Mohan Gokhale in Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar (2000) <BR><BR> <br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>This was one of the first films to show Gandhiji in a not very positive light. Basically a biography on Babasaheb Ambedkar, the film carried a complete different outlook on Gandhiji. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>The late Mohan Gokhale played Gandhiji in this film, which represented Gandhiji more as a member of the Indian constitution than a freedom fighter. The verbal conflicts between Gandhiji and Ambedkar were very deftly portrayed in the film. The two had opposing viewpoints on reservation of seats in the assembly. Ambedkar wanted that the scheduled caste be given separate reservation of seats while Gandhiji opined that they should be considered as a part of Hindus. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Director Jabbar Patel had also directed a Marathi film on Babasaheb Ambedkar earlier in 1991. The English version released in 2000, fetched Mamooty the National Award for his title role of Ambedkar.
