Gandhi Talks X Review: Gandhi Talks, the dialogue-free feature directed by Kishor Pandurang Belekar, arrived in theatres worldwide on January 30. Backed by Zee Studios along with Kyoorius and Moviemill Entertainment, the film features an ensemble cast led by Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Siddharth Jadhav, with music composed by A. R. Rahman. The release comes more than two years after the film premiered at the International Film Festival of India in 2023.
Ahead of its theatrical release, preview shows of Gandhi Talks were held on January 29. Following the film’s release, audiences who attended the early shows started posting their impressions on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). Although these reactions are not formal reviews, they provide an early indication of how initial viewers are engaging with the film’s themes, performances, and narrative. More detailed reviews and critical assessments are expected to emerge in the coming hours and days as the film reaches a wider audience. Here are a few early responses shared online by audiences who attended the film’s initial screenings.
The absence of spoken dialogue is one of the film’s defining creative choices and has been a key point of discussion in early online conversations. Audience posts circulating on X largely reflect individual viewing experiences, focusing on the film’s visual storytelling, performances, and overall mood. At this stage, these reactions serve as early indicators rather than definitive assessments of the film’s reception.
Gandhi Talks: Cast and Crew
The cast brings together performers from different cinematic backgrounds, with Vijay Sethupathi and Arvind Swamy playing central roles, supported by Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth Jadhav. The technical crew includes cinematographer Karan B. Rawat, editor Ashish Mhatre, and sound designer Justin Jose. Music supervision was handled by Shubham Bhat, with post-production work completed at Prime Focus Ltd., where Ashirwad Hadkar served as the DI colorist.
As January 30 marks the film’s first full day in theatres, audience responses are still taking shape. Many viewers are only beginning to experience the film, and social media discussions are expected to grow over the weekend. For now, Gandhi Talks has entered the theatrical space with steady online conversation, as early viewers share initial impressions and the broader response continues to unfold in the days ahead.
