We know the title will offend a large chunk of people, but that’s not our intention; continue reading to find out what we’re trying to emphasize. Vishwak Sen’s epic action adventure film Gaami created a huge buzz before release, primarily because of its theatrical trailer that promised a never-before experience. And as expected, the film opened with good numbers, with critics lavishing praise on the performances, story, direction, and technical aspects.

Considering this sort of critical reception, trade experts believed they saw an upward trend in collections from the first day. And, surprising enough, the opposite happened: the film’s footfalls have come down significantly, and on weekdays, it witnessed a big drop, followed by a complete crash.
