Must Watch for Every Sri Lankan
thisallakpura24 January 2023
Its a Great Sinhala Comedy Movie with Amazing Dubbing and also Great Music , 3d Animations was very good for the First attempt , Must say the Dubbing Cast and the Direction is Top Notch, its not a Surprise that the best Artists in SL were Involve this .

Please try to Watch it from a 3d Theater Because only from that you can get the Complete Experience , Don't think Twice Every Sri Lankan Must Watch this for Sinhala Cinema hope the Future Gen Will be Motivated to do more animation movies with Good Stories the Stage is set now. Hats off to the whole crew that involve in this Big Project Cheers !

Enjoyable, great attempt by SL movie industry but overrated
sajanapeshitha18 February 2023
Movie is enjoyable and recommend to watch with friends or family. The most fascinating thing was attention to detail of the surroundings. It was great to see Sri Lankan landscapes recreated in a 3D movie and production crew has done it greatly. There were many good 3D elements, but not the best 3D experience.

Dubbing of main characters is well done. But some side character's voice were not authentic. Sound design and musics were really good.

Had many good jokes throughout the movie but some were childish and I noticed some repeated jokes. Plot was somewhat ok, but I think they could have done better.

Finally I have to say 10/10 ratings are overrated and in my pov by doing so they are not helping the SL movie industry. There are many things to improve and I'm sure they will do good in next movie.

Great cinema experience
djsammaxx5 February 2023
This is first 3D film on srilankan cinema history . Really didnt expected this movie. Graphics quality was awesome and story line was very funny . And characters are very smooth. Its become a era on sri lankan film industry.im hope next film was become more than good film.

Camillus Perera's 'Gajaman' newspaper strip was an extremely popular and effective cartoon in the 1970's. Along with other famous characters created by the renowned writer Studio 101 in Sri Lanka, brings to you the first 3D animated movie in the near future. Im really happy to watch that film. You can get better movie experience watch this film on 3D cinema.

Awesome animation work done to create the unique sri lankan landscapes and characters, the comedy was exquisite, unique and out of this world
manjulabsamarakoon20 January 2023
GAJAMAN the first ever 3D animated movie in Sri Lanka directed by the most talented Chanaka Perera, starring the very best!

Congratulations to you all!

So glad to be one of the very few who had the chance to witness the movie before the official release... wow it was some great comedy. Awesome animation work done to create the unique sri lankan landscapes and characters, the comedy was exquisite, unique and out of this world. There was never a dull moment throughout.

I think this has the potential to go so far and break few lankan movie selling records as well. And, pave the way for many future sri lankan artists to break the boundaries and be more creative to do better things, rather than doing the same old style movies and repeat the same jokes over and over again or just simply making an indian carbon copy.

And mark my words,, when that happens "Chanaka Perera" is going to be a name to remember.. cheers brother!!! Its your time to shine.. Re5pect.

First 3D Animation Movie From Sri Lanka & It Is A MASTERPIECE!
N33TH_KP20 January 2023
First of all CONGRATULATIONS & THANK YOU for the CAST & CREW behind the GAJAMAN 3D. You guys are just AMAZING!!!

I'm not a movie guy, that goes to movie theater and watch movies. I always preferred to wait till the Web or Blu-ray release. But for the first time in my life, I had to make an exception for this movie "GAJAMAN 3D". And it was well spent 100 Minutes of my life.

This is the first time we are experiencing a SRI LANKAN made 3D Animated movie that created using motion capture. It is a simple yet wholesome and well executed beautiful 3D animation movie fully packed with humor and comedy. 90% of the lines in this script can make you smile and more than 50% will definitely make you burst out laughing. Highly recommend and must watch movie for any Sri Lankan in my opinion.

And I should mention the plot twist in the last scene. It is definitely a romance movie 🙃😂

Lastly, I went to the theater by myself without any friends or family, Don't do the same mistake that I did. At least bring someone else with you because I can guarantee, GAJAMAN 3D is more enjoyable with friends and family.

This is the 1 st srilankan 3d animation movie Using Motion Capture Technology. This movie directed By Most Telented Chanaka Perera. I Love This Movie.

Congratulations to All ( Gaminda, Suneth, Wasthi Productions, And All )

This is one of the most beautiful movies with jokes. I was waiting for a long time to see the movie. I think this will be a great opportunity to do more beautiful work. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to the Gajaman movie. This is a masterpiece made by Sri Lankans.

3D characters, Landscapes, Animations, rigging everything is great. In the end, I have to say that this is a great design that should go all over the world.

My Film Experience
ravisaradharmapala1 February 2023
I watched this movie twice. This is gonna be a big s step from sri lankan film industry. This movie is fantastic. I really enjoyed with it. Thanks to be gajaman movie crew member. This movie is gonna be a crazy..While watching this film, I could not imagine that this is a Sri Lankan film. This film proves that Sri Lanka has not taken a step but a giant step away from traditional film making.

My thanks to you for bringing Camillus Gajaman comic, which was limited to newspaper cartoons, into a comedy 3D film.

