Gandhi Talks follows the story of Mohan Boseman, a once-successful businessman whose life unravels after the loss of his family and a series of severe financial setbacks. Struggling with grief and mounting pressure, he reaches a breaking point and contemplates taking a drastic step to escape his circumstances.
Parallel to his story is Mahadev, an unemployed young man desperately trying to secure stable work. Repeated failures push him toward morally uncertain choices as he searches for a way to improve his situation. A local pickpocket also becomes entangled in their lives, adding another layer to the chain of events that unfolds.
When Mahadev and the thief unexpectedly disrupt Boseman’s plans, the three men find themselves drawn into a chaotic mix of survival, chance, and unintended consequences.
