‘Gandhi Talks’ is the first silent movie to be screened at IFFI. It aims to recreate the nostalgia of the classic silent movies. The movie brings out the dichotomy between Gandhi on currency notes and Gandhi’s ideals that everyone wishes to imbibe.

Synopsis

A silent black comedy, about the monetary needs of a character and 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. Gandhi Talks aims at telling a story by switching off the device of dialogue, which is not only scary but also interesting and challenging.
