Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh

The movie is a new experiment in Bollywood and executed well by Rajkumar Santoshi. Unlike Pathaan, this movie provides the viewers an opportunity to think and judge.

The movie debunks several myths about Gandhi and Godsey and some historical events. Deepak Antani and Chinmay have delivered impressive performances.

Santoshi, who has some path breaking and popular movies in his career as a director like Ghayal, Ghatak, Damini, Andaz Apna Apna, Khakee has come up with another winner.

Keeping in view of the current enviroment in the country, It can said it be a brave attempt by Rajkumar Santoshi.

Sameer lodaya

The movie is an absolute example of a brilliant presentation

The concept is one of its kind where veteran director mr Santoshi has made a tremendous presentation of this concept

The ideology of both the leaders was accurately defined and how both convinced each other on their perceptions and mistakes

The conversation is so highly pitched which clears all our doubts and gives a new prospective to rethink about living and humanity

The movie is so much potential of knowledge which was perfectly presented in dialogues and scenes

Both Chinmay and Deepak has played fabulous one can observe high levels of acts , expressions, emotions , rage , dialogues delivery which is seen only in these types of non commercial films

This was purely a OTT show where whole family can sit together and learn the ideologies.

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 .

Wonderfully written drama with brilliant presentation of different frame of references.

Conversations between the lead characters Gandhi and Godse are very thoughtful. Movie highlights what Gandhi & Godse lacked in their thoughts. If they had worked together, we could have seen completely a different india altogether.

Only negative for the movie it has lot of scope to experiment. Instead of stating known facts director could have shown more about the ideological differences.

Lead actors were brilliant in performance. Though the side characters must improve a lot. Casting and costumes of the national leaders is exceptional.

Nice experiment done by Rajkumar Santoshi in Indian cinema. This what if- Alternate history experiment movie is very thought provoking. This clash of ideologies and the very basis of which idea of India is formed. It is also well balanced and has captured very well what emotions prevailed in our country during that time and the challenges it faced. Also that last scene is just jaw dropping.

The only complaint I have is that they chose to show flaws in Gandhi's ideology on social issues but didn't offer his point of view on his religious bias and appeasement as in he just ignored Godse's counter on that aspect.

The good thing about this movie is that Rajkumar Santoshi will receive flak from both left and right wing. This nuance was much needed in our political discourse which has become too extreme to even listen to the other side.
