One of the most revealing and
courageous movies ever to come out of India, Feroz Abbas
Khan's Gandhi My Father tells the extraordinary story of the
relationship between Mahatma Gandhi (Darshan Jariwala) and
his eldest son, Harilal (Akshaye Khanna). The movie begins
in June 1948, a few weeks after Gandhi's assassination. A
terminally ill, drunken, dirty, heavily bearded man is
picked up in the streets of Bombay and gives his father's
name as Gandhi. The officials at the paupers' hospital think
he's referring to the nation's father, but he is in fact
Harilal Gandhi.
