We saw "Gandhi,my Father .".Since a long time no movie has touched my heart like this one .To my surprise I found myself shedding tears .The relationship between the Mahatma and Harilal has been portrayed brilliantly .I think the Director has done an excellent job in taking no sides .He has presented the reality and reality is never simple .It cleared some myths too.It was not like Gandhi had no time ,or no compassion for his child or that Harilal did not love his father .Time and again both tried to come together but nothing could be done .Than what went wrong ?May be destiny ?Harilal was heartbroken whenGandhi chose to send someone else for higher studies and yet he tried to follow his path .Gandhiji who was the epitome of truth and integerity was apalled by Harilal,moral lapses and yet he tried hard to bring him back to the mainstream .The misery of Harilal has been brought to life brilliantly by Akshaye Khanna .
This movie also made me think about so many issues life,love and success .Did Gandhi failed as a father or Harilal was not a good son ?And than what about the women ?Wife and the mother Kasturba and Gulab the silent spectators and sufferors of the tragedy in which they had no role .I think every father and every son must watch this movie .
