Gandhi , my father : by Feroz Abbas Khan

Harilal Gandhi , son of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi , tried his level best to shy away from the pain of being a Gandhi !!

Gandhi , the father of the nation quotes 'Two people I could not convince my entire life , one was Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the other was my own son Harilal....'

Feroz Abbas , a debutant director from the field of theater , has moulded his own theatrical drama Mahatma VS Gandhi to a nicely woven screenplay which gives a different perspective to the 1947 independence struggle!

The film start to end, stays focused on the struggle of the son to come to terms with the ideals of his father .The obsession and the conviction of Bapu to fight for independence at the cost of family does not go down well with Harilal.

Akshay Khanna , looked jaded in parts of the film , but some of the sequences were executed with absolute finesse .Darshan Jariwala as Gandhi looks convincing with able support from characters like Kasturba(Shefali Chhaya) and Gulabo (Bhoomika).

Special Mention : The interweaving of characters in the actual footage of black n white filmography proves that Indian cinema has grown in leaps and bounds...

Watch it for the sheer pleasure of getting insight into the lives of Gandhi Parivaar!!

Rating : 3.5/5.0
