Plot; Gandhi Mahaan (Vikram), a character who bears the name of the Father of the Nation and is ordered to abide by his teachings, is set free when he chooses a different course. His family deserts him, and he establishes his kingdom on numerous corpses. One fine day, his estranged son returns with the sole purpose of killing the individuals who introduced his father to the illegal activity. Gandhi will decide who. What would turn him into Mahaan?

In his role as Gandhi Mahaan, Vikram excels. He changes from a shy schoolteacher to a violent alcohol tycoon with ease. When he learns for the first time that he is capable of violence, his eyes communicate the wonderful menace. They both successfully convey his helplessness as a man forced to make a difficult decision. The other members of the major cast also perform admirably. Simha in particular does a great job as Sathyavan. Dhruv also serves as Dada. He occasionally puts on these intense displays. He is skilled at flaring up into a rage while the camera is on. He embodies the unrepentant malice and guiltless yearning for vengeance.

This mobster drama’s slow-moving narration is its main flaw. Mahaan also has a protracted running time. The primary story of the movie doesn’t start for quite some time. The movie moves slowly up to Dhruv Vikram’s entrance and leaves you feeling a little bored. Your patience will be put to the test by a number of situations in the first half of the film. The fact that Vikram still has it is Mahaan’s one encouraging aspect. Give the man a role without any makeovers, and he can still give it every limb. Vikram uses his physicality in a way that very few performers do. His face, hands, legs, and body all talk simultaneously while he is on television.

Written and directed by Karthik Subaraj, the first marriage between Vikram and his son Dhruv Vikram, Gandhi Mahan battles inner demons and external forces while trying to protect his spiritual empire from bureaucrats and bureaucrats. The script has enough to keep you hooked. It’s reflected in the meaty story, the faces of the characters who traveled, the style, and the complete aura. But the running time and rushed pacing kills some of the atmosphere, and his DOP’s Shreyaas Krishnan found the perfect story to leave to his camera. Battle sequences, dialogue, he captures them in such a way that half the drama is caused by the images themselves. Santosh Narayanan’s music is the winner here.

Verdict; The script by Karthik Subbaraj has enough to keep you interested. The compelling narrative, the faces of the persons who traveled, the aesthetic, and the overall vibe all reflect this. Watch it for the powerful performance of Chiyaan Vikram in the lead!

Rating: 3 out of 5.
