Dhamarukam is a socio-fantasy film with Nagarjuna and Anushka as the lead pair.
The film is said to be loosely based on the novel, “The Immortals of Meluha”.  
The Immortals of Meluha is the first novel of the Shiva trilogy series by Amish Tripathi, an alumnus of IIM Calcutta.

The movie is expected to be a grand saga across ages, spanning both the ancient and modern times.
Given the popular reception that the book has recieved, one expects the story element to be very strong in this movie.

The film is said to be in the genre of films like Magadheera and Arundhati with a lot of special effects and action.
The movie is loaded with some of most breathtaking visual effects ever for an Indian movie and is going to set a new bench mark as far as VFX standards go in India.

The music album by Devi Sri Prasad has also got a very good reception.
The devotional songs dedicated to Lord Shiva are very well done.

Overall, the expectations for this movie are very high.
Given the Diwali festive season, Nagarjuna's star appeal and the divine element, the movie is expected to be a commercial success.
