More about Mahaan
Mahaan, starring Chiyaan Vikram and Dhruv Vikram in the lead roles, was released on February 10, 2022, directly on the OTT platform Prime Video. The movie follows the story of Gandhi Mahaan, a commerce teacher who leads a quiet, middle-class life with his Gandhian wife, Nachi, and their son, Dada.
One day, when Nachi and their son head out on a school tour, Gandhi decides to spend his day indulging in every vice that would otherwise be shunned by his wife. However, the day takes a dramatic turn when his wife abandons him.
With no more restraints, Gandhi Mahaan partners with a local liquor baron and becomes the king of the market. However, his life takes a wild turn when Dada returns years later as a police officer and an extremist Gandhian, determined to take revenge against his father.
