The Greatest of All Time

The ending of The Greatest of All Time revolves around the complex relationship between Gandhi and a character known as Sanjay, who might or might not be his biological son Jeevan. Over the course of the story, it’s revealed that Kalyan, driven by guilt over his role in a failed mission that led to Menon—the terrorist—losing his family, helped Menon abduct Jeevan. Menon subjected Jeevan to torturous manipulation, stripping away his memories of his previous life with Gandhi and his mother, Anu. Menon then adopted him, renaming him Sanjay, to sever his ties to his former identity and to use him as a weapon against Gandhi. As Sanjay grew up, he maintained a firm denial of being Gandhi’s son, increasingly aggressive in asserting that he was not related to Gandhi at all.

However, the film hints at a more complicated truth through a sci-fi twist in the mid-credits scene. It is revealed that Sanjay might actually be a clone—one of several generated from DNA that resembles Gandhi, which opens up the possibility that the entire story of Sanjay being Jeevan could be a deception or a case of mistaken identity. The scene also introduces other characters who look like Gandhi and are involved in cloning experiments, suggesting that the real Jeevan might still be in a form of cryostasis or could be a clone himself, leaving his true nature ambiguous.

Regarding the fates of other key characters: Menon’s whereabouts remain a mystery—there’s no definitive answer about whether he escaped, was captured, or was killed, and Kalyan’s fate is similarly uncertain, although it’s likely he was killed offscreen by Sunil, driven by revenge. The film ends with more questions than answers about the broader conspiracy, setting up the possibility of a sequel. The upcoming film might explore the origins of the cloning technology and whether the various clones will be used to continue Menon’s destructive plans. There’s also anticipation for deeper character development, especially for the women in the story, which was overlooked in this film. Overall, the ending leaves viewers pondering whether Sanjay is truly Jeevan, a clone, or someone else entirely, providing a layered and thought-provoking conclusion that teases future conflicts.
