10. Review of film "Gandhi Godse: Ek Yudh" A pertinent discussion on the concept of India
Director Rajkumar Santoshi takes artistic licence to dispel myths that have been allowed to flourish for years in an effort to delegitimize Mahatma Gandhi in the eyes of the general people at a time when history is being fictionalised. There is a misconception that Gandhi pushed the first administration of independent India to pay Rs 55 crore to Pakistan by calling it a "pawn of the Empire" and "faking fasts." According to the movie, this event led Nathuram Godse to murder Gandhi on January 30, 1948. After reviewing the circumstances leading up to Gandhi's murder, Santoshi leaps into an other universe where Gandhi survives the three bullets Godse fired into his chest and approaches him for a conversation.
