AAMIS is a fascinating and unique film that is tender and poetic, but also disturbing. Not necessarily something for the faint-hearted. Go to Full Review Rohan Naahar Hindustan Times 10/04/2021
Deliberately designed to throw you off the scent, Aamis is a deeply romantic movie about food that gives Eat Drink Man Woman a different meaning altogether. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 07/11/2020
The last 15 minutes of Aamis deliver a knockout punch that will leave viewers feeling both nauseated and emotionally haunted over the choices made in the name of love. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

21 - Priyan B 04/17/2024 Disturbing and nauseating at the same time but unique. See more 07/12/2020 It is one of the most bizarre films that I have seen in my life. The most horrifying too.The most erotic too. The most exotic love story that I can come across of now. The most compelling narrative.The most terrifying characters.

Love the movie. People who likes to watch different genre movie can go for it. See more 05/30/2020 Aamis (aka Ravening) is a must watch... for all of us who have loved & lost , loved & found , loved & consumed , loved & desired & left it that way.... basically loved. if you have loved Bertolucci's 'Besieged' , Ang Lee's 'Eat Drink Man Woman' or Nagisa Oshima's 'In The Realm of the Senses'... then this is your film! Tender yet unsettling. A tale of Transgression, dissent & disruption. It is Beautiful, Dark, Macabre! Crafted with love and aided by some sharp screenplay writing! Hazarika's Nirmali - played with grace and an immersive ease by the gorgeous Lima Das - stuns you as it brings an amazing dignity to an edgy, and often questionable character. She mirrors the empathy in his Gaze. Aamis can be watched on moviesaints.com/aamis. See more 05/28/2020 Cinematography was excellent. Screenplay was inch to inch perfect. What a movie! New concept.
