"Mahatma" is Krishna Vamshi's opus on dumbing down Gandhian values to an alienated generation. He negotiates the script reasonably well with a plot set in contemporary politics that pulls many punches, laughs and whistles. Surprise, many things go well for director besides an A-Team of technicians and artistes. Including a smoother landing in the end thats unthinkable. Even if non-violence is dominated by violence, movie rules your senses for 3 hours.
