'Saaransh' was a landmark in Anupam Kher's career. Everybody, including him, regarded that as the role of a lifetime. Anupam Kher's character and performance in 'Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara' disproves the theory that an actor can never get another role that matches up to the best of his career.

The film is superb; very well-made. But let's quickly add that this is no entertainer. Actor-producer Anupam Kher and director Jahnu Barua's 'Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara' makes you cry and think a lot, and also makes you laugh in a couple of scenes.

Professor Uttam Chaudhary (Anupam Kher) is a retired Hindi professor who lives with his daughter Trusha (Urmila Matondkar) and son Addy (Addy) in Mumbai. His other son Ronu (Rajit Kapur) lives in the U.S. Uttam is suffering from brief periods of forgetfulness. His condition is worsening slowly. He is diagnosed as suffering from a brain disorder, Dementia. He is also suffering from guilt of having killed Gandhiji. This guilt resurfaces as his memory is fading.
