Hence this three-hour tramp through his life is very talky and slow and deliberately unlovely as Gandhi rises from the campaigning lawyer clamouring for the rights of Indians in Apartheid swept South Africa to an uncompromising figurehead. His passive-aggressive stance in the face of religious conflict and the rigours of both British colonialism and the Indian caste system, consummately investigated by John BrileyвЂ™s intelligent script, has none of the stirring action or belly-fire of a Lawrence Of Arabia or a Ben-Hur. The subject itself, the godlike Mahatma, that shrewish guru whose only worldly trapping is his pair of wire-rimmed specs, offers up a staggering accomplishment but an unassuming mythology. For all the momentous history (the opening funeral cast just about everyone in India) and striking moments of human intimacy on show, his film is often a doze, lacking the full conviction of a good epic to cut loose. A tricky principal amongst the shrill intensity of the movies. Anyway, the film reached a deserved consecration, raising eight Oscars (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Editing and Best Costume Design).The enduring sweep of David LeanвЂ™s work owes much to his poeticising of historyвЂ™s more mundane features into the descant of high adventure, whereas Richard Attenborough dedicated and finely tuned biopic of that beloved nappy-clad pacifist, avers grandeur in search of truth. The soundtrack is signed by Ravi Shankar, but its far from the impact and relevance of other soundtracks. In fact, this film could almost be a documentary about Gandhi and the life and society of the British Raj era. This realism efforts found following in costumes, filming locations and sceneries, creating an environment that transports us easily to the time and place of action. An effort partially forced by the absence of cheaper techniques, but compensated by giving a striking realism to the film. The crowds that come in some scenes, such as Gandhi's funeral, are made from real people. No complex special effects or anything like that.

The film is a classic with classical techniques.

The film catapulted him to stardom in all fairness, after a great character reconstruction work (physical, mental and psychological) along several stages of his life.

An icon of passive resistance and nonviolence, Gandhi is played brilliantly by Ben Kingsley, who managed to live up to the role, giving the character a great moral force. He is portrayed as an idealistic, utopian, combative and determined to achieving his objectives in a way that he considers appropriate, without resorting to expedients that he knows are not right. The film is quite honest in the picture that makes of the life and struggle of Mahatma Gandhi, father of modern India.
