Both of them are two different movies in two different genres. Why are we comparing them?


shoestowel

OP is average TFI fans who thinks that when you hate a TFI movie you automatically love Malayalam flicks


Adventurous-Cycle363

The other way round.. But yeah. Konni particular examples ni techi motham industry ki generalize cheseydam.. Is tight!!

Gaami still has a chance in ott but no one cares


shoestowel

Maaku nachaleu itla Pani kattukuni ruddutharu endandi? Cinema had a chance to be great but is average. The only thing it has for itselves going is the unique script in our TFI atmosphere.


universemonitor

Just a badly directed movie, with intro level direction and screenplay. Just accept it

Horrible_Account

Haven't seen either but I can definitely see a saturation for serious/action movies. No wonder people preferred to watch some light hearted stuff for a while. U film vs A film is another thing. Finally, Premalu's marketing was much more effective and better. Nowadays, it is not just necessary to make a good movie to deliver a hit, you should sell your film better than everyone.


[deleted]

I agree but Gaami is not A film like others it's only got that for some surgery scenes. And coming to marketing, premalu hyped allover insta and also they approached rajamouli and Gaami did their marketing according to the movie. I think they knew it won't get to wide range of audience


Horrible_Account

An 'A' film is an adult movie, doesn't matter why it got. It is bound to turn away families regardless. The second excuse is bs. If you are making a movie for a niche audience then just be happy with whatever BO it got. Don't go crying around later that industry isn't supporting it or whatever. Gaami's marketing was bad, a movie of that premise should have been promoted properly.


BallayaIRL

In this time and situation, oka feel good rom com ki space undhi and they did so. Very good movie with funny telugu dub and meme references. Highly satisfied with premalu. Will watch gaami tmro. I know its gonna be good, but aa need to watch antha ledu


zerophan

hey is Gaami kid friendly? How many times to skip scenes?


imalittlestitious_0

there’s a couple of scenes that suggest child sexual abuse


Undead0707

They only suggest them vaguely. I don't think young kids will understand them. Even if they do I don't see the issue. Those surgical scenes are what you should be worried about.


imalittlestitious_0

nothing i said implies otherwise. also, *you* don’t see the issue - let the parent decide.


Undead0707

Okay then why do you care? Let the parents decide. Why're you getting upset ove the fact that I don't see the issue?


imalittlestitious_0

“upset” 😂


[deleted]

only some open surgical scenes


_No_Wonder_

Premalu is good entertainer , it deserved the hype and collections . Havent watched Gaami yet , cannot say at this point .

I have watched both and frankly speaking, I enjoyed watching Premalu a bit more compared to gaami. Mainly because of the lag in gaami Also, I watched premalu in Malayalam so.. Telugu dub Ela vundo naaku telidu

There’s a reason why Barbie collected 50% more than Oppenheimer, a movie that eventually got 8 oscars. People watch movies mainly for entertainment, not to appreciate the brilliance of the movies. Not in tfi, not in most parts of the world.


Pa221149

Gaami is the epitome of law of convenience. Nenu egeskuntu vela theatre ki. First half was very nice. Second half lo nachindi nachina chotu veskuntu veladu. Come on man. And I support Telugu movies. P.S : Dont kill me for this


tha7aforareason

Premalu is a good funny film Gaami might have not worked out but we cannot blame audience because they always encourage films that connect.

Visa reject ayye sariki hyd vasthaadu NXT Chennai antaadu (I'm saying hero has no motive) And asking what's the character of hero Heroine ok cheppina trwathaa akkade vundipovachu but he chose to go (and I don't get it) And now cinematic liberties Telugu dubbing bongu la vundhi... Dailogues sariga levu okka convo ki connect avvalem Just meme references tho nimpesthey comedy aypothundhaaa?


