Ben Kenigsberg New York Times 01/29/2019
"The Gandhi Murder" begins with a claim to be "based on verified facts." Given the overall shoddiness of the production... those facts are probably worth reverifying. Go to Full Review

Ivan Goodman T @RT20558270 07/05/2024 The Gandhi Murder delves deeply into the chaotic period following India's partition, offering an intense narrative centered on Gandhi’s assassination. Luke Pasqualino shines as DCP Jimmy, delivering a powerful and emotionally charged performance. Vikas Srivastava is convincingly sinister as Nathuram Godse, adding significant tension to the story. The contributions of Stephen Lang and Om Puri enrich the film’s depth, making the historical context more compelling. Despite subpar VFX and action sequences, the strong storyline and excellent acting make this movie a must-watch for fans of historical dramas and conspiracies. The film’s exploration of controversial theories surrounding Gandhi’s death adds an additional layer of intrigue, making it a thought-provoking and captivating watch.
