Mumbai’s cinematic landscape just got a unique addition with the release of ‘Gandhi Talks’, a silent film that’s turning heads in Bollywood. Actress Aditi Rao Hydari, one of its stars, is buzzing with excitement as the movie hit theaters on Friday. She describes it as a groundbreaking project for the entire cast and crew, blending minimal dialogue with profound emotional depth.
In a heartfelt social media post accompanying the film’s poster, Aditi shared her thoughts. ‘Gandhi Talks is a silent film crafted collaboratively by the team,’ she wrote. ‘Dialogues are scarce, but the emotions run deep. Director Kishor Iyer poured over a decade into perfecting the story, visuals, and nuances.’
The film’s soundtrack, composed by the legendary A.R. Rahman, elevates the experience. Aditi praised how Rahman’s music transports viewers to a realm of love, goodness, and hope, conveying feelings without words. It’s a perfect fit for this visually driven narrative.
At its core, ‘Gandhi Talks’ envisions a world beyond differences, where humanity prevails amid silence. It prompts audiences to reflect, connect emotionally, and ponder societal values. The plot revolves around a young man grappling with financial struggles, whose life takes a twist with a thief’s entry, using satire to question the gap between Gandhi’s image on currency and his true ideals.
Joining Aditi are powerhouses like Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy, and Siddharth Jadhav, making this an ensemble worth watching. As theaters fill up, ‘Gandhi Talks’ promises not just entertainment, but a silent revolution in storytelling that lingers long after the credits roll.
