very frankly speaking i didnt want to see this movie...i thought the movie would be focussed on bringing down a great man how he failed as a father....n sympathising with his son..and how he suffered etc etc...i saw this movie coz my mom wanted to..n well i have to admit i was in for a surprise...first of all i wanna say brilliant acting by akshaye khanna as harilal gandhi darshan jarivala as mahatma gandhi n shefali shah as kasturba gandhi...
everyone is good in movie but the main characters stand out..
n as the story goes...let me say i feel the director has just shown incidences n facts in front of the audience..given a very neutral view..jus as maybe is written in biography....
no negative things abt mahatma gandhi was spoken...
n of course many of the father to son dialogues touch your heart....the way a father wants to reach out to his son...show his son his love...n constant hurt for not being able to convince his son...
n of course u feel for the son too...who is a nice person..but is over burdened by the name he carries...by the responsibilty the name carries...n the frustration for being unable to live upto it.....he is used by others....n he is just victim of his circumstance...n of course there is a factor that his father doesnt understand his dream his wishes....coz the father thinks he knows wats the best for his son..or what wud suit his son better...or at least the father thinks so
this leads to disharmony between them....it is story of many families...just we dont know the story coz they dont have the illustrous name GANDHI
watch movie for acting...n heart touching moments in the story of this one particular father n his son...
