===Reviews===
[[Taran Adarsh]] of [[Bollywood Hungama]] says "On the whole, DAMADAMM isn't bad, but it isn't great either. Though it has a hit score to its credit and some endearing moments, it will have to rely on a strong word of mouth to withstand a mighty opponent [RA.ONE]."<ref>[http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/14212/index.html Hindi Movies | Bollywood Movies | New Hindi Movies - Bollywood Hungama]</ref> Mayank Shekhar of [[Hindustan Times]] added, "This film actually has a darn good script"<ref>http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/reviews/Mayank-Shekhar-s-review-Damadamm/Article1-762144.aspx</ref>

[[Dainik Bhaskar]] reviews it as "The story is simple, predictable with pinch of humour and emotions. This love saga is something anyone would have watched millions of times, however, what's noteworthy is the placement of the sequences which are successful in letting the story be a simple one and not complicating it further".<ref>[http://daily.bhaskar.com/article/ENT-movie-review-damadamm-2524310.html Movie Review: Damadamm]</ref>
