6.7 / 10

New Dehli in March 1947. The huge and stately Viceroy's Palace is like a beehive. Its five hundred employees are busy preparing the coming of Lord Louis Mountbatten, who has just been appointed new (and last) viceroy of India by prime minister Clement Attlee. Mountbatten, whose difficult task consists of overseeing the transition of British India to independence, arrives at the Palace, accompanied by Edwina, his liberal-minded wife and Pamela, his eighteen-year-old daughter. Meanwhile, in the staff quarters, a love story is born between Jeet, a Hindu, and Aalia, a Muslim beauty. Things will prove difficult - not to say very difficult - both on the geopolitical and personal level.

Really!? They are showing as if British were nice to Indians (Pak-Ind). Great joke by the way. And showing Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah [who might be the greatest personality in the history after HAZRAT Mohammad (PBUH)] as a raciest and terrorist. This is what you call western propaganda yeah baby. But really can't deny the CGI. Movie looks great. But its whitewashed history. - @Saturday, April 14, 2018 9:44 AM

Always amuses me that Indian based productions (and there are many that are UK funded) are allowed to bar black actors under the umbrella of, "We like to maintain authenticity." But when a period white production is made, funding is rarely given unless black actors are used, even though the original works were devoid of black people? Is it because an Indian Asian actor/actress would refuse point blank to have an intimate (kissing) scene with a black actor?! - @Sunday, January 28, 2018 6:46 PM

Besides the blatant misrepresentations , I see a clear incorrect potrayal of bengalis in Freedom Struggle movies. We,bengalis have contributed greatly to the freedom struggle,hundreds of people have lost their lives. Starting with Chittagong armoury raid to Netaji Subhash Chandra bose,we have given as much blood as punjabis or any other race for that matter. Even now there are so many bengalis in India working in major indian companies contributing to the countrys GDP. Yet the portrayal of false propaganda continues in the form of bengalis conspiring with the british. Anyway,we will continue to do our job and one day we will get the credit we deserve. - @Sunday, December 3, 2017 9:32 AM

The world had just overcome the bloodshed and carnage of World War 2 overseas in Europe and the Pacific ie just 2 years ago. India lost 90,000 brave men fighting the Nazis, Italians and the Japanese during the World War II. God knows how many men fought and died under Subhash Chandra Bose of INA supported by Hitler and Tojo (the true patriot and son of the soil Lion Bose most Indians have forgotten today - You give me blood I'll give u freedom.) Partition 1947 was soon to follow. My great country suffered in 47 which was lowest point in Indian history. Thanks to that pig Jinnah, Muslim league and coward traitor 62 war loser swine Nehru. It is a touchy emotional painful subject the Partition but thank God Pakistan is away from us else we would have been suffering the carnage of terror the Porky's are suffering today. Eagerly waiting for Bose dead or Alive.....!! - @Tuesday, November 21, 2017 3:32 PM

No matter how much we criticize Britishers for the incessant colonian opression of India for 2 centuries, no one will dispute the fact that had it not been for Britishers' divine intervention into Indian peninsula the dark dark dark midieval MUSLIM BUTCHERY of everything Hindu and non muslim would have continued unabated and unrecorded and would have painted the whole peninsula green (with evth Islamic) and made the MIDDLE EAST extend upto Bangladesh and Burma (todays Myanmar). This would have completely wiped out the remnants of the Hindu civilization which was otherwise left to an extent recognisable after Britishers departure. No doubt the ISLAMIC INVASION AND IRON FIST RULE OF INDIAN PENINSULA AND CENTRAL ASIA RESULTED IN THE POGROMS AND PLANNED RELIGIOUS GRUESOME GENOCIDE OF UNFATHOMABLE PROPORTION (read Quran manual for treatment of Kaffirs) FOR WHOLE 1000 YEARS UPTO 1750s ALONE. This is a reality and we must agree unanimously (beyond our illusioned understanding of erstwhile so called utopia, in Indian peninsula before the advent of British) about the fact that when Britisher's left the country they made it sure that they do not leave the peninsula in the same midieval darkness as they had encountered in the beginning (that of dark; systematic and silent muslim oppression). THIS IS THE VERY REASON THEY MADE IT SURE THT THE PENINSULA GETS DIVIDED INTO TWO NATIONS AS MUSLIMS (though in way small nos) WERE RAISING THEIR UGLY SNAKEHEAD FOR THEIR SELFISH GOAL OF A RELIGIOUS DARK DEN CALLED PAKISTAN (and thus masked permission for butchery and conversions). So much so that even during the inevitable partition when the muslims were assured of a separate nation for their religious debauchery, they still butchered thousands of migrating Hindus which ironically met with a way disproportionately less violent exodus of muslims from India (thanks to buffoon called Gandhi). Its high time for India to stop this misinformation campaign running for decades that Britishers' alone were the principal reason for the partition. Looking in the hindsight we must thank them instead for giving the world a curse called Pakistan, which after 70 years of Hindu Independence and 1400 yrs of continuous grotesque Islamic bloodshed/violence across the world, lays bare and naked to the worlds' full monty view about what was actually going on for 1000 long years in dark midieval period. Yes Pakistan is a basket case for complete islamic annihilation world must gear up for, if it wants the posterity to live a civilized life... - @Sunday, November 5, 2017 1:44 AM
