Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Parker Lewis This movie demands the attention of people interested in the family life of Mahatma Gandhi, played in this movie by Darshan Jariwala (but played by Ben Kingsley in Richard Attenborough's 1982 epic).Here we see the complex and sadly troubled relationship between father and son, Harilal (Akshaye Khanna). The movie is revealing because it highlights the greatness of a person in their public life, and the strains of family life incumbent on the public figure. One scene in this movie that moved me was when Harilal offered an orange to his mother. If this was a modern day scene, Hari would be offering his mother an Apple with a decent internet plan. I sometimes wonder about the concept of karma in Mahatma's life. I wonder if his disdain for black South Africans somehow led to his estranged situation with his son? I know Mahatma wanted to be on an equal footing with white South Africans (just as Indians feel aggrieved they aren't on the same pecking order level with whites in countries like Singapore and Malaysia if you know what I mean). Maybe if Mahatma showed black South Africans more respect, his relationship with Hari would have been more fulfilling.

mridul_banskota I gave this movie a 8 out of 10. Because well I very much enjoyed this movie. Being a follower of history and admirer of Bapu I was very much amused at the whole movie being about his relationship with his son. The movie went by very quick and we also got to see (in film) the influence Gandhi has had in India. Acted well cinematography was great and writing was very good. Gandhi's wisdom was heard throughout the film. NOT YOUR AVERAGE Hindi FILM. No dances no music 2hours 20 minutes of straight drama. Loved the little music that it did have. The train rides, the rural India Gandhi lived in, his living was portrayed very well too.

thp75 I saw the movie and really could not stop my tears. Its tragedy that India has no such leaders after freedom, who dare to do justice with their own children, when they don't behave properly.. In current generation, politicians bring their children's into politics without measuring their caliber and skills.. I remember the dialogue from Gandhi 'What kind of society we want to create/make with such people (about Harilal)?' No wonder that it will be a dream that India will hardly have such leader in this or next generation.. Einstein was right when he said about Gandhi that 'After 50 years one would hardly believe that such person with body, soul and mind (Mahatma Gandhi) had ever lived on this earth.' I sincerely want to THANKS a LOT to Anil kapoor, Feroze khan and all film actors/actresses for this wonderful movie about great person and relationship with his son. All father and son should watch this movie once and take some lessons for both roles.

sagulhmd Gandhi, the Great :Greatness in the world is associated with people like Alexanader the great, Ashoka the Great for their greatness lied in being glorified as more than humans. Gandhi is called great for actually not being a Great but being more human, for I always believe bringing out the humanity in us is where the greatness of being human lies.Gandhi was a human with humanity and one who strived for humanity ready to sacrifice himself in the battle for humanity but not his enemies. Let me move to the movie review now.About Gandhi My Father :Gandhi My father is a film not about Gandhi but about his son Harilal Gandhi.On telling the story of a son whose father was one of the greatest humans to walk this earth, the director succeeds in portraying the tale.The film succeeds in telling the story of a mislead son of a father who lead a nation to greatness.The movie is termed as a criticism of Gandhi's failure as a father to his son, I would rather say it is of a sacrifice Gandhi had made as a father of a son to do justice as a father of a nation.I wish the essence of this movie prevails not just in India, the Gandhian land, but through the hearts of all the people of this world.Gandhi the true Human. Jaihind.
