Although a practising Hindu, Gandhi's embracing of other faiths, particularly Christianity and Islam, is also depicted. The film covers Gandhi's life from a defining moment in 1893, as he is thrown off from a South African train for being in a whites-only compartment, and concludes with his assassination and funeral in 1948. A co-production between India and United Kingdom, it is directed and produced by Richard Attenborough from a screenplay written by John Briley.
But, the final product isn’t meant for a mainstream audience and the ‘A’ certificate seems totally justified.Gandhi is a 1982 period biographical film based on the life of Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of nonviolent non-cooperative Indian independence movement against the British Raj during the 20th century. Kudos to the director and team for taking efforts to portray such an impactful set of events in a vivid manner. An item number towards the end showcasing Pooja Gandhi dancing along with her gang members turns out to be distasteful and too brash for our liking.Īs the movie is based on real-life incidents, it lends the events on screen some credibility, even though they are really violent and disturbing. The background score by Arjun Janya is loud and dramatic. The entire movie carries a sepia tone and it suits the gritty and raw content. Ravi Shankar as the cop is convincing thanks to his aggression and authoritative ways. We have a little romance between her and Raghu Mukherjee - playing a newly wed couple.Īctors such as Ravi Kale and Makarand Deshpande get into the skin of their gangster characters and Makarand in particular succeeds in making us hate his wicked motives. Nisha Kothari plays one of the gang’s unfortunate victims and the pretty lass looks ravishing. Her skimpy saree, the body language and the rustic makeup are all authentic and make her look the part. We have an efficient cop who is on their trail and his efforts to nab the gang also take a chunk of the screen time.Īctress Pooja Gandhi is one among this dirty bunch of criminals and it sure takes guts from her side to get her hands this dirty.
Unsuspecting women at home, are at the receiving end of all this violence. As a result we have plenty of violence and explicit visuals of murder, rape, sleaze and their dirty lifestyle. Their lifestyle is unsettling and the director has taken no half-measures in portraying their modus operandi as raw and graphic as possible. Madurai and its surroundings are the scene of action here to suit the local sensibilities and we are shown a sizable gang from Dandupalyam, which goes about its nefarious activities with unfailing regularity. The movie is sort of a warning to the public to be alert and careful at home and watch out for the many anti-social elements which might be on the prowl. Karimedu is the Tamil dubbed version of the Kannada movie Dandupalya, directed by Srinivasa Raj, which released in 2012.
