Nagasaki. DAM999 spreads the message about the consequences of an unfortunate
disaster which is predicted in the near future. Dam999, a fact worth waiting

NAVARASA
Navarasa is the essence of Dam999. It is the idea steering its story and the
nine lead characters in it. Dam999 brings into play the long standing concept
of Navarasa but in a way that is exceptionally original. The individuality of
the characters is the element that each character is the personification of one
rasa. Their nature, the intensity of their reactions, their strengths, their
failings – all guided by the rasa they represent, which in turn shape the story
of Dam999. This very factor makes the movie the only one of its kind ever made.

these reflections on screen and portray it to the world.

musical movie will be redefined by DAM999.
