A powerful short documentary titled Lead On Gandhi, presented by Kamal Haasan, was released on the occasion of Martyrs’ Day, marking the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. The film, featuring reflections by Gopalkrishna Gandhi, offers a deeply moving and thought-provoking exploration of Gandhi’s ideals and their relevance in today’s world.
The documentary traces the symbolic journey of the bullet that killed Mahatma Gandhi, beginning from its origins in European mines to its tragic destination at Birla House in New Delhi. Through this powerful narrative device, the film draws attention to how violence travels easily across borders, while peace, truth, and non-violence struggle to find space in society.
Rather than being a conventional historical account, Lead On Gandhi reflects on what India truly lost on January 30, 1948. It questions how hatred, intolerance, and division have become normalized in modern times and challenges viewers to rethink the cost of abandoning Gandhian values. The film raises strong moral questions about what happens when non-violence is dismissed as weakness and ethical courage is forgotten.
Through Kamal Haasan’s thoughtful presentation, the documentary connects Gandhi’s assassination to present-day realities, reminding audiences that love, restraint, and truth demand far greater courage than anger or revenge. The film emphasizes that Gandhiji’s philosophy is not confined to history books but remains deeply relevant in an age increasingly driven by conflict and polarization.
Released on Martyrs’ Day, Lead On Gandhi serves not only as a tribute to the Father of the Nation but also as a strong call for compassion, dialogue, and moral responsibility in public life. It leaves viewers with a lasting message that while a bullet may have ended Gandhi’s life, his ideas continue to live on, guiding generations toward peace and humanity.
