Gandhi, My Father

"Gandhi, My Father" is a powerful drama that explores the complex and strained relationship between Mahatma Gandhi and his son Harilal. Despite his father's iconic status, Harilal struggles to find his own identity and dreams of studying abroad, much to Gandhi's dismay. As the two men's ambitions clash, their bond becomes increasingly frayed. Harilal's descent into financial ruin, alcoholism, and religious confusion only serves to widen the rift between them. Set against the backdrop of India's fight for independence, this film poignantly captures the personal cost of political ideals and the struggle to find one's place in the shadow of a legendary parent.
