 | | In the hand—written script that was available to me, in three of the scenes, Mahatma Gandhi is seen in only one, while in the remaining two, Gandhi’s fourth and youngest son, Devdas Gandhi and Nathuram, the hero of the play, are in conversation. |
 | | A scene that shows Devdas Gandhi on the night 30th January, shaking hands with his father’s assassin, Nathuram, is more suited to a melodrama in masala commercial Hindi film. |
 | | In such a situation, all Devdas Gandhi could have done was to appeal to governor—general Rajgopalachari on behalf of Nathuram to ask for a pardon and stop the hanging. |
