Film Review: Gaami ( The Seeker) ... Telugu film streaming on Zee5!!
Gami is a different film with three stories running in parallel
What do these three stories have in common?
I would recommend this film only to people who like things "zara hatke" which is exactly what Gaami is all about. A non linear narrative, disjointed stories running in parallel along seemingly confusing storyline. If u r game for this kind of experimental stuff, then Gaami is the film for you.
Vishwak Sen gives a restrained performance, playing a person who suppresses his frustration & angst at not being able to find a cure for his debilitating condition. Others members of the cast too deliver their parts well. VFX, BGM & cinematography are good overall.
On the flip side .. the non linear narrative makes you wonder where exactly the film is heading & causing a bit frustration to creep in . The story too slows down intermittently which again doesn't work in its favour.
The end reveal, however is worth the wait & the film winds up well even though things could have been tightened up a bit !! Not bad either!!
A different kind of a film .. not for everyone!!
I'll go with 3/5 for this one .. Adios 🙂!!

- a young boy who is turned into a lab rat and subjected to inhuman experiments in a remote medical facility.
- Uma , the young daughter of a Devdaasi Durga runs the risk of being made the Devadasi when her mother is diagnosed with a terminal illness.
