The many faces of Mahatma Gandhi

Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006)

The maker: Rajkumar Hirani
The man playing Gandhi: Dilip Prabhalwalkar

Lage Raho Munna Bhai presents Gandhi (Prabhalwalkar, every bit as warm and gentle as Bapu is to millions) and his teachings in a delightful, contemporary way.

In the film, the Father of the Nation connects with the golden-hearted rogue Munna (Sanjay Dutt), and through him communicates the power of nonviolence and honesty.

Hirani manages to combine apparently self-conflicting ingredients -- idealism and fun -- to make this hearty entertainer a resounding success.

The film not only took the box office by storm, but also sent a wave of 'Gandhigiri' across the nation.
