Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 01/29/2019
Its timely messages become muted amid a kaleidoscope of settings, characters, brusque action scenes, blunt speechifying and wan romance. Go to Full Review
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. See more 05/19/2019 They boost it is based off of a true story how ever, it is a fake aganda progated. So if u are going with an intention of knowing the truth, DONT WATCH IT , how ever if u are going to watch a drama, and really just a drama( fiction) yes it is ok . cos the real truth is deep black dark DIVIDE N RULE politics that the britishers played WHILE RULING INDIA. The assassination was a out cry of each indian who loved their country than themselves ! so go watch it as a FICTION not and never as part of ur quest in search of truth. British or any foreign film makers will NEVER TELL or speak the heart of a TRUE INDIAN !! RIGHT ? See more 02/03/2019 I walked out half way through the movie, enough said. Don't waste time regular guy review See more deke p @RT96675217 02/01/2019 Interesting, even if historically disputable, take on assassination of M. Ghandi. Apparently it was allowed by a Indian govt conspiracy who thot the only way to prevent worsening Muslim-Hindu atrocities was to allow Ghandi to become a martyr. And the producers allowed a very white looking guy to play the part of the Indian govt guy pushing most for it. See more 02/01/2019 Made by a bunch of amateurs on every level. Cinematic disaster! Don't waste your time and money! See more 01/31/2019 Yesterday we had gone to the Mall of Emirates to see the movie -The Gandhi Murder A totally absorbing taking us down India's history for freedom and it's aftermath leading to communal riots. True facts came out which none of us ever knew about our own country greatest hero and Father of the Nation, Gandhi ji I think the film brings to light what has been kept hidden and the deeper meaning which eventually led to the assassination of Gandhi and how even in his death he United his country India and the country to become the world's greatest secular democratic country !
