Movie Reviews of Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara (Hindi Film / Bollywood Movie / Indian Cinema DVD)
Movie Review: "Those With Courage Never Face Defeat" ~ Reflections On The Message Of Gandhi Through The Heart And Mind Of A Dementia Sufferer
Summary: 5 Stars
Note: Hindi with English subtitles.
Synopsis: Attum Chowhury, eminent author and professor of Hindi literature at the University of Bombay now lives the quiet serene life of a retiree with his daughter Trisha (Urmila Montondkar) and youngest son. Life was good until he gradually began losing his memory. When his dementia leads him into believing that he killed Gandhi drastic steps must be taken by his supportive family in an attempt to cure his delusion and keep him out of a hospital asylum.
Critique: Released in '06, `Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara' is a touching story of mental illness, family unity and social commentary. Anupam P. Kher is masterful in his portrayal of Attum Chowdhury who brilliantly makes the subtle transistion from loving and intelligent Father to terrified, semi-incoherent dementia sufferer. Urmila Montondkar also provides a superior performance which proves once more that she is much more than just a pretty face.
This is not your typical Bollywood faire, so if you're looking for singing and dancing you best look elsewhere. On the other hand if you're in the mood for a tender, thought provoking drama that delivers superior performances, excellent production values and a message that might take several days to absorb give `Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara' a viewing. When you're finished you might find yourself thinking about Gandhi and his message. Wouldn't that would be a good thing to concentrate on for a change?
