Gandhi Talks has a lot more going for itself than its mute mode. The two main protagonists, played by Vijay Sethupathi and Arvind Swamy, are both down on their luck, one by birth, the other by inheritance. The first time Sethupathi and Arvind Swamy come face to face is a moment of profound celebration, and not only for the two capable actors. When a boy mischievously throws food at ‘Bhagwan Krishna’, a guest, Arvind Swamy comes forward to gently wipe his face. At a time when everyone in the cinema is shooting personal and political guns, Gandhi Talks gets contagiously Gandhian on us without resorting to mush or melodrama.
