Baabar Naam Gandhiji' film stars a boy from a real life slum. An orphan, who lives by his wits, thrives by stealing, telling lies and creating havoc with impunity. Parambrata of Kahani fame is the teacher who tries to get his young protege to a big expensive school. "My name is Kencho Das Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi," shouts the urchin in glee. Abandoned at birth, Kencho is stumped when asked for his father's name. He is then shown a 500 rupee note with Mahatma Gandhi's portrait on it and told, that's your father, something he comes to believe.
From an 11 year old schoolboy who loved the movie : "The movie was well-paced and the characters were so well coloured but kept realistic, you would think this happens everyday(which, it doesn't, but the movie makes it feel like that). The fact that Kencho teaches other children to beg and how he disapproves of school at first but by the end he is eager to learn and study is also very nice. .So many heartbreaking moments in the movie and it all mounts up along with many happy moments into an absolute masterpiece of a movie!"
