Viceroy's House (2017)
Directed by Gurinder
Chadha this film based on real events stars Hugh Bonneville, Gillian
Anderson, Manish Dayal and Huma Qureshi. In 1947 Lord Mountbatten and
his family travel to India where he is to over see the decolonisation
of the sub continent.
Taking a large subject
like the partition of India in one film is a bold choice that
ultimately falls short here. Unfortunately historical accuracy is
questionable an the idea of a Churchill conspiracy unsupported. I
think this probably would have worked better as a television mini
series as there is really not enough time to explore all the players
and issues in the proper depth.
2/5
