Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara - A Review
The movie ‘Maine Gandhi ko Nahin Mara’ is about a person who is a mentally ill and thinks he has killed Mahatma Gandhi. He thinks his house is a private jail and his son is the jailor of the jail. The movie starts with a Dr. Uththam Choudary (Anupam Kher), a retired professor, going to a chemistry class and teaching Hindi. He was a Hindi professor and is renowned poet who has his own publications. Thinking that he is having normal memory loss, his daughter Trisha (Urmila) takes him to a doctor, suggested by her boyfriend. His situation starts getting worse to a point where he asks his younger son Karan (Addy) who he was, and later starts thinking he is the jailor of the private jail to keep him because he has killed Mahatma Gandhi.
Worried by the developments, Karan calls his elder brother Ronu (Rajit Kapoor) from America. As the events are progressing, Trisha loses her boyfriend (reason being she is a daughter of a mentally retarded man and it could be a hereditary). Amidst all the confusion, she finally finds an expert Dr. Kothari (Pravin Dabbas), who takes this case as a welcome challenge and starts exploring how Professor Uththam got the notion that he killed Mahatma Gandhi. The movie takes a flash back to an 8 year old Uththam playing blindfolded archery with his friend. On 30th January, 1948 he gets blindfolded and one his playmates put Mahatma Gandhi’s picture on the wall where Uththam is to aim. His aim being always accurate, he shoots Mahatma Gandhi’s picture. Seeing this, his father accuses him of killing the Mahatma. Added to his misfortune, Mahatma Gandhi gets assassinated on the same day. This makes Uththam’s father very angry on Uththam and never sees his face again.
What do the doctors do to this case and how the move proceeds is better left to be watched. The movie ends with a good message at the end.
The movie has a very good cast with Anupam Kher, and Urmila doing an excellent job. It’s definitely a well made movie, but to be honest, I did not understand the point of the movie. But, it’s definitely watch-able once. What does Anupam Kher feel?
