Gandhi My Father, considered a revolutionary movie ever to emerge from India telling the untold story of the Father of the Nation's tragic relationship with his eldest son, is globally released today.
The movie "Gandhi My Father" is a powerful study of the nature and sufferings of the patriarchal relationship between one of the world's most loved figures - Mahatma Gandhi - and his eldest son Harilal who was dogged by misfortune.
It (movie) delves into a territory that has never before been visited by any film and will spark debate into certain unknown facet of the Mahatma, Feroz Khan, director of the film, said in London on Wednesday night.
Based on his thought-provoking play, Mahatma v/s Gandhi, Feroz Khan has combined his unparallelled talents as a writer and director with the production skills of fellow industry stalwart Anil Kapoor, to create the most affecting film of modern times.
According to critics, it is far from a biopic account or portrayal of Gandhi's struggle towards India's independence.
The film focuses on the doomed relationship between a father respected by an entire nation but rebuked by a son who was disowned, and whose bitter end was the result of years of abject alcoholism.
Darshan Jariwala plays the role of Mahatma Gandhi while Akshaye Khanna is in the cast of Harilal Gandhi.
Anil Kapoor forays into independent production with his banner, Anil Kapoor Films Company with this movie, joining hands with the London-based leading integrated media and entertainment company Eros International.
Kishore Lulla, Chairman and CEO of Eros International said "Gandhi My Father marks a milestone in the 30 years history of Eros International”. - DDNEWS India
