Gandhi My Father is a powerful study of the nature and sufferings of the patriarchal relationship between one of the world's most beloved figures, “Mahatma” Gandhi, and his misfortunate eldest son Harilal. Although inspired by the philosophies and teachings of one of the greatest men of the modern world, the groundbreaking Gandhi My Father is far from a biopic account or portrayal of Gandhi's struggle towards India's independence. Delving deep into the personal tragedy that Gandhi kept secret from the world, Feroz Khan's film focuses on the doomed relationship between a father respected by an entire nation, but rebuked by a son who was disowned, and whose bitter end was the result of years of abject alcoholism.
