Films to watch on Gandhi Jayanti
Hey Ram, a sensitive and semi-fictional historical drama written, directed, and starring Kamal Haasan, offers a distinctly different perspective. The film follows Saket Ram, an archaeologist consumed by hatred for his community, who plots to assassinate Gandhi against the backdrop of partitioned India and Gandhi’s eventual murder. Naseeruddin Shah delivers a remarkable performance as the Mahatma, serving as the catalyst for the main character’s transformation. The film is a multi-layered exploration of revenge, communal hatred, and ultimate redemption.
