Soundtrack
Cinematography
After a long spate of films which have lacked heart and soul and sank without a trace, here is one movie which leaves an impact on you as you come out of the theatre. It may not be a great entertainer but it leaves an impact and makes you sit back and ponder.

Often the nemesis of other recent releases the script is its strong point. The story moves at a good pace. Though Gandhi bashing is an in thing these days among the youths, people question his deeds for the freedom struggle. Here it is more human a father –son relationship gone awry. As it is a biographical movie, so it gets a bit biased towards the son. It is a burden on his shoulder as his father happens to be the ‘father of nation’   too.

In the story when Gandhi chooses others ahead of his son for a scholarship abroad, you can feel the angst of a son who like any other son expects favour from his father but gets preachings. It is the struggle between gandhi’s morals and his son’s expectations which makes it grey. Mother-son relationship is potrayed beautifully .A woman caught between his son and husband and Shefali Shah comes out with top honours doing the job.

Dialouges and screenplay make it look authentic. Cinematography is eye pleasing.

Director has carried out a great job of not getting biased heavily in favour of the son. Though a biographical he is not being judgemental anywhere.

As for the performances  Akshay  Khanna  delivers almost his best performance to date. Darshan Zariwala competes him frame to frame. Shefali Shah and Bhumika Chawla also deliver the goods.

All in all it is great watch. Go for it. It’s been a long time since bollywood came up with something like this.
