Description: The Mahatma on Celluloidby Prakash Magdum Synopsis: Mahatma Gandhi, the iconic leader of India's independence movement, remains one of the most widely recognized figures in the world. His philosophy of non-violence and his unwavering commitment to justice and equality have inspired countless individuals and movements across the globe. While Gandhi's life and teachings have been extensively documented in various forms of media, one aspect that stands out is his relationship with cinema.In the book "The Mahatma on Celluloid," author Prakash Magdum delves into the fascinating world of films, documentaries, and newsreels that have been made on Gandhi. Despite being a public communicator par excellence, Gandhi chose not to embrace the then-newest form of art-cinema. He firmly believed that cinema had a negative influence and was wary of its potential impact on society.Magdum's research uncovers many unknown facts about the films made on Gandhi, shedding light on the reasons behind his reluctance to engage with this medium. From A.K. Chettiar's "Mahatma Gandhi: Twentieth-Century Prophet" to Richard Attenborough's acclaimed film "Gandhi," the author explores the various portrayals of the Mahatma on celluloid and the challenges faced by filmmakers in capturing his essence.The book goes beyond a mere analysis of films and delves into the personal experiences and insights of renowned filmmakers who have attempted to bring Gandhi's story to the silver screen.
