REVIEW
A formidable cast, interesting story line, good promos were enough to attract me to the theatre for the movie. Also supporting my aspirations to see the film were the encouraging reviews. But the venture did not quite turn out to be as interesting
Based on the story of the Father of the nation and his son, the film doesn’t quite work. But even though it has its high moments. Not getting too much into the theme of the movie the positive aspects of the movie are the performances. Each matching the other. Be it Harilal (Akshaye) or MK Gandhi (Darshan Jariwala) aur Kasturba(Sheffali Shah) or Gulab Gandhi (Bhumika Chawla) all are just unbeatable. They are the people who engross the audience into an uninteresting film. The cinematography and music are apt and inspiring.
That’s all about the positives. The screenplay of the movie is confusing. What didn’t help the movie was its directionless editing and director missing the plot at crucial moments
Overall not much to boast off. But do see the movie for Akshaye who makes the audiences cry. He is superb.
