Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film caused Anil Kapoor and Anupam Kher's relationship to go sour. Anil had intended on casting Anupam in the film as Gandhi. Anupam agreed, then started his own film "Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Maara" .This angered Anil as he thought Anupam was playing the role of Gandhi in the film and he did not inform Anil he was going to make a film on Gandhi. Anupam reasoned that he was not playing Gandhi in his home production, but it was too late. Anil felt betrayed by Anupam.
Featured review
Gandhi My Father is a well made movie. It nicely portrays the life of Gandhiji's Eldest Son Harilal. His character, his differences with his father, his love for his family, his desire to stand on his own, his failure, his ego.. Akshaye Khanna completely justifies the role of Harilal. Just not him, everyone did well in the roles they played. Darshan Jariwala is the best on-screen Gandhiji I've ever seen. But I will cut three points as there were few shortcomings.
First, movie was fifteen-twenty minutes longer than it should have. Second, the movie needed more research into Harilal's character. Somewhere, the character looked incomplete. Also, his relation with his brothers was not shown. There was no mention of any other child of Gandhiji in the whole movie. I believe the character like Harilal should be having at least some differences his brothers as well, considering the egoist nature of Harilal.
Anyways, despite some shortcomings, I liked the movie. Recommended...
