Production

The film was initially set to be titled Idiot after the Telugu version, but the title was later changed.[2] A. Venkatesh remade the film from Puri Jagannadh's 2002 Kannada film Appu, which was also remade in Telugu in 2002 as Idiot. Venkatesh was keen to cast Kiran Rathod, but later selected Rakshita, who appeared in all three versions of the film.[3] During the making of the film, Silambarasan did his own stunts including a risky jump from the fifth floor of a building.[4]

Soundtrack

There are eight songs composed by Deva, while Sabesh–Murali handled the background score. The songs Chanakya, Polladha Padava, Manase are reused from the original Telugu film. The song "Chanakya Chanakya" was sampled by Bulgarian pop-folk singer Emilia in her song "Ti si mi". Lyrics written by Pa. Vijay and Kabilan.Шаблон:Citation needed

Release and reception

Dum was a hit at the box office.[5]

Visual Dasan of Kalki wrote makers made masala by fooling fans without caring about logic while panning the lead hero's character design calling it wrong heroism and concluded saying it does not matter if cinema does not do good to the society, there is no need to do bad things like this.[6] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote the film had "a racy screenplay, a fast-paced narration, non-stop action that leaves no room for lagging moments. All going to assure that 'Dum' makes for some compelling viewing for the youth and action lovers."[7]
