What the critics say
Critics praise this silent drama's bold format, Sethupathi and Swami's performances and Rahman's score, though many feel the screenplay sags into sentimental melodrama and uneven pacing by the second half.

Summary
Gandhi Talks (2026, Tamil) has a Filmi Score of 55 from 8 critic reviews, is rated 13+ by Filmi (CBFC: U/A 13+), and streams on Prime Video in India.
A silent black comedy, about the monetary needs of a character & how it impacts the others. A young, unemployed graduate Mahadev’s struggle to land a job through any means possible and crosses paths with a businessman and petty thief. A subject wherein silence speaks much louder than words. Although a work of fiction by the writer, all the characters in the film are sketched out to seem very real and relatable ensuring an enriching journey as well a laugh riot as the cat and mouse guffaws amongst them unfold. Gandhi Talks aims at telling a story by switching off the device of dialogue, which is not only scary but also interesting and challenging.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 8 readings; 5 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
