What is the story about?
Gandhi Talks moniker has more connotations than one. It could be the father of the nation still imparting his teachings to people who wear righteousness as second skin, or the notes that gratify the appetite of a population driven by greed and power. What could be the possibilities when the two contrasting worlds unite or even collide?
Arvind Swami, Vijay Sethupathi, Aditi Rao Hydari are coming together preicely to show us that in the form of their new film Gandhi Talks. The film that had its premiere at IFFI Goa in 2023 looks intense and intriguing going by the teaser:
In its review, Firstpost said back in 2023, "The scenes where three people play hide and seek to music composed by AR Rahman is where Gandhi Talks peaked for me. The conclusion is where I lost the plot because the film moves from a silent dark comedy to a sentimental melodrama. I understand wanting to hit crescendo, but the shift did not sit well in this scenario. I was particularly not fond of the last meeting between Vijay Sethupathi and Arvind Swami’s characters. All I could think was that this film started off as a brilliant piece of commentary but did not take it to the very end."
It added, " So somewhere towards the end, it flounders and becomes a reflection of society at large today. Not that there is anything wrong with this take, but it’s just that I was disappointed. Also, after Petta, Vikram and most recently, Jawaan, this is not starring Vijay Sethupathi, the one note villain, but an actor who seems to have enjoyed adding another feather to his cap."
