I have rewritten this in NPOV. However I do think an extra paragraph that starts off with something like "This film one critical acclamation because..." would not go amiss.

About the "Mahatma" thing - I see it was originally excluded, then added, modified, then removed again. Most folks think it was his real first name. They don't realize it is an honorific of sorts. Even the article on his life here in Wiki is titled Mahatma_Gandi. The real first name, Mohandas, is buried in the article. Until there is agreement on what to do about that, we'll never get it right here. - Bill - 13 Jan 05

Not sure that it's necessary to use his real name when most people know him as Gandhi or Mahatma Gandhi. I'm having a hard time agreeing that using his common name is bad. Cburnett 21:05, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

At the top it says approx 300,000 extras, and at the bottom, approx 250,000 extras in the funeral scene. Somebody want to find out which is the more accurate number? Maybe check the Guinness Book. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 05:10, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Some things should be said about the controversy of this film, especially its bias towards Jinnah, who is depicted as an all in out villain when he too in reality desired a united country, however one with strong protections for minorities (particularly the Muslims). -[[Afghan Historian 17:03, 23 January 2006 (UTC)]][reply]

There should be section about historical (un)reliability of the movie (some material can be found in review [1]) but without growing into yet another war zone, please. Pavel Vozenilek 01:03, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing the link Mackensen. Do you have a source reference, or is this based on the dates he was Viceroy? -- Jeandré, 2006-02-17t11:20z
