Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh Trailer Released, Offers Compelling Plot

On Wednesday, the trailer for the upcoming movie Gandhi Godse: Ek Yudh by director Rajkumar Santoshi was made public. The trailer offers a compelling glimpse into the terrifying period following India's Partition, when racial unrest brought a young nation to its knees.

The movie also shows us a parallel reality in which Mahatma Gandhi survived Nathuram Godse's gunshots and began to change the man who had attempted to kill him through conversation and a smile. Actors Chinmay Mandlekar and Deepak Antani portray Nathuram Godse and Mahatma Gandhi, respectively, and there is an uncanny resemblance between the two.

Gandhi and the things he stands for are opposed by Chinmay Godse. He picks up a gun in preparation because he thinks that using violence to stop the man is the only option.
