Mike McCahill Guardian We may not witness an eggier film all year. Rated: 1/5 Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Its timely messages become muted amid a kaleidoscope of settings, characters, brusque action scenes, blunt speechifying and wan romance. Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times "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. Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Kumar Shyam The National (UAE) The Gandhi Murder is a must-watch film for history buffs, especially for those interested in the Partition of India.
