Watch Gandhi, My Father 2007 123movies, Full Movie Online – Mohandas was born in the Gujarati speaking family, had several brothers who jointly owned property in Rajkot. At the age of 13 Mohandas married Kasturba. On attaining maturity he re-located to England, became a Barrister, returned home, and together with Kasturba re-located to South Africa. They returned to India for a few years and this is where they became parents of four sons: Harilal, Manilal, Ramdas and Devdas. Subsequently, the family returned to South Africa, leaving Harilal alone. As Harilal did not do well in his studies he got married to Gulab without his parents’ blessings. Mohandas then invited Harilal to South Africa and on his Secretary’s request also invited Gulab, who had recently given birth to a daughter, Rami. Harilal wanted to be a Barrister like his father but found his movements restricted as his father wanted him to actively participate against the Satanist and Racist British regime, leading to Harilal being arrested and imprisoned. Harilal’s hopes of becoming a Barrister were dashed when Mohandas sent his nephew, Chaganlal, instead, and when Chaganlal proved a failure, sent Sorabjee to England in his place. Harilal then changed his name to Pranlal Mehta in a vain attempt to return to India. A frustrated Gulab, now a mother of 4, did return to India with her children. After actively protesting draconian British Laws, especially the Christian Act that only recognized marriages performed by a Christian Priest, by General Ian Smutts, Mohandas was imprisoned, and upon being released returned to India. He hoped that Harilal would follow in his footsteps, but Harilal re-located to Calcutta, found a job as a Cashier, embezzled and borrowed money to buy imported cloths, in vast contrast to Mohandas’ campaign to burn foreign clothing, got himself in trouble and debt, prompting Gulab to return to leave him. Harilal did return to Gujarat after he heard of his son, Shanti’s and Gulab’s passing. He did get involved in the freedom struggle temporarily, but was lured by some businessmen, who used his and his dad’s name to get people to invest, and then disappeared, forcing Mohandas to publicly disown his son, who was then arrested and imprisoned. Unstable, unemployed, unable to keep up with his father’s lofty standards, Harilal considered becoming a Christian, but then with Zakaria’s help became an Islamic and changed his name to Abdullah, prompting Kasturba to pay him a visit and talk him to becoming a Hindu again. Then when Mohandas announced the beginning of ‘Do or Die’ campaign in Bombay during 1942, he was placed under house arrest in the Agha Khan Palace with Hindus calling him a traitor and Muslims praying for his death. This is where a distraught, disheveled and bearded Harilal will meet his parents. Will his parents accept him as he is and welcome him back?.
Plot: With Gandhi My Father, producer Anil Kapoor and director Feroz Abbas Khan have shed light onto Gandhi the person, rather than Gandhi the icon. Using Gandhi’s political career as a canvas, the film paints a picture of his intricate, complex, and strained relationship with his son Harilal Gandhi.

Average
Given the subject matter of this film, I think that it could have been much better. I felt that the script lagged in certain places making the narrative boring.

The actor who played the role of Gandhi was miscast. He did not do justice to the role and did not bring forth the correct emotional depth that was required for the role. Shefali Shah was average as Kastur. Akshay Khanna was brilliant as Harilal Gandhi carrying the majority of the film on his shoulders.

Cinematography was brilliant. Set design and costumes were adequate, capturing the essence of the period that the movie is set in.

On a whole this movie seemed flat in places. It is interesting from a historical point of view but that’s where it ends. Gandhi My Father is an average movie that could have been better given better acting,screen writing and directing.
