“The object of this massive tribute died as he had always lived, without wealth, without property, without title or office. Mahatma Gandhi was not the commander of armies, nor the ruler of vast lands. He could not boast any scientific achievement or artistic gift. Yet men, governments, dignitaries from all over the world, have joined hands today to pay homage to the little brown man in the lion cloth, who led his country to freedom.”

Eight Academy Awards, including the Best Picture and the Best Director award winner movie – ‘Gandhi’ is a biopic on the life of this century's most important figure, Mahatma Gandhi and his journey for independence which shaped a nation’s struggle of freedom.

The remarkable director Richard Attenborough’s lifelong dream to bring the true life story of Indian political and spiritual leader to the screen came true in 1982 when the movie was finally completed. One of the most comprehensively thorough biopic ever made. British actor Ben Kingsley won the Academy and Golden Globe for the best actor for portraying the role of Gandhi. The movie reveals how Gandhi, a British-trained lawyer, disowned everything to take up the cause of Indian independence and adopted a policy of non-violence to win freedom but without resorting to bloodshed.

This exemplary movie reminds us how one man’s determination changed the world.
