Summary: His spirit lives on forever
Review: This movie was vibrant; full of all the emotions that people all over the world have felt as a result of the big-headedness of the British and their deteriorated crown. I don't condemn the British, that would surely be immature. But their history (or lack thereof) is another story. Jai Hind.

Summary: Great Film
Review: This is one of the great movies made in the last fifty years. This movie is the kind of film that any student of history should watch. It is a good introduction to the topic of Indian Independence from Britian. It does not cover all the issues centered around Indian/Pakinstaini Independence, but it is only three hours long. Highly recommended.

Summary: A GREAT FILM
Review: This film, while overlooked by critics, deserves to be recognized as one of the greatest epics and biographies of all time. While some may be drawn away by the 3 hrs.+ time, this movie will keep you interested and deeply involved. The portrayal of Gandhi was done beautifully by Kingsley, who gave this epic a base for acting. I cannot reccomend this movie enough.
Rating:
Summary: A compelling classic
Review: I'll put it this way. I am 25, have the attention span of a gnat, and I was riveted for the entire 3-4 hours of this film. That says a lot. The story is fasciating and inspiring, and gave me a tremendous respect for one of the greatest people in history.

Summary: A Rich Tribute
Review: Tracing the Mahatma's (Godly one) life backwards from his assassination was indeed a directorial masterstroke, as if attempting to explain how he came to meet with such an end. A superb movie, it offers a bird's eye view on India's war for Independence, a glimpse of forgotten greats in the war like Gokhale (shown here as Gandhi's mentor), Tilak, Sardar Patel, Kriplani and many more. Obviously intended only for those interested in India, Indians, spirituality beyond conventional religion and Gandhian philosophy, it certainly substantiates Albert Einstein's description that "Generations to come will find it difficult to believe such a man in flesh and blood walked upon this Earth". This movie proves he was infinitely more than just a "fakir in a loin cloth from India" as per one of Churchill's poor judgments.

Summary: A captivating movie about an immortal man
Review: "Ghandi" has to be one of the best movies in history. Richard Attenborough depicts the life of the Mahatma with such brilliance that it captures the essence of why motion pictures are made. The emotional bond to this film is overwhelming even if you know the ending.

Summary: There is a difference
Review: There is a difference between respecting Gandhi, and appreciating the merits of a film that portrays Gandhi. Keeping in mind that this film was sponsored by the government of India, we should take the cinematic facts with a grain of salt. The movie does not address at all the sense of insecurity of muslims in India, which was a great regret for Gandhi, and which culminated into overwhelming support for partition. Also, it is deplorable the way muslim leaders are portraited. Suhrawardy, the charishmaatic leader of Bengal was shown as a gangster, initiating the Calcutta riot in 1946, and coming to Gandhi with hat in hand as if asking for forgiveness. He was the one who tried with Satyen Bose to keep the country (Bengal) intact when congress leaders supported partition. This film is full of other historical inaccuracies and a good prpaganda for Indian government riding on Gandhi's popularity all over the world.
Rating:
Summary: Excellent screenplay and acting
Review: This movie should be seen if for nothing else, for the direction, screenplay and acting. A great adaptation of a long and illustrious life into a 4 Hr. film. The Oscars are well deserved. An all time great movie.
