Our Prime Minister

Our Prime Minister is a 1957 Indian English language short biographical documentary film based on the life of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent Republic of India. The film was produced, compiled and directed by Ezra Mir. It shows Nehru's daily activities, both his personal life with his family and professional duties as prime minister. Newsreel footage is intercut with footage shot specifically for the film.

Reception

, in 1964, referred to it as "very absorbing" and generally praised the views of Nehru's private life. With its release in 1957, a newspaper said that it "reflects great credit on our Films Division and in particular, its Chief Producer, Ezra Mir... provides intimate shots of Jawaharlalji at work and at play". However, a more critical review claims it is artificial and overly positive to Nehru but does appreciate Mir's technical skill.
