With Gandhi as the title, it is obvious that the film is based on the true life events of Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhiji, known as the Father of the nation, in this movie, is shown as the Father to his sons.

Plot

The movie portrays an account of the relationship between Gandhi ( Darshan Jariwala The actor Darshan Jariwala is a Hindi television a >> Read More... ) and his eldest son, Harilal ( Akshaye Khanna Akshaye Khanna is a popular Indian film actor. He >> Read More... ). Harilal fails to follow his father’s steps and is left behind when the family moves to South Africa. Harilal marries Gulab ( Bhumika Chawla Bhumika Chawla or Rachna Chawla is an Indian actre >> Read More... ) meanwhile. Harilal desires to become a barrister like his father. Rebellious by nature, Harilal fails to impress his father but loves his mother, Kasturba ( Shefali Shah The beautiful Shefali Shah is an actress of Indian >> Read More... ). Harilal converts to Islam and then back to Hinduism and is later disowned by his parents.

Star Performances

Akshaye does full justice to Harilal. He described his brilliance through his performance. His performance is so brilliant that it will be remembered whenever the movie will be talked about. Darshan Zariwala, who played Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, has shown immense talent. Nobody can ever play Gandhi the way he does. Shefali Shah is brilliant as Kasturba. Even Bhumika Chawla shines as Gulab.

Analysis

The movie gives a backdrop of major historical events in Gandhiji’s life during his freedom movement. It shows that we are all humans in the end, and nobody is perfect. It portrays the growing distance between a father and his son when Gandhi was more concerned about the nation’s freedom. It is a moving story. 
This is a brave attempt by Feroz Abbas Khan Born on 1959, Feroz Abbas Khan has various feather >> Read More... and Anil Kapoor Anil Kapoor was born on 24th December 1956 in Mumb >> Read More... . These types of movies are a challenge for the directors, producers and actors. But everyone has excelled in their work.

What’s there?

  • Exceptionally good story.
  • Phenomenal performances by all the stars. Special mention to Akshaye Khanna, his performance will amaze you. 
  • The inimitable direction of Feroz Abbas Khan is a cherry on the cake.Something you will not learn from your history books.

What’s not there?

A little more research on the problem between Gandhi and Harilal could have given a much broader frame of the story.Also, the movie doesn’t show Gandhi’s relationship with his other children.

Verdict 

A treat for History lovers. Something every Indian and even Non-Indian should watch. Strongly recommended!
