The 2002 Gujarat riots, also known as the 2002 Gujarat violence, was a three-day period of inter-communal violence in the western Indian state of Gujarat. The burning of a train in Godhra on 27 February 2002, which caused the deaths of 58 Hindu pilgrims and karsevaks returning from Ayodhya, is cited as having instigated the violence. Following the initial riot incidents, there were further outbreaks in Ahmedabad for three months; statewide, there were further outbreaks of violence against the minority Muslim population of Gujarat for the next year.

According to official figures, the riots ended with 1,044 dead, 223 missing, and 2,500 injured. Of the dead, 790 were Muslim and 254 Hindu. Dakxinkumar Bajrange sets his story in the same area, 10 years after the events, with the fire of terrorism still burning intensely, as the serial bomb blasts instigated by Yasin Darji and the tension in the neighborhoods where Muslims and Hindus co-exist eloquently highlight.

In imagining a world where Gandhi and his killer learned to get along, Rajkumar Santoshi simplifies differences that remain perilous for India

On 30 January 1948, Mahatma Gandhi’s murder at the hands of Hindu nationalist Nathuram Godse sent shockwaves through the still nascent democracy of India. Reimagining an alternative reality where Gandhi survives the attack, Rajkumar Santoshi’s latest film purports to offer an unbiased debate of the conflicting ideologies between the non-violence advocate and his killer. Such a premise is already attracting its share of controversy: with the rise of Hindutva-inspired violence, many fear that the film is yet another attempt to reclaim Godse’s image as a patriot.

Despite being surrounded by such fervent discourse, Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh is, at the end of the day, a mediocre effort. Deepak Antani’s Gandhi and Chinmay Mandlekar’s Godse do share a startling resemblance with the real historical figures, but...

Mumbai, Jan 16 (Ians) Chinmay Mandlekar, who drew moviegoers’ attention with his chilling portrayal of terrorist Bitta Karate in ‘The Kashmir Files’, is all set to be seen in Rajkumar Santoshi’s ‘Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh’, essaying the role of Nathuram Godse.

The actor shared his experience of working with Rajkumar Santoshi and how the ace filmmaker helped him understand the character better.

“Working with a legend like Rajkumar Santoshi was a dream come true. He has directed such big names in the industry, so it was a surreal experience to be under his guidance. I am a Maharashtrian but he told me not to catch that accent while playing Godse… all these little things helped me portray my character at its finest,” he said.

The motion poster of director Rajkumar Santoshi’s upcoming film ‘Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh’ was unveiled on Tuesday. The video depicts the war of ideologies between Mahatma Gandhi and Nathuram Godse. Nathuram Godse is the one who shot Mahatma Gandhi in broad daylight on January 30, 1948.

It starts off with Nathuram Godse saying that he always wanted to kill Gandhi and would still kill him if he got the chance. To which Gandhi says that a bullet can only kill a person and not the ideas propagated by them as they continue to inspire generations long after they’re gone.

Gandhi then asks what kind of war Godse thinks he is fighting against him, to which Godse says it’s the war of ideologies. Gandhi then goes on to say in the video that to fight an ideological war one doesn’t need weapons but the ideas as the ideological warfare tests the strength of ideologies.

Rajkumar Santoshi is known for his contribution of path-breaking films to Indian cinema. Now, with Gandhi-Godse Ek Yudh, the ace director is returning to the silver screen after 9 years, the film is all set to hit theatres on 26th January 2023.

Samit Kakkad, the director of the recently released streaming series ‘Dharavi Bank’, has called Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi, a “one-take actor”. He was impressed by how well the actor was prepared for his part in the series.

Elaborating on the same, Kakkad said: “It is always a very enriching and fruitful experience when we get to work with actors such as Vivek who are aware of the pre-requisites and inner workings of the craft. He’s undoubtedly one of the hardest-working actors, and with his level of commitment from beginning to end, the process is made significantly simpler. The kind of preparation that he brings to the table is unparalleled.”

Actor Suniel Shetty will be seen playing the role of Thalaivan – a powerful, ruthless and unattainable kingpin of India’s largest slum Dharavi in the upcoming series ‘Dharavi Bank’. To aesthetically portray the part of this 63-year-old villain, the team had to use prosthetics to make him look over 60.

Speaking about the actor’s commitment to this role, Director Samit Kakkad said, “Anna would report on location at 5 a.m. on the dot because it would take him four hours to do hair and make-up with the use of prosthetics.”

“Thalaivan’s character spans across different age groups in the series and to showcase this progression, we had to make Anna age himself because he is so fit that nobody would believe he is playing a 63-year-old without prosthetics.”

“He helms a Rs 30,000 crore empire and his face and posture had to reflect the responsibilities he has and the experiences...
