A brilliant concept
However, the folks behind the movie haven't really done justice to it
It is very "preachy" and sounds like a monologue many a times
The concept was a high potential one: to challenge some views of Gandhiji and really debate and thrash them out. The film makers have simply not done ANY justice to it at all. They could have done a lot more.
For example: there are many controversies surrounding Gandhi ji , and none of these have been done justice to in the move:
* That he appeased a certain community by bending over backwards,
* that he discouraged Netaji Subash Chandra Bose,
* that he wanted people to just surrender and sacrifice not just their lives, but also the lives of their children for the sake of non-violence
* that he got VVIP treatment in jail and was in cahoots with the British
* that he overruled the majority vote that Sardar Patel got and insisted on Nehru becoming the prime minister
* that he had wanted the Congress to be dismantled after India got independence... and a lot more!
Highly mediocre movie, given the points that it could have intelligently addressed. Sad loss of potential .
