Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh

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.

Many users online have written that GG: Ek Yudh is an Anti Gandhi film trying to malign his ideologies and promote Godse's ideologies. To these users spreading fake news , watch the film first and then give opinion and do not misguide others .

The film fully supports Gandhi's ideologies. In fact , in the 2nd half, we see Gandhi taking several steps to curb oppression and violence in the society. In fact, i would say, this is a Gandhi class where Godse is the student understanding that Gandhi was not always wrong . However, the film gives Godse a chance to keep his opinions too and while mostly he's proven wrong , it is in the climax where Godse trumps Gandhi when a major flaw in Gandhi's character is exposed. This entire classroom sequence takes place in a prison and it was quite interesting to watch (for many it might not be and just become too preachy).

It is to be noted, the film is a fictional tale where Gandhi "survives" Godse's assassination attempt hence they are able to put forward their thoughts . Godse seemed a person dreaming only of a Hindu country but Gandhi wants all religions to be together living with peace and harmony.

The execution of this film is very average tbh barring the prison sequence which is a touch better. After 2nd half, the film shows Gandhi go in full badass mode popping up wherever there is oppression and violence. This part, the film moves at such break neck speed that you are never really allowed to settle down with whatever is going on. This is where the film faltered completely . It almost felt like I am watching one of those superhero films where a superhero would save the day from multiple sequences of oppresion shown in quick succession.

Performances of actors playing Gandhi Godse is too good. Gandhi's make-up is just top notch so much so that i mistook him often for the real Gandhi . Godse, well i am not sure how he looked but his performance was just out-standing!! There dialogue delivery and body language made sure a preachy prison sequence also became interesting.

Overall, a better execution would have made this film a terrific treat for Gandhi and Godse followers . It's unique up front and has terrific performances. Give it a chance , maybe you will like it or might not, i can't say that but i..i liked it quite.

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.

I normally don't write reviews but this movie made me do it absolute gem made to perfection without any bias treat to watch. A Republic Day worth Movie. The story might be fiction but viewpoint seems like the writer personally knew Gandhi and Godse. Very sad to see only few screens were given to this movie with most preferring Pathan over this. Had there been a big actor this movie would have been a blockbuster only word of mouth which I am sure will be great should save the film provided it gets enough screen space. Acting was top notch. I was feeling like I was amongst them when all this happened. Music was soothing and Screenplay was treat to eyes. Republic Day gift from 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.