😍😍 I say all the sri lankans are definitely watch this gajaman movie.

..... Ruchira Ravisara....

Sinhala comedy at it's best with the essence of village beautifully captured in the very first 3D animated movie of Sri Lanka!! I would watch Gajaman again!
andreajesudason23 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I'm not a huge fan of sinhala movies per se, but after checking out the Gajaman trailer, I wanted to give it a try. And I was not disappointed! In fact the opposite happened; I was AMAZED to my core!!

From the minute the movie started right until the start of the end credits, all I could hear in theatre was laughter! The movie managed to keep the audience thoroughly entertained throughout! I think for me, the most amount of endorphins were released during this 1 hour and 40 minutes.

The plot is simple but the comedic sense is at its very best for Sri Lankan comedy! The graphics and animation looked pretty good for a first attempt and very colourful! Loved how all recent political conversations were included throughout the movie.

SPOILER ALERT! The final scene in the train was hilarious!! What a plot twist. Simple yet funny!🤣🤣

The script, the cast, the music - hands down 10/10!

Definitely worth a watch because this movie delivers!!

Enjoy!

One of the Most Excellent Animation Movies
kaveeshainduwaralk31 January 2023
This is a wonderful animation film that definitely surprised me! Expecting it to be another average animation film, I was delighted to find it was not quite so. First of all, the animation is extremely well done which makes the movie enjoyable to watch. The amount of details is astonishing and watching it twice was not a punishment for me. The plot is also surprisingly well thought-of, being funny yet dramatic and it keeps you on your seat while also making you laugh multiple times. It really does feel like everything took years to develop as the environment is complex and believable and the characters resemble their real-life counterparts remarkably well. It's amazing how they could produce a movie with simple jokes suitable for kids yet still silently addressing real-life issues at the same time. At last, I definitely recommend this movie for the whole family as I deem it enjoyable for all ages.

nothing special
kusalmaduranga6 March 2023
First of all this is the first Sri Lankan animation film so certainly this movie have some symbolic value but unfortunately this movie don't contain and unique qualities or animation for 10/10 rating, this is a made in SriLanka movie so it should contain some srilankan attributes . Yes the environment looks authentic.

But if we consider story that is a perfect replica of tamil movie, corrupt politician , spoiled girl , poor boy . It looks like tamil to me .

As a result that main story didn't have proper attention , it is incomplete , at least it looks like incomplete

it has impressive quality animation. And some good songs , that should mention.

Awesome experience
sanjaya-2160631 January 2023
This film is visually stunning. It simply has to be seen on the best on sri lankan cinema.biggest win of startin first 3d. That's the best way to enjoy this film just let it consume you. The story is one that most people can get behind and it's enhanced by the visual storytelling on screen. I haven't looked at the film in detail because so much happened and it was so visually engulfing. I'm not saying the story is perfect but the 1 hour+ runtime helped flesh out all of the characters and give the story depth and weight that you only really get with TV series theses days.thank to everyone in behind of this awesome work.

Overrated,Below Average and Predictable Humdrum Drama
Morgoth_Melkor18 February 2023
Just beacause it's the first one doesn't mean it's the best. Over excited easily pleased toxic fanbase has put this boring mobie to top ratings. The effort should be appreciated but it's not early 90s anymore. World cinema,animation movies have evolved so much but they could have just come up with a better story. They have sold this garbage through a false hype. The jokes are almost decade old and laughter is overdue. IF they make another sequel for this they better come up with better story and charcter development. Overall movie is watchable(barely) but this hype is misleading cashgrab. Sri Lankan people should learn to recognize what's good and what's bad in cinema.

News flash : A movie with a cringeworthy story was overrated by locals just because of it is the first 3D animated movie of a south asian country
Yo, guys, let me tell you about this Sri Lankan 3D animated movie called Gajaman. Now, I'm not gonna lie, the first half of the movie was pretty decent. But then, oh boy, the final 10 minutes were a total mess.

The jokes were super cringey and the storyline was so predictable and lame. Like, seriously, they put in a lot of hard work into the animation, but the story and direction were just so weak.

I mean, I get it, it's a kids' movie, but that doesn't mean it has to be so basic and uninspired. I was really hoping for something better, but unfortunately, Gajaman just didn't deliver.

Overall, if you're looking for a fun and engaging animated movie, I'd say give Gajaman a miss. There are definitely better options out there.

Alright, let me dive a bit deeper into my thoughts on Gajaman.

As I mentioned earlier, the animation in the movie was actually pretty good. The characters were well-designed and the colors were bright and eye-catching. However, that's about where the positives end.

The storyline felt like it was ripped straight from a generic kids' movie plot generator. There was nothing new or exciting about it, and the way it unfolded was just so predictable. It's like the writers didn't even try to come up with something original or engaging.

And don't even get me started on the jokes. They were so cringey and forced that I found myself rolling my eyes more often than laughing. It's like the writers were trying too hard to be funny, instead of just letting the humor come naturally from the characters and situations.

