My Father - Gandhi

This is one of the recent films I saw. This is one of the better movies I have seen off late. This movie is about Mahatma Gandhi's eldest son Hari.
This Akshay Khanna has played the role of Hari Das Mohan Das karma chand Gandhi, to life.
The movie depicts the internal conflict that Hari had to under go; his difference of opinions with his father. In his search for his own life which he did not intend to spend in the shadow of the great M K Gandhi, he falters and falters.... in every mode of his life. Some times it looks as though, Bapu did not understand Hari's aspirations, just went ahead with his own ideals and this is what forced Hari to take the route he did. Hari had big dreams for himself... he wanted to be a barrister like his father, he did not understand the orientation that Bapu had given to his own life. Bapu was an Icon with great principles and practices, but, Hari was an open challenge to him in most aspects. Hari wanted to study further, but was not gaining the necessary support nor the real passion to go ahead and make it big.
Having faced a lot of failure in his life, he had made his own world view, it is in this world view that he tied himself up, his want for an independent recognition and some easy way to get rich; got him to live his life in such a way as to question Gandhiji's ideology.

The movie depicts the struggle that a son faces when he has an Iconic father.... really a thought to ponder over.... there is an old saying In Kannada... which means there is not much grass under a banyan tree.
