Gandhi Godse - Ek Yudh is a 2023 Indian-Hindi language alternate history film written and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, and produced by Manila Santoshi. The film stars Deepak Antani and Chinmay Mandlekar in the lead roles.[2]

Gandhi Godse - Ek Yudh was released in India on 26 January 2023, coinciding with the Indian Republic Day. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its performances (especially Antani's and Mandelkar's), visual style, cinematography, story and music but criticised it's screenplay.

Premise

Godse holds Gandhi responsible for the partition and misery of Hindus. He shoots Gandhi on 30th January 1948 but Gandhi is miraculously saved and pardons Godse. After breaking his ties with The Congress, Gandhi begins his Gram Swaraj Movement to inspire villages towards self-reliance. Meanwhile, the system highlights Godse`s writing and manipulates public sentiment against Gandhi whose interference has created ruckus within the government. This leads to Gandhi`s arrest which he insists on serving with Godse. They have multiple debates and arguments, even confrontations in prison. Will this war of ideologies resolve their differences?

Production

Casting

Santoshi confessed in pre-release promotions that it was hard to receive investment for such a large scale film with a potentially controversial subject. He added that it was only after composer A. R. Rahman accepted to do the film, investors started showing interest, and the film may not have been made if Rahman said 'no'.[3]

Filming

Filming was started on 20 September 2020 and finished on 6 May 2022, taking place in Bhopal and Mumbai.

Music

The music is composed by A. R. Rahman in his third collaboration with Rajkumar Santoshi after Pukar and The Legend of Bhagat Singh. The director-composer duo had not collaborated for over two decades, though Rahman was approached for Khakee and he did not sign it due to scheduling conflicts.[4]

Controversy

Dispute had erupted over the context of the film and Santoshi had sought police protection after allegedly receiving threats.[5]
