999 is commendable, with the cast delivering noteworthy performances. Ashish Vidyarthi, who portrays the protagonist Vinayak Chacko, brings his character's turmoil to life. Joshua Fredric Smith as Captain Fredrick Brown does well as the captain of a ship stuck beneath the dam.

Overall, Dam 999 is an emotional and thrilling ride. The movie subtly highlights the adverse effects of dam construction and the consequences that come with ill-planned projects.
