Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara - Review

This movie is superb. Thanks to Anupam Kher and Urmila Matondkar with their splendid acting.
Infact I like the role of Urmila as a young girl helping his father, managing her love life, her brother and at the sametime working.
I would definitely give credit to the script writer, Jahnu Barua. What an amazing script and beautifully portrayed by Mr. Kher.
The story is all about an old age father who fights with dementia/Alzheimer. 
He forgets things, he fails to identify his sons and family too. He reason for his behavior is later found to be his guilt of killing Gandhiji.
One good doctor helps Urmila in treating her father. By talking to Kher's childhood friend, he gets to know that Kher in his childhood while playing shoots arrows on to a picture of Gandhiji. His father watches this and beats Kher black and blue. Almost at the same time Gandhiji gets killed by Nathuram Godse. Kher's father treats his son's act as a bad omen and   vows never to see his son's face again in his life.
This makes a huge impact on Kher's psyche. 
Imagine a father scolds and beats his son and would never see his face and talk to him for the rest of his life. I even doubt if such fathers exist, if they do then they should never have become fathers at all.
Kher's doctor after finding out the truth behind this phychic behavior arranges a dramatic court scene with all the judges and lawyers. Judge declares Kher as innocent and it gets proved that someone behind Kher shot the Mahatma and kher's pistol was a dummy one.
That ends the story.
Of course I cried again, very few movies make you cry and I love watching this movie.
Mr Kher is brilliant in his acting and kudos to Urmila as well.
How good she manages. A young beautiful girl with a mentally ill father at home. Her lover brings her parents to talk about their marriage but Kher's behaviour worries her boy friend's parents. He even marries some other girl and Urmila finds this out when she sees him at some place. Poor girl, she just couldn't bear it and faints.
How much you can take in a lifetime!! How many pains, its difficult for human heart to endure so much pain.
God save women on the earth, their patience and endurance is what driving this world.
Overall full marks to the movie and the director. 
A must watch!!!
