20. yüzyılın ilk yarısında İngiliz sömürgesi altındaki Hindistan'da geçen film, bağımsızlık mücadelesi için İngiliz yönetimine karşı "Pasif Direniş"i örgütleyen Mahatma Gandhi'nin hayatından bir kesit anlatıyor. En iyi biyografik çalışmalardan biri olarak kabul edilen Gandhi, 11 dalda aday olduğu Oscar ödüllerinden "en iyi film" ve "en iyi yönetmen" dahil tam 8 ödülle döndü. Gandhi rolünde sinema tarihinin en iyi performanslarından birine imza atan usta oyuncu Ben Kingsley'nin ise "en iyi erkek oyuncu" dalında heykelciğe uzanmasıysa pek zor olmadı. Cenaze sahnesinde yaklaşık 300.000 kişinin yer almasıyla da bir film sahnesinde yer alan en kalabalık insan sayısı rekorunu da elinde bulunduran film, çarpıcı sahneleriyle hafızalardan silinmeyecek bir yapıt. Hindistan bağımsızlık hareketinin lideri Gandhi'nin gerçek hayatından sinemaya aktarılan bu gerçekçi yapım, ülkemizde yıllarca yasaklanmış ve gösterime girememişti..

Cinnet, Alfred Hitchcock'un yıllar sonra sevgili kentine, yani Londra'ya dönüşünü simgeler. Bu dönüş ustaya ilham vermiş gibidir: Kentin son derece başarılı bir fon olarak kullanıldığı, herşeyiyle tipik İngiliz bir seri cinayetler öyküsü izleriz. Film, aynı zamanda Hitchcock filmlerinde görülegelmiş en kanlı cinayet sahnelerinden bazılarını da içerir. Ve bu nedenle kimi eleştirmenlerden "zevksiz" damgasını yer.

Ve film star oyuncuya sahip değilse de tipik İngiliz, birinci sınıf bir takım oyunculuğu içerir.