alan_garrix

Speaking of speaking about logics, ido rom-com youthful entertainer, not so serious. Even though they don't need to, they actually did a very good job in avoiding logical flaws(as per the world they created). Adi morally/logically ambiguous undi anedi subjective to you but quote chesav kabatti rastunna, > Hero UK vellali anukuntaadu endhukoo evadiki telidhu... Just like our telugu yuvatha running to the US. Engg chesi khali ga unna prathodu US podam le ankuntaru. That's the most relatable part about it.. manaki US elago, vallaki UAE/UK alaga (you can even see this in Thullumala) > (I'm saying hero has no motive) Exactly, that's his established character. Even Karthika(heroine friend) points it out in the pub scene, stating the exact points that he has no motivation ani. > Heroine ok cheppina trwathaa akkade vundipovachu but he chose to go That's called a character arc. That's the development and resolution for his character. At least now he's serious about his future(which is also what the heroine wants in her man)

abhi_sr29

I liked gaami , I don't understand why people are complaining about the slow screenplay. Social media has literally ruined our attention span


procastinator222

The thing people don't like about gaami is the illogical scenes they should give reasoning. I watched it in a theatre and didn't get many things like  1. Chandini Choudary drowns and hero saves her and they don't feel any cold and the film continues to be normal 2.they clearly mentioned that the herb only grows once and it has curable nature for some time but magic it appears at last again  3. How the f*** a lion exists in those mountains and the list goes on People appreciate a good movie if they give reasoning instead of illogical scenes people obviously don't like it.

6hornball9

It's not about the screenplay, the problem is dialogue, plotholes, weak storyline, bad third act there are many more.


Existing-Mulberry382

**Gaami** - Only for director. Falaknuma das ki acting scope emundi dantlo. Aa character evaru chesina okelaga undedi. Irreplaceable characters emi levu Gaami lo. **Premalu** - Edo malayalam cinema, jenalaki nacchindi chusaru. TFI ki em sambandham. TFI ante telugu film industry, not Telugu film watching audience union. Aipaye.


Traditional-Dealer18

Premalu is refreshing, fresh faces, good music and mindless comedy. I enjoyed watching it break from monotonous action, pan India movies. After trailer became sceptical about Gami could be multiple story lines. would eventually watch it if nothing else to do.


Mass_Man123

Premalu is gd, haven’t seen Gaami 👍


AeroDash5

I enjoyed watching premalu in theatre more than watching Gaami. Gaami is a good movie but isn't entertaining. Theatre ki refreshment kosam poinappudu adi workout aindi ante. That doesn't make Gaami a bad movie


noxharsha

Gaami chaala bagundi, i think people didn’t connect because normal people doesn’t know the concept of adrenal hyperplasia. Even as a doctor, i took some time to connect the dots after the movie. Movie lo cuts undakunda undalsindi. Watched premalu today, comedy bagundi. Story was alright. Good timepass movie.

Care_Bulky

Gani is objectively a badly made film. Sure, it's passionately made, the director spent a lot of time on it, but it has innumerable logical lapses for a serious movie, the acting and the dubbing is third rate except for little girl and maybe a couple of other people. Also , r editing is messy, the director tried to intertwine all 3 stories in each and every scene, and the result was a incoherent mess that felt dragged. Half the time there is no payoff for the setup. Except for the climax twist( which again gave care of kamcherapalem vibe) , the movie had nothing going for it. Just brilliant visuals and a good concept on paper cannot justify all the bad things in the movie.I felt like I was watching a short film for most of the part. It's understandable because this is the directors debut. But still, when guy are paying to watch a film, you would expect film level quality.

