The Gandhi Murder is a 2019 British-Indian historical political thriller film directed by Karim Traïdia and Pankaj Sehgal. It examines the events leading to the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.^[2] It stars Stephen Lang, Luke Pasqualino, Om Puri and Vinnie Jones.

Plot

The film posits that the assassination of Gandhi was aided and abetted by the British, exploiting weaknesses and political divisions in India's police and security services. Three Indian police officers (Lang, Pasqualino and Puri) try to stop this.

Cast

Stephen Lang as D.I.G Sunil Raina
Luke Pasqualino as DCP Jimmy
Joseph K. Bevilacqua as Abraham Lincoln
Om Puri as T.G.
Vinnie Jones as Sir Norman Smith
Jesus Sans as Gandhi
Bobbie Phillips as Elizabeth
Mark Moses as Sir Percy Sillitoe
Colton Tapp as John Booth

Reception

The Guardian panned the film, awarding it one star and criticizing the strange casting choices (such as Lang as an Indian character) and poor production values.^[3] The New York Times was equally critical, questioning the basis of the film and calling the production 'shoddy'.^[4] The Los Angeles Times called the script 'clunky' and said 'Its timely messages become muted amid a kaleidoscope of settings, characters, brusque action scenes, blunt speechifying and wan romance.'^[5]
