Ratings and reviews

The movie was excellent. As usual Kamal Haasan excellent acting throughout the film and he also made everybody in the film to act good. But the disadvantage is the movie is so lengthy. Songs and BGM were also superb. Shah Rukh Khan superb acting.

Grt direction. ... watch ,learn & introspect the contradictions...Beyond the reality. What you not being told

Must watch for every Indian and anyone who's studying Indian history and Gandhi. Kamalhaasan's direction is authentic and writing intense. The many layers of the film make it intriguing and commands a revisit.
