Vishwak Sen, known for his controversial statements, often builds excessive hype around his films despite their average performance. This trend persists with his forthcoming movie, Gaami, where he once again engages in unnecessary hype by making lofty comments about the film. Despite previous experiences, Vishwak Sen seems to repeat the mistake of overplaying the expectations, raising concerns about whether the film can live up to the heightened anticipation he is attempting to create.
His upcoming release, Gaami, remained relatively unknown until a month ago, but the trailer sparked sudden expectations. The movie, years in the making, features Vishwak Sen in a challenging role as Aghora, a character with different shades.
What’s interesting is Viswak Sen claims Gaami is on par with Christopher Nolan’s work, highlighting a visual spectacle that will leave the audience with a great feeling. However, comparing oneself to Nolan is a risky move. While Nolan’s style resonates with many, Gaami’s complex nature might not have the universal appeal of blockbuster hits like Avatar or Titanic.
The film faces tough competition, with Gopichand Bhimaa and the Telugu promotion of the Malayalam blockbuster Premalu. Gaami, labeled as a devotional thriller, needs support from all audience segments to be a unanimous blockbuster like RRR.
The trailer is promising, but Vishwak Sen’s attitude and controversial statements might create a negative impact. To enhance the film’s chances, it’s advisable for the actor to tone down the controversy and over-hyped words. Success lies in positive word-of-mouth, especially in a competitive landscape where delays in positive talk can affect audience turnout. Gaami needs to navigate through these challenges to secure a successful run at the box office.
