Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar (2000)
A masterpiece and the most honest account of Ambedkar's life.
Every scene of the movie is well directed.The movie shows the true history of our nation which includes the struggle of Dr Ambedkar for the upliftment of oppressed classes.Also,there has not been a greater scholar in our country.The movie acknowledges this fact as well. The brutality of hindus upon untouchables and the denial of their human rights reflects the hypocrisy of hindu leaders who were demamding swaraj. The untouchables were not allowed to drink water from public wells.They were given rooms for rent.Dr Ambedkar himself had to suffer these ignominies when he returned to India after finishing his education in America to serve Baroda state.Gandhi ji whom we all considers a great leader opposed ambedkar's demand of separate electorates.The movie shows that even Gandhi was very apologetic of the chaturvarnya which is the root of casteism.The character of Babasaheb's wife has been also portrayed well.
All in all,the movie enriches our knowledge bank and also gives inspiration.
