Dam 999 is an upcoming thriller from Indian director Sohan Roy and writer Rob Tobin. The story is based on a true event, the 1975 collapse of the Banqiao dam in China that ultimately resulted in a quarter of a million deaths. The film will also deal with the Indian concept of Navarasa, the nine human emotions, giving the number nine signifigance beyond the dam. There's also a heavy emphasis on visuals, with the film being released in 3D.

The dam in the film is both physical and metaphorical, making this a psychological thriller as well as a traditional one. While the dam is real and presents a real danger, the title also refers to the many characters in the film and their tendency to "dam" their emotions. Characters will be scrutinized and everyone will have to face their inner demons, lest their own personal dams break at some point. The idea seems to be that sooner or later, everything has to come out.
