ajaicimhansv The movies' description upfront is a bit misleading. Although the crux is that the hero(Saketram's) wife getting raped and killed after which he has been misled that the backbone of these clashes was Gandhiji.. the essential CRUX was that it Describes " how the STANCE OF SAKET RAM(KAMAL HASSAN) changes when he meets the Person called GANDHI and this being evident to the Hindu extreme group send out Godse TO KILL GANDHI FOR WHICH KAMAL WAS SENT INITIALLY" we can say they used his depression to their advantage.. on the whole it Actually MAGNIFIES the image of Gandhi and not diminishes (As claimed by many during its release) we have missed celebrating a really great movie from a CONNOISSEUR of acting. IF possible please change the description at least now so that people are guided well.

Deepak Sridharan Hey Ram!!! This movie defines class. Plot Review : Its truly engaging how Saket Ram(KH) after being a victim of the Bengal Riots is made to believe by Hindu Extremist(AK) that MK.Gandhi is responsible for all the Chaos. How the next sequence of events make Saket Ram realize by his own conscience, Amjad Ali Khan (SRK) that Gandhi is the only sanity remaining is the plot of the movie.Acting: Kamal Haasan portrays his character in such a great fashion hardly ever seen before : Jubilant, Grief Stricken, Innocent, As an Aveneger , In Severe Dilemma , Man Reformed the range is awesome. Atul Kulkarni as Shriram Abhyankar leaves a very strong impression and was very rightly awarded the National Award. Shahrukh,Saurabh Shukla, naseeruddin shah, Hema Malini, Girish Karnad, Rani Mukherjee , Vasundra Das and all the well known faces have given their best.Pros : Good Plot, Nice Acting, Technically Brilliant = Great Film. Cons : Too much gore, more than average sexual content.

sridhar k Best movie and requires intelligent audiences!! Hard hitting storyline!! Great script, screenplay, direction and cast!! Of course the legend himself has performed very well. Mind blowing music by the maestro illaiyaraja!! Truly depicts the condition of the country just before and after independence!! Certain dialogues are very sensible and heart touching in many situations!! Over all it is one of the best movies from kamal and kollywood!! He is the only hero who is multi talented and can carry himself very well!! i started watching the movie at 9p.m and i was struck in my seat till the movie ends!! It is a must watch movie!!

Cijo Thomas An excellent work by Padmasree KamalHasan! No:1 performance by Kamal proves once again , he is the best actor in the whole globe! The movie is a tribute to the society. Very well pictured.The movie is moving with slow pace through out. Though at times we get the feeling that its gonna pace up, but it still moves in slow pace which might have disappointed some viewers and hence the movie couldn't do well in box office!I think the background music ram .. ram.. hey hey ram ram.. should have been played through out the movie which would have made this more thrilling!Anyways this is a masterpiece! Kamal,RaniMukherji, Shahrukh all done a good job!Cijo Thomas