Finally, the direction of the movie was just all over the place. It felt like the filmmakers weren't quite sure what kind of tone they were going for, and so the movie ended up being a mishmash of different styles and genres. This made the final 10 minutes of the movie feel like a slippery slope, as everything just devolved into a confusing mess.

All in all, I would say that Gajaman is a well-meaning but ultimately forgettable movie. While the animation is certainly impressive, it's let down by a lackluster storyline, cringe jokes ripped off from viral videos on politicians and priests, and direction that feels unfocused. If you're looking for a better animated movie to watch, I'd recommend checking out some of recent #D animated movies with a good story line and better characters, like Puss In Boots : The last wish , instead.

First Ever Motion Capture 3D Movies Created In Srilanka
akashdm-735591 February 2023
Gajaman, sometimes referred to as Camillus's Gajaman 3D, is a Sri Lankan Sinhala 3D animation comedy film directed by Chanaka Perera and co-produced by John Fonseka and Chamika Jinadasa for Studio 101. The film makes the hallmark in Sri Lankan cinema industry by becoming the first ever three dimensional (3D) animation movie in Sri Lanka using motion capture technology. The two lead characters of the film was dubbed by popular dubbing artist duet, Suneth Chitrananda and Gaminda Priyaviraj.

The best movie made in Srilanka so far.

Best ever music creations by Wasthi.

Best animation creations.

A movie that the entire family can watch with the same fun, and entertainment filled feelings from start to end.

The cast involved in this movie has done a tremendous job which you can definitely see as the output of the movie.

Wow what a movie
dulshanw16 February 2023
Wow what a movie, absolutely a great movie. I think I saw the trailer of this movie back 2012 or 2013 and I always wanted to watch this since then. This movies is the best Sinhala comedy movie made after 1970s without a doubt. This movie proved that there are hell a lot of movie fans in Sri Lanka for Sinhala movies, but bringing them to cinemas is totally depends on the ability of the movie makers to understand what fans want until now it's not been done properly. I think this is the start of a new era in the Srilankan cinema. Wasthi music spiced up this movie in a fantastic way. I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this movie.

Pure Laugh and Enjoyment with a Simple, yet Cool Story
akalankadewmith11 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A 100% comedy driven first 3D Sinhala movie. Simply it nailed as the first creation from the studio. 3D scenes were well executed by the team. Visual Quality of the animated characters, environment and the Physics is competing with state-of-art. No doubt of that. Music Director has given the music what exactly what this film needs. Overall a Perfect 3D movie that everyone can enjoy. Thank You 101 studios.

Spoiler Alert

Almost felt the cringe Bollywood/Kollywood vibe at the end of the movie, but they have neutralised it by using this dialogue couple of times "Hey..I watched (dejavu) this scene from the hindi picture". And made whole plot a joke. It's exactly what I expected. And needed. Comedy is what this movie stands for.

Most reviews are baised
gatlakmal10 February 2023
Well, If this was the 1st ever movie I watched in my life, I'll give it a 10 star rating, but they could've done this far better than this.

In some scenarios the same movie scene repeats over and over,it can be clearly identified & it greatly reduces the overall quality of the movie.

This is the 1st ever movie produced in Sri lanka by using motion capture technology.

Animation
praveenkanth18 January 2024
Was blown away by the CGI work. The characters were realistic & the story was engaging. The soundtrack perfectly complemented the film. A highly recommended and memorable movie experience. I really enjoyed the movie. Really funny. Hats off to all who worked really hard to make this possible.

Gajaman is a must-see movie for anyone who appreciates animation and storytelling. The Sri Lankan film industry has truly outdone themselves with this production, as it is the country's first 3D animated feature. The movie is visually stunning, with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring the characters and world to life. Overall, Gajaman is a brilliant movie that is sure to delight audiences of all ages. I highly recommend it!

Best animation movie
vethumnimthakaofficial31 December 2023
100% Recommended. Music,Dubbing,Animation Perfect. A memorable movie watched after many years. Even though it is the first 3D animation film in Sri Lanka, the way the film has been presented to the audience in a very sophisticated and skillful way is excellent. The music of the film can be mentioned as one of the main interesting things. The way the characters have been used as well as the dubbing has been done in such a way that no flaw can be seen. It can be described as a film made with the contribution of a large number of people as well as with great effort. Another special thing is Mr. Sunil Perera coming to mind.

What an amazing movie.. Absolutely Amazing
huskyatavex12 February 2023
Gajaman is the first ever Sri Lankan 3D animation movie made with motion-capture technology. The production team may have gone to great lengths to make it stand out, and it appears that they were successful. Nice dubbing by famous and experienced artists makes the movie much better.

Congratulations to the team, and it's great to see something from Sri Lanka. Everyone should watch this movie in a movie theater with 3D technology. It's very funny, and sometimes it is heartwarming. I hope with this motivation, the future Sri Lankan film industry will turn into a new way that we can say something like "Wow!" and as I mentioned, this is a huge turning point. Cheers to the crew!
