Gaami Review: 1st and 2nd Half Report

Gaami 1st half: Average

Just like the riveting trailer suggests, the film revolves around three stories. Vishwak Sen portrays a banished aghora seeking a cure for his unusual medical condition. Abhinaya’s story unfolds, alongside another narrative involving illegal human experimentation. The parallel screenplay continues until the interval shot, with the human experimentation plot pushing boundaries.

As the build-up and intriguing drama captivate initially, the film later drags without offering clues about the unfolding events. The excessive ups and downs in the screenplay diminish the thrill.

Vishwak Sen, Chandini Chowdary, and Abhinaya deliver commendable performances, adding to the overall intrigue. The VFX and background score contribute positively to the film.

The adventurous ride and conclusion in the latter half will ultimately determine the film’s fate, deciding whether it’s worth the wait or not.

Gaami 2nd half: Below Average

The final act of the film truly captivates with its gripping intensity, earning the team well-deserved applause. However, the journey to this climax tests our patience, marred by logic-less scenes and an overly upfront screenplay that detracts from the overall thrill.

Despite these shortcomings, the film shines in cinematography and background elements, elevating certain aspects and leaving a lasting impression.

Gaami Final Review: “Noteworthy attempt, yet a trial of patience”

Well, it’s a groundbreaking concept introduced by aspiring commercial hero Vishwak Sen, and he deserves significant credit for tackling such an unusual subject. The team’s hard work is evident in bringing this unique concept to life.

Director Vidhyadhar’s efforts are visible on screen, but showcasing three stories simultaneously becomes a challenge. The parallel screenplay loses its grip as numerous upfront scenes disrupt the flow, testing the audience’s patience. The constant shifts between stories can be irritating, hindering the overall thrill.

Throughout the 2 hours and 23 minutes, the anticipation for the promising last 20 minutes is a roller coaster. While some drama impresses, the building tension is only impactful in parts. Chandini Chowdhury’s scenes, although well-performed, lead to a somewhat illogical conclusion, and the adventurous journey with Vishwak Sen lacks conviction.

In summary, the film’s highlights lie in its visual effects, background score, and performances, unveiling a never-explored concept in Tollywood. However, the screenplay’s patience and interest factor are crucial, determining the overall satisfaction of the viewing experience. If the screenplay doesn’t resonate, be prepared for a potentially disappointing ride.

The last 20 minutes of the film deserve commendation for the director’s skillful interlinking of stories, incorporating a devotional touch with Aghora and exploring the struggles of a man facing an unusual medical condition after a failed experiment.

Overall Verdict: While the screenplay could have been more engaging for this thriller, the film is worth a watch for the team’s efforts and the intriguing last 20 minutes.

Note:* It’s a personal opinion. It will not be based on it’s film run or the talk on the other side.
