Attempt this quiz on films based on real politicians

‘Main Atal Hoon’ releases on 19th January

Films about real politicians often give viewers a glimpse into the lives and minds of the people who have shaped history. From dramas that explore the difficulties they face while making important political decisions to biopics that show the rise and fall of iconic leaders, these films can be both informative and authentic.

Notable films about real politicians include Gandhi, which tells the story of Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent resistance to British rule in India and the Tamil movie Iruvar which is a fictionalised take on the lives of M. G. Ramachandran and M. Karunanidhi, two iconic figures in Tamil Nadu politics. These films highlight the important role that politicians can play in shaping the course of history when individuals dare to stand up for what they believe in.
