'Now Delhi Is Not Far Away') by Amar Kumar, Rattan, a young boy, travels to Delhi and seeks to avert the death sentence of his wrongly convicted father by asking Prime Minister Nehru for help. Another 1957 English language short documentary, Our Prime Minister, was produced, compiled and directed by Ezra Mir, who also directed Three Weeks in the Life of Prime Minister Nehru in 1962. Girish Karnad's historical play, Tughlaq (1962), is an allegory about the Nehruvian era.

Sidhant Gupta plays Jawaharlal Nehru in the 2024 web series Freedom at Midnight.
