Good intention won't constitute a great movie

Visually striking, but narratively bland.

Visually Awesome, Sonically Stunning, Narratively Compelling but inconsistent Continuity

An interesting concept with some grt performances!!

Gaami

Be warned, Gaami is ambitious, unconventional and world class stuff from Telugu Cinema!

&quot;Gaami&quot; breaks free from Telugu cinema cliches, offering a profound and humane journey of self-discovery. Unlike most mainstream films that rely on sensationalism, director Vidhyadhar Kagita crafts a beautiful and artistic experience. So it&apos;s simple, if you&apos;re craving a racy plot, a formulaic hero worshipping, high moments, or some message at the end, &quot;Gaami&quot; isn&apos;t your movie. This debut film is a cinematic novel, exploring the relentless struggle (Sisyphean persistence) and emotional extremes of its main characters at the expense of flawed writing which isn&apos;t a big letdown. Every element, from editing, VFX, Art direction to Sound design manages to hold the film&apos;s atmosphere. Even the interval sequence challenges expectations. Unlike typical Telugu films that rely on a big bang or goosebumps, Gaami offers something different but not ordinary with just one day left to find the rare Mali Patra flower, the only solution as it breaks for interval. Many viewers remained glued to their seats, maybe they were expecting a goosepimple moment or intermission text. Of course, there&apos;s nothing wrong with crowd-pleasing interval bang and high moments, but Gaami proves we don&apos;t need the same formula every time. It&apos;s a shame that majority of audiences are accustomed to the fast pace of short videos, expect every movie to be like a 30-second Instagram or TikTok clip.

Even the finale perfectly exemplifies the films theme and pacing, Shankar&apos;s (Vishwak Sen) journey comes full circle in a satisfying way, without unnecessary exaggeration or resorting to theatrics. The ending is quiet, with a moment of silence and no music, followed by a bittersweet score as Shankar discovers the human touch, cure, healing, and redemption.

And now Gaami isn&apos;t flawless, the screenplay, while managing to be intriguing, could have benefited from tighter focus on parallel storylines compared to the impressive visuals. Editing choices feel jarring at times to cover up the budget, and some scenes might feel repetitive. The gore, though present, might not satisfy fans of horror and gorehound genre like me considering the film&apos;s A certification. But i feel the mainstream viewer might find even the existing gore unsettling. The attempt at a non-linear, anthology style narrative might feel like it overreaches and tests the audience&apos;s patience.

However, I have to admit some bias and give brownie points. The sheer effort and passion poured into this project, culminating in its release, deserves some credit. The film will likely draw comparisons to world movies, but showcasing its influences the film manages to stay true and rooted. It&apos;s important to note that Gaami leaves some questions unanswered, which might frustrate some viewers seeking complete melodramatic closure. While the film isn&apos;t flawless, its technical achievements and artistic merit are so strong that many of its shortcomings can be forgiven.

In summary, This DIY project later backed by UV creation is truly special for Telugu cinema. The film&apos;s unhurried pace, akin to a slow burn, might test majority of Telugu cine-goers and mass audience patience. It might not be for everyone but for those who appreciate artistic endeavors and support such daring attempt, this is a must-watch. Gaami is the kind of movie that passionate cinephiles must support and spread the word!
