Gandhi, My Father

The movie depicts the relationship of mahatma gandhi with his son hiralal, how the phililophies and idealogy of bapu affects the upbringing of hiralal. Hiralal becomes a failure in life. The movie doesnt seem to take sides, but gives factual representations of hiralal's upbringing, hiralal-bapu's relationship, and then further moves on to hiralal's misdemeanors.

Everyone acted well in the movie. Akshaye's acting was pretty neat. There were no songs in the movie :) 

My personal take is that Mahatma was responsible for the  hiralal's bewildered life. As a kid cuz ofgandhi's idealogy etc. he didnt get a normal upbringing, not even a formal education. Gandhi screwed up his life. I felt gandhi used his son to further his own purpose by pushing him in satyagraha etc.

I liked the movie. Its little slow, little emotional - but still pretty good.
