Gandhi To Hitler Movie Reviews

Did anyone mention Gandhi in the title of the film? Seems strange, because Gandhi remains a shadowy figure in the entire proceedings, now and then marching through fields and mouthing soliloquies on nationalism and non-violence before a motley bunch of silent followers. The only link that the film maker establishes between the two disparate leaders is through a couple of letters which Gandhi pens to Hitler, giving him gyan on ahimsa and tyag

Director-writer Rakesh Ranjan Kumar wanted to do two things: He really, really wanted to remake Oliver Hirschbiegel’s Oscar-nominated Downfall, and he wanted to make a statement about non-violence being greater than violence. He’s done that, and more. He has remade the epic German film, shoddily and in parts, and he makes us nod in agreement that non-violence rocks.

Years after his death, Adolf Hitler has been kept alive and breathing by movie makers across the globe. Many a film-maker has made a film on the German leader, who was responsible for World War II.

When a poster of a film proclaims itself to be ‘A Masterpiece on World Peace’, you know there’s going to be trouble. Delusion is natural progression for creative geniuses like Rakesh Ranjan Kumar. I don’t use the term ‘genius’ lightly (okay, maybe a touch lightly) because it takes some gumption to get Raghubir Yadav to play a serious Shakespeare-spewing Hitler and Neha Dhupia Eva Braun. Not only that, every member of the Third Reich

Here at long last is a Hindi film that loves India so unequivocally that it goes and paints the entire world brown. Every single character in Gandhi to Hitler, whether a dreaded Third Reich minister, a marauding Russian Red Army soldier, a trigger-happy French infantryman or a patriotic Azad Hind Fauj volunteer, is portrayed by an Indian actor. What’s more, the film uses what looks suspiciously like the Garhwal Himalayas and the Punjab countryside
