Gandhi's years in South Africa.

Sinekatalog’s take

Shyam Benegal's biopic follows the young Gandhi in South Africa as he becomes a leader of the Indian community. Rajit Kapur is convincing in a calm, thoughtful film that traces the origins of his philosophy of nonviolence.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
