The film Hey Ram, made in 2000, also briefly touches upon events related to the assassination. The Marathi language play Me Nathuram Godse Boltoy (Marathi: मी नथुराम गोडसे बोलतोय) ("This is Nathuram Godse Speaking") was also made, but only from Godse's point of view.
Three books based on Nathuram Godse's life were banned by the Indian government:
- Why I assassinated Mahatma Gandhi, published by Surya Bharti, Delhi, India, 2003. ISBN 1-375-09979-6
- May it Please your Honor!, published by Surya Bharti, India, 2003
- Gandhi Vadh aur Main (Gandhi Hatya Aani Me), by Gopal Godse, 1989.
The actor Horst Buchholz portrayed Nathuram Godse in the film Nine Hours to Rama (1963).

Famous quotes containing the word art:
“Perspective, as its inventor remarked, is a beautiful thing. What horrors of damp huts, where human beings languish, may not become picturesque through aerial distance! What hymning of cancerous vices may we not languish over as sublimest art in the safe remoteness of a strange language and artificial phrase! Yet we keep a repugnance to rheumatism and other painful effects when presented in our personal experience.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“When lovely woman stoops to folly,
And finds too late that men betray,
What charm can soothe her melancholy,
What art can wash her guilt away?
The only art her guilt to cover,
To hide her shame from every eye,
To give repentance to her lover,
And wring his bosom—is to die.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
