This movie is about Mahatma Gandhi's family - the father of our nation. It tells the story of Gandhi's eldest son Harilal Gandhi, who rebelled against his father and carried the identity of his father like a curse around his neck. Its a story of a principled father and an unfortunate son.

Being rebelious natured, Harilal converted to Islam and adopted the name Abdullah Gandhi. He also sought to remarry after the death of his first wife Gulab (played by Bhumika Chawla). All this prompted Harilal think that his father would disown his own son. Even though Harilal later converted back to Hinduism, he lived the life of a derelict, roaming the streets of India like a beggar and finally drinking himself to death.In Harilal’s words: 'He (Mahatma Gandhi) is the greatest father you can have. But he is the one father I wish I did not have.'
