Reception

S.r. Praveen of The Hindu wrote: "Although Gandhi Talks veers off course at times, the film deserves credit for Belekar’s daring to make a silent film with mainstream stars in an era when the call is for louder-than-the-previous “pan-Indian” films". [8] Priyanka Sundar of Firstpost wrote: "After Petta, Vikram and most recently, Jawaan, this is not starring Vijay Sethupathi, the one note villain, but an actor who seems to have enjoyed adding another feather to his cap". [9] Chris of The News Minute stated: "The film has its flaws, but given the uniqueness of the form and the hugely difficult task of keeping a silent film entertaining, Gandhi Talks is a movie to be reckoned with". [10] Nandu Sekhar of Mathrubhumi wrote: "Gandhi Talks gives the audience an unforgettable theatre experience when Rahman's magical music is added. Gandhi Talks is a must watch film for every movie buff". [11]
