Vijay Sethupathi's silent social drama Gandhi Talks is now available for digital rental on the Prime Video Store. The film, directed by Kishor Panduranga Belekar, had its world premiere at the International Film Festival of India in Goa and was released in theaters on January 30, 2026.
Gandhi Talks tells a powerful story without spoken dialogue, exploring the impact of money on human behavior. The story revolves around a rich businessman whose life unravels due to corruption and personal issues, and two men who plan to break into his house to steal cash. The film features Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swami, and Aditi Rao Hydari in key roles.
The film's unique use of silence is notable, with Belekar relying on expressions, visuals, and background music to convey emotions. A.R. Rahman's music plays a crucial role in carrying the emotional weight of the film. The currency notes featuring Mahatma Gandhi's face represent both hope and corruption in the film.
Gandhi Talks has a runtime of two hours and 13 minutes and has been certified U/A 13+. The cinematography is done by Karan B. Rawat, while the editing is handled by Ashish Mhatre. Despite mixed reviews, the film is notable for its attempt to revive silent storytelling in contemporary cinema.