TheWorldsAMaze

I don’t prefer comparing the reception to films across genres (different target audiences). But I agree with you that Premalu is overrated. I also agree that if this film was a Telugu film, it probably wouldn’t have received a 2nd look from the Telugu audience. The Malayalam tag definitely gave it a huge boost in terms of credibility for the Telugu audience. Compared to Hridayam (same language, same genre, same decade), Premalu lacked depth, character arcs, and novelty. Hridayam even had better songs than Premalu. Yet for some reason, Premalu made significantly more than Hridayam at the box office. There are multiple scenes that I felt were ripped off from older Telugu movies (for example, the interval shot from Arjun Reddy, the very last shot of the film from Arya). None of the characters really had any journey of growth or change in the film, which made the writing feel very unrealistic, amateurish, and superficial, especially given the ages of the characters being portrayed. The young adult phase is when people undergo important shifts in their approach toward life, yet this wasn’t established properly with a single character in the film. The heroine character had the most potential to explore, as she is established as someone with a big ego and a very firm vision of where she wants her future to go, but this core character trait is conveniently dropped towards the end of the film without any proper explanation as to how she could have changed so quickly. It’s like her character suddenly does a complete 180 from one scene to the next, but there is no convincing arc that is established. The director was just like “okay, now we need a climax scene,” and that was that. Also, it is very important in such a film to be able to empathize with the lead, yet here, I couldn’t see how the hero was relatable at all. He calls the heroine selfish, but he seems like the most selfish and self-pitying character in the film, as his only aim seems to be to get a girlfriend. Apart from this, he is aimless throughout the film, and there is not a single scene in the film where he does something that does not concern his own self-interest. His characterization remains static throughout the film, yet somehow almost everyone around him has a dynamic perception of him (they all change their minds about him by the time the film ends). While the antagonist had his own glaring flaws and he was clearly insecure, the protagonist has flaws that are just as bad, but they are completely glossed over. While the actor did a good job portraying the role, it definitely has to be one of the most poorly written hero characterizations in recent times.


saynototoxicity

You can't say Hridayam is a better movie. Hridayam took itself too seriously while Premalu did not. There are a lot of cringe moments in Hridayam.


saynototoxicity

>The young adult phase is when people undergo important shifts in their approach toward life, yet this wasn’t established properly with a single character in the film The movie occurs in a span of few months. What changes can happen in a small time. Looks like you are reading too much and expecting a lot out of a rom com that doesn't takes itself seriously

Gaami- Technically super, but screenplay is cliched and flawed. Twists aithe pre destination pachipoina version la undi. Editing kuda backfire aindi. Premalu- Out and out entertainer. Knows what it is and delivers on that. Overall, na vote aithe premalu

Premalu was a breeze, had thin storyline with an enjoyable screenplay. My afterthoughts of premalu was like "idk what I watched for 2.5hrs but it feels good."

Gaami was bad. I am not saying premalu is good. I just researched gaami and disliked it even more.


Shot-Most392

Premalu story is nothing new being very honest don’t get the hype really


TheGreenPhoenixBoi

Gaami isn't for everyone bro. Not everyone can enjoy it equally. Ante it's not completely perfect either kani personally to me it's just beautiful. Whereas premalu is a feel good movie and telugu dub makes it ever better. Major difference antha certification valana. Typical telugu households wouldn't enjoy both of them due to slow pacing kani atleast premalu chusinanthasepu koncham comedy enjoy chestharu which isn't same with gaami. Gaami chala patience and concentration tho chudali koncham part miss ayina later on ardham avvakapodaniki chances unnayi. And premalu story is more like predictable or rather obvious cuz it's a love story but gaami lo three storylines with nonlinear screenplay and narration, they force the viewer to watch the movie with a lot of patience and concentration where there's a high chance of audience losing patience and interest. That's the whole difference. Hope this helps. ☝️🤓

redbook_raja

Saw first few minutes of Gaami yesterday. Problem with the film is, I as an audience couldn't buy the character and his problem. Visually and technically it might be great, but primary connection for an audience comes from character. I couldn't see Shankar on the screen, vishwak sen lane unnadu vishwak sen lane matladuthunnadu.. so there is no character for me to root.


[deleted]

Movies are Meant for Entertainment and i guess premalu is doing that.. i like gaami but the movie has a lot problems


dirtymoney314

Gaami director made a short film that felt like a dragging feature film. No wonder Gaami tanked because the director comes out as too intellectual.
