A Tribute to Gandhi Ji

The title "Menein Gandhi ko nahi mara" in English "I dint kill Gandhi" is itself enough to grab your attention, but SADLY many thought this movie was Boring Even Before watching it. Well this movie isn't about HOW Gandhi died or about his assassins ….etc. This is a story about a professor living in this very 21'st century who all of a sudden claims that he dint kill Gandhi. Now to find out why this mysterious change, you will have to watch the movie.

However, let me tell you this that this movie isn't at all boring, and it's actually very short in comparison to the other 3 hours long bollywood movies.

What's more amazing is the fact that this movie is even HILARIOUS. Thanks to the one who came up with the idea of including humor in this movie?

Yes, this movie is simply Phenomenal with Outstanding performance by Anupam Kher and Urmila. Anupam kher is really one of the best actors in India. and yet again he delivers one of his best performance.

And stands along Mr.Kher is Urmila-who is also one of the best in bollywood. Actually speaking she's the only actress in India who does extraordinary, in other words Challenging roles. What's more Great about Urmila is that she excels in these roles. And she once again does a phenomenal job here.

As for the direction, I think it's simply SUPERB. The screenplay, the story is all well done.

All in all, A ONCE IN AWHILE GREAT BOLLYWOOD Movie. Too sad that people judged this movie as a Totally Serious drama.(even before watching it) Well don't judge a book by its cover. And lastly, not all Critically Acclaimed movies are Boring.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND this movie to all the people who believed in Gandhi (Strangely also to the ones who dint believe in him). 10/10
