He is suffering\u003cbr\u003e\nfrom what is laughingly called 'old age' - brief periods of forgetfulness,\u003cbr\u003e\nblanks in memory. Little does anyone realize that the problems are much\u003cbr\u003e\ndeeper, and that this is just the beginning of a journey that will end in a\u003cbr\u003e\nman becoming a prisoner of his mind.As his memories start to fade, a childhood\u003cbr\u003e\ntrauma surfaces - a memory of being accused of murdering Gandhi. The more his\u003cbr\u003e\nlife is whitewashed, the stronger this one memory remains. As his world turns\u003cbr\u003e\nincreasingly hostile, Prof. Chaudhary sees everything as an enemy - his house\u003cbr\u003e\nis a jail, his family, all are his captors. And in the midst of all this is\u003cbr\u003e\nthe story of his daughter. A single woman, working to not only support the\u003cbr\u003e\nfamily monetarily, but is also the only lifeline that can save her father from\u003cbr\u003e\ndrowning in the universe his mind is creating. It is the story of the power of\u003cbr\u003e\none person's strength, hope and determination in pulling their loved one away\u003cbr\u003e\nfrom the abyss. It is a film that connects two disparate events together. One,\u003cbr\u003e\nof a small middle class family in present day Mumbai struggling to come to\u003cbr\u003e\nterms with the fact that the head of the family is now suffering from early\u003cbr\u003e\ndementia and two, the assassination of the father of the nation, Mohandas\u003cbr\u003e\nKaramchand Gandhi.The Professor's often repeated and exasperated denial 'Maine\u003cbr\u003e\nGandhi Ko Nahin Mara' is rooted back in an era when a truth seeking son of\u003cbr\u003e\nIndia became the father of a newborn nation. Someone killed this man, but his\u003cbr\u003e\ntruth survives. He lives as long as his ideals breathe within us.So though the\u003cbr\u003e\ntitle of the film says 'Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara', it also sends out a\u003cbr\u003e\nmessage saying that Gandhi ji is still alive in me! He should be alive in\u003cbr\u003e\nevery one of us! Review Anupam Kher is simply brilliant. His portrayal\u003cbr\u003e\ndeserves applause in superlatives. There is nothing made-up about his\u003cbr\u003e\nperformance. Restrained with sensitivity and awed with a guilt-ridden past,\u003cbr\u003e\nKher gives complex dimensions to professor Chaudhry. Urmila Matondkar isn't\u003cbr\u003e\nfar behind. Her credibility as a versatile actress is further established in\u003cbr\u003e\nher reserved albeit realistic delivery of emotions. Rajat Kapur and Addy lend\u003cbr\u003e\nconviction to their parts. Even in brief roles, Samir Soni (as the doctor),\u003cbr\u003e\nBoman Irani and Waheeda Rehman leave a graceful impression. Technically, Maine\u003cbr\u003e\nGandhi Ko Nahin Maara stands out for its flawless photography by Raaj A\u003cbr\u003e\nChakarvarthy. The imagery of his shots have their own silent tale to tell. If\u003cbr\u003e\nyou think Bappi Lahiri is all about disco, his soulful background score has\u003cbr\u003e\nthe last laugh. Dialogue and screenplay writer Sanjay Chauhan gets the heart\u003cbr\u003e\nof Barua's script just right. His meaningful dialogues make a point without\u003cbr\u003e\nbeing theatrical or overtly persuasive. --platform47.com Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin\u003cbr\u003e\nMara is not a movie you can miss, for rarely does it happen in Bollywood that\u003cbr\u003e\nintelligent cinema like this makes its way to the mainstream. Even if you do\u003cbr\u003e\nnot have much of an appetite for sentimental drama, watch it as a one-off\u003cbr\u003e\nventure. As the kind of infrequent masterpiece that will sit in a cultural\u003cbr\u003e\nmuseum. Of course, you can rest assured that you will thoroughly enjoy the\u003cbr\u003e\nprocess. --platform47.com Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara\"\" (MGKNM) is that tender\u003cbr\u003e\ndewdrop perched on a wind-swept leaf that clings by sheer willpower. Its\u003cbr\u003e\nstrength comes from within rather than from extraneous cinematic powers,\u003cbr\u003e\nstoking it into visible vibrancy. It is a thought provoking film that raises\u003cbr\u003e\nquestions on many issues - the forgotten Gandhian ideals, the trauma of people\u003cbr\u003e\nin old age, the indifference of some children and the commitment of others.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe movie involves a viewer from initial reels and keeps him engaged until the\u003cbr\u003e\nend. --platform47.com","brand":"Yash Raj Films","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44644041785510,"sku":"0R-5296-UCC1","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/mahaekart.com\/products\/maine-gandhi-ko-nahin-mara-hindi-film-bollywood-movie-indian-cinema-dvd-dvd","provider":"Mahaekart LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
