It is decided that the northwest area and the eastern part of India (current-day Bangladesh), both places where Muslims are in the majority, will become a new country called Pakistan. The country is subsequently divided by religion. Indians celebrate this victory, but their troubles are far from over. After the war ends, India finally wins its independence. Gandhi spends much of the Second World War in prison, during which time, his wife dies. He also travels to London for a conference concerning Britain's possible departure from India this, however, proves fruitless. In 1930, Gandhi protests against the British-imposed salt tax via the highly symbolic Salt March. Nevertheless, the campaign generates great attention, and Britain faces intense public pressure. There are some setbacks, such as violence against the protesters, Gandhi's occasional imprisonment, and the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Gandhi agrees, and mounts a non-violent non-cooperation campaign of unprecedented scale, coordinating millions of Indians nationwide. He is urged to take up the fight for India's independence ( Swaraj, Quit India) from the British Empire. In 1915, as a result of his victory in South Africa, Gandhi is invited back to India, where he is now considered something of a national hero. After numerous arrests and unwelcome international attention, the government finally relents by recognising some rights for Indians. Realising the laws are biased against Indians, he then decides to start a non-violent protest campaign for the rights of all Indians in South Africa, arguing that they are British subjects and entitled to the same rights and privileges. In June 1893, the 23-year-old Gandhi is thrown off from a South African train for being an Indian sitting in a first-class compartment despite having a first-class ticket. His state funeral is shown, the procession attended by millions of people from all walks of life, with a radio reporter speaking eloquently about Gandhi's world-changing life and works.

Gandhi exclaims, 'Oh, God!', and then falls dead. One visitor, Nathuram Godse, shoots him point blank in the chest.

On 30 January 1948, on his way to an evening prayer service, an elderly Gandhi is helped out for his evening walk to meet a large number of greeters and admirers. The British Film Institute ranked Gandhi as the 34th greatest British film of the 20th century. The film was screened retrospectively on 12 August 2016 as the opening film at the Independence Day Film Festival jointly presented by the Indian Directorate of Film Festivals and Ministry of Defence, commemorating the 70th Indian Independence Day.

It became a commercial success, grossing $127.8 million on a $22 million budget. It was praised for a historically accurate portrayal of the life of Gandhi, the Indian independence movement and the deteriorating results of British colonisation on India, its production values, costume design, and Kingsley's performance, which received worldwide critical acclaim. Gandhi was released in India on 30 November 1982, in the United Kingdom on 3 December, and in the United States on 8 December. Although a practising Hindu, Gandhi's embracing of other faiths, particularly Christianity and Islam, is also depicted. The film covers Gandhi's life from a defining moment in 1893, as he is thrown off from a South African train for being in a whites-only compartment, and concludes with his assassination and funeral in 1948. A co-production between India and United Kingdom, it is directed and produced by Richard Attenborough from a screenplay written by John Briley.
