He also spent time in British prisons.My mom and I watched this on the 75th anniversary of Indian Independence.I think the movie was well done and visually beautiful. The acting was superb, including that venerable actor, Om Puri. Gillian Anderson was great.I think it captured both the joy and the tragedy of the time. The love story added a personal element.People can debate about how historically accurate this movie was. However, the book it is based on is well regarded, at least from what my uncle and other relatives have told me.Of course, there were some historical details that were glossed over or omitted, because the movie is less than 2 hours long and some time was spent on the love story. However, people who want more details can read the book. My mother, who was born in British India and who was a child during Independence, enjoyed the movie. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2018* I watched this two nights in a row because it was such a touching and well acted movie. That is saying something for the quality of the film, as I rarely ever do such a thing. Beautifully filmed and directed. Every one who starred in it was superb. Though most independent films rarely make it to Academy Award nominations this certainly has its share of excellent actors. The two leads, Hugh Bonneville and Gillian Anderson really became their roles. Gillian even took on the posture of Lady Edwina. I hardly knew it was her. However, the shining stars of this movie were Manesh Dayal, who recently played in "The Hundred Foot Journey" and the young Indian woman who played his love interest. The story is so poignant portraying the macrocosm and microcosm of the impact of partition on the Indian people. I learned a lot that I didn't know about this time period. The director and producer, also directed and produced "Brides and Prejudice" and has proven her skill as a director many times. I highly recommend this film. It is so relevant to the problems in the world today and demonstrates the terrible prejudices that religions harbor against each other; as well as the arrogance of governments who think nothing of disrupting the lives of millions in other countries for their political or economic gain. Also, it should be noted that the Sikhs who are neither Muslim nor HIndu and have always quietly practiced their religion without prejudice against any others, were caught up in the violence and murdered simply because they lived in the areas of conflict. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great story. Beautiful costumes. Brilliant acting. *by N***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2022* The CD arrived on time and played perfectly. (Some do not.) I would not in the least call this this another "Juliane Fellowes night sope." (Critic should at least learn how to spell "soap".) First, it's not by Juliane Fellowes", as it was written by Paul Mayeda Berges, Moira Buffini, and Chadha (also director). Fictional, but based on true events in the book, "Freedom at Midnight" by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre, LarryIt's a movie well worth watching not only for historical purposes, but because the setting and costuming is wonderful to see. Gillian Anderson does a fine job stepping out of the shadow of "X-files". Though the film is stated as fictional it is based on some very true (and sad) events of the British partition of India. The movie reflects the racial and religious tensions between Muslims (the minority), and the Hindus. It is a story well worth understanding the time when, In August 1947, British India won its independence from the British and split into two new states that would rule themselves. The new countries were India and Pakistan. East Pakistan has since become Bangladesh. This was a very important moment in history.
