Gandhi My Father**
(India 2007)
Movingly played if slightly depressing variation on Richard Attenborough’s 1982 film (qv), where Mahatma Gandhi is father of the nation more than he is a father to his actual eldest son. It mimics Attenborough’s original in style (bar some brief Bollywood flourishes early on) with rather more character introspection than spectacle, and likewise is beautiful to look at, and also languid in its later stages.
Written and Directed by: Feroz Abbas Khan, based on books by Chandulal Dalal, Neelamben Parikh.
Producer: Anil Kapoor.
Starring: Akshaye Khanna (as Harilal Gandhi), Darshan Jariwala (as Gandhi), Shefali Shetty, Bhoomika Cawla, Daniel Janks.
Photography: David McDonald.
Music: Piyush Kanojia.
