Historical re-enactment of the day Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated. The story of the assassin is told mostly in long flashbacks. He develops a hatred for Gandhi based on events in his childhood and political brainwashing by extremists. He also falls in love with a married woman, an uninteresting romance that takes up far too much screen time. Finally returning to the present, we are privy to Gandhi's last moments in some fascinating scenes. The India locations are wonderful and there is an excellent soundtrack of classical Indian music.
