IMDb profile

Aandhi is a 1975 Indian movie allegedly based on then prime minister Indira Gandhi's life. It was directed by Gulzar. The movie is noted for its songs composed by Rahul Dev Burman, written by Gulzar and sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar.

The movie was not allowed a full release as the similarity to Mrs Gandhi's life held it up while she was in power. After her loss in the 1977 elections the ruling Janata party cleared it and had it premiered on national television.
