The film has a fantastic ensemble of Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swami, Aditi Rao Hydari, Siddharth Jadhav. This is a silent film that allows the haunting tunes of maverick AR Rahman to add depth to the narrative.
Directed by Kishore Pandurang Belekar, Gandhi Talks is further elevated by the evocative music and background score of A R Rahman, where music becomes the emotional voice of the narrative. His compositions breathe life into the silences, while the voices of accomplished singers add depth and resonance to the film’s unspoken moments.
In a bold and unconventional move, the makers released the trailer three days ahead of its musical culmination an A R Rahman concert marking a rare and thoughtful convergence of cinema and live music. This distinctive promotional approach mirrors the film’s own philosophy immersive, experiential, and driven by artistic intent.
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.”
