I am yet to se ethe movie
But have seen/met a couple of gandhi family members.

It is very unfortunate taht teh dictum" take care of your house before you take care of the society" is actually possible.The task of working at grass root levels to reach a certain position and add experience to ones stature,it crosses path with nurturing family .Its sad that such parents either want the family to join their bandwagon or simply ignore them The present folks at least must carve out a path which the children aspire for and help them as an individual in the society if not of his /her won family Do not think peopel will talk about personal interests being safe guarded If they do tell them its important to take care of own family, neighbours, the strret, the council, the village, etc etc in that order and theres nothing to be ashamed of in that.NOT all can do the same kind of work,THANKS to the makersof this film Hope it delivers proper mesaage to all parents.

Attenborough's film goes on for too long, patronises it's audience and is dull in large patches (much as the great man himself) so I'm hoping this film will be more than a 'worthy companion' to it. I shall go and watch it in the expectation that it will touch me on an emotional and spiritual level, whilst providing a true spectacle for the audience, something Hollywood only occasionally achieves. It's also a shame the 'Times' critic seems to have so little empathy or understanding for an industry which provides him with an income. Stop continually comparing two film making giants whose audiences and purpose are so different. Bollywood is not Hollywood's poor relation, it's a refreshing alternative that can spellbind and entrance an audience who are willing to let it.

This movie sounds fascinating.

A serious movie about Gandhi, one of India's greatest, emerging out of Bollywood is welcomed and more than due . If Bollywood has managed to capture some new perspective on Gandhi's life, especially in a 'never before seen' but still realistic light, then kudos to it. No man is infallible and if there may have been negative aspects of Gandhi's personal family life , that simply makes him more human and does not detract from his great contribution to this world. According to this review, the family's input was sought so that really ought to lay to rest the controversy to a large extent.

'Intelligent Indian cinema' is always refreshing and I appreciate this author's critical reviews so I can hardly wait to see the movie.

This movie sounds fascinating. A serious movie about Gandhi, one of India's greatest, emerging out of Bollywood is more than due in view of the large numbers of movies produced annually.
