Synopsis
"Mohandas" is a children's film that explores the childhood of Mahatma Gandhi. Spanning over six years until his adolescence, it depicts the important events that shaped him into the world renown personality that he eventually became. Known affectionately as Monia, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born into a privileged family to a father who was a Minister and a mother who nurtured conservative values. His childhood was witness to an India under oppressive rule by the British Raj. But this was not the concern of a young Mohandas. Instead, as a child he was deeply influenced by the stories of Shravana and Sathya Harishchandra, two Indian mythological figures. He learned about devotion to his parents from one and devotion to Truth from the other. As Mohandas approaches adolescence, this devotion is constantly tested. Being impressionable, he falls prey to temptations and begins to lie to his parents about them. He develops a habit of smoking cigarettes, he steals money, and eats meat, which is against the values of his family.
