keep all political view aside and feroz khan and anil kapoor gandhi and my father be a good movie that cleverly explore the confused towards family side of mohandas karamchand gandhi and and the fight of his eldest son harilal gandhi with the society and his large than life father and and most importantly demon in his head . one draw parallel to gandhi the father of the nation and struggle any son could have with their fatherthe acting be good . shefali shetty and darshan zariwala and akshaye khanna strictly in that order add color and pathos to this heart wrench tale of harilal who weep to be hug just once and also run away at the faint touch of the finger . feroz khan direction and the production canvas be lavish and attractive and however and the screenplay could have be tight . i have see the play some year ago on a pirated video type dvd ( it be call mahatama v gandhi and i think ) and it be certainly more gripping . though and the movie background score and the father son and mother son moment be just a brilliant treat . this movie could have be great . it borderline to that . it have the potential so huge to have be just a story difference between a father and son or just gandhi or even both . somewhere and the plot be lose and when you expect absolute epitome of emotion and nothing come to you . it compare decently to other gandhi . certainly not an overview film like kingsley gandhi and or abstract a kamal hassan hey ram . the film just about manage to find it footing while however and one be leave wonder what if . worth a watch . 7 . 5/10 .
