Maine Gandhi Ko Nahi Mara is a film of an ageing man and his symbolic connection with the father of the nation. Through an engaging story of a retired old man and his daughter in a typical middle class backdrop, the film works out a larger Gandhian symbolism. <em>Maine Gandhi Ko Nahi Mara</em> is a film that connects two disparate events together. <strong>One,</strong> of a small middle class family in present day Mumbai struggling to come to terms with the fact that the head of the family is now suffering from early dementia and <strong>Two,</strong> the assassination of the father of the nation, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
