One Trailer, 2 Victims Prabhas, Vijay D

The trailer for Vishwak Sen’s Gaami dropped the other day and it was largely appreciated for its technical finesse. The initial response for the trailer on social media is that the film packs a very impressive visual presentation despite being made on a relatively constrained budget.

This trailer has now brought two stars under the pump and they are Prabhas and Vijay Deverakonda, and here is the reason why.

Firstly, netizens are pointing out that Vishwak, with the director of Gaami delivered such an impressive VFX integration(in the trailer) on a limited budget and resources while Prabhas’s Adipurush which had virtually endless resources delivered one of the worst visual experiences. The quality of a limited budget film like Gaami being superior to Adipurush in terms of VFX and visual appeal is pointing fingers at Prabhas and calling him out for better care and vigilance on his projects.

Then coming to Vijay Deverakonda, a few are commenting that Vijay has fully moved on into the commercial space and not trying out new age films like how his contemporaries like Vishwak are doing with Gaami. A netizen commented “You(Vijay) are saying Iron eh vanchaala enti while your contemporaries are trying new avenues of cinema making.”

But in Vijay’s defense, his films come with a bigger stake and consequently, the commercial appeal can’t be missed so there is little to no chance for hims to do true blue experimental films. But there is the demand for him to try out something new apart from these regular commercial films.

The end point is that Gaami’s trailer has brought Prabhas and Vijay D under the pump. If the film can deliver a winning experience in theaters, this narrative could get carried further.
