The Plot of Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara 2005
The film begins with Professor Uttam Chaudhary (Anupam Kher) living a peaceful life with his daughter Trisha (Urmila Matondkar) and son Addy (Addy) in Mumbai. He is a respected scholar of Hindi literature and a follower of Gandhi's principles. However, he starts to show signs of forgetfulness and confusion, which are diagnosed as Alzheimer's disease by his doctor. As his condition worsens, he becomes obsessed with the idea that he killed Gandhi when he was a child by shooting him with a toy gun at Birla House. He also believes that he is in jail and that everyone is trying to poison him for his crime.
Trisha is shocked and saddened by her father's deterioration and decides to find out the truth behind his hallucination. She visits her uncle Ronu (Rajit Kapur), who tells her that Uttam had a traumatic experience when he was young. He had accidentally popped a balloon filled with red dye on Gandhi's picture, which made his father think that he had killed Gandhi. His father had beaten him and made him repeat \"Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara\" (I did not kill Gandhi) over and over again. This incident had left a deep scar on Uttam's psyche.
Trisha then seeks the help of Dr. Siddharth (Parvin Dabas), a psychiatrist who specializes in Alzheimer's patients. He agrees to treat Uttam and tries to convince him that he did not kill Gandhi by using various methods, such as showing him news reports, testimonies, forensic evidence and even a mock trial. He also encourages Trisha to spend more time with her father and remind him of his achievements and values. Gradually, Uttam starts to regain some of his memories and recognize his family members. However, he still clings to his guilt and remorse for killing Gandhi.
