a masterpiece projecting the life of a master - Mahatma Gandhi ........................

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2008)

A true life-story of Mohandas Karam Chand Gandhi.The movie portrays a very accurate picture of the lives of Gandhi and his colleagues.Ben Kingsley was admirable and very natural in this role and thoroughly believable. The supporting cast was also very sensibly casted .No surprise that Steven Spielberg worked with them later in his movies. The story itself is a thriller from start to end.
Gandhi taught the world the true power of the terms like ahimsa(peace) and satya(truth).he was rightly called as the "Mahatma".this was very aptly shown in this masterpiece.
The British Empire was the embodiment of the word 'Power'; but it was surrounded by a sea of ideas it couldn't countenance or embrace, to its loss. How victorious can cannons and bullets be? Ironically, not victorious at all since ideas always precede force. Fortunately for Britain the average person understood this principle and the psychotics were moved out of the way. One day America will wake up too.
