Aandhi (1975) was an Indian political drama film directed by Gulzar, starring Sanjeev Kumar and Suchitra Sen. Gulzar, in a brilliant casting coup, brought together two of the most respected artistes and top-notch stars of the time. The film was widely speculated to be based on the life of then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her relationship with her estranged husband. However, while the characters' appearances were inspired by Indira Gandhi and politician Tarkeshwari Sinha, the story's focus was not directly on their lives. Instead, the plot revolved around a chance meeting between an estranged couple after many years, when Aarti Devi, now a leading politician, stays at a hotel run by her husband during an election campaign.

आंधी (1975) के निर्देशक गुलज़ार थे। यह एक राजनैतिक ड्रामा फ़िल्म थी, जिसमें संजीव कुमार और सुचित्रा सेन ने मुख्य भूमिकाएँ निभाई थीं। हिन्दी के चर्चित कथाकार और नई कहानी त्रयी के सशक्त हस्ताक्षर कमलेश्वर ने आंधी की कहानी लिखी थी। निर्देशक गुलज़ार ने इस फ़िल्म के लिए एक नायाब चयन करते हुए उस दौर के दो सबसे सम्मानित अभिनेताओं और शीर्ष कलाकारों को फ़िल्म में एक-दूसरे के सामने मुख्य भूमिकाओं में लिया था। इस फ़िल्म को लेकर इस तरह की बातें खूब हुईं कि यह तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री इंदिरा गांधी के जीवन पर आधारित है। उनके और फ़िरोज़ गांधी के रिश्ते को भी कथा का आधार बताया गया। हालांकि फ़िल्म में सुचित्रा सेन के किरदार के नैन-नक्श और हाव-भाव ज़रूर इंदिरा गांधी और बिहार की राजनीतिज्ञ तरकेश्वरी सिन्हा से मिलते-जुलते थे, फ़िल्म की कहानी सीधे उनके जीवन पर आधारित नहीं थी। आंधी की कहानी एक विवाहित लेकिन बाद में अलग हो गए दम्पति की संयोगवश हुई मुलाकात के इर्द-गिर्द घूमती है। बड़ी राजनीतिज्ञ बन चुकी आरती देवी शहर में चुनाव प्रचार के दौरान उसी होटल में रुकती हैं, जहाँ अब उनके अलग हो चुके पति मैनेजर हैं। गुलज़ार और फ़िल्म से जुड़े प्रमुख लोगों के स्पष्टीकरण देने के बावजूद फ़िल्म राजनीतिक विवादों में फंस गई। यहाँ तक कि विवाद से बचने...
