A deeply personal project, as it tuns out - Gurinda's grandmother fled to India at Partition and was eventually found by her husband in a camp, thus she becomes Huma Qureshi, the Muslim who cannot marry Hindu Manish Dayal, giving the conflict over India and Pakistan a personal angle; much as the involvement of Lord and Lady Mountbatten (Hugh Bonneville and Gillian Anderson) who themselves are betrayed by Machiavellian schemes and Michael Gambon.
What a stupid fucking mess (politics, not film, which is well made). Simon Callow, Om Puri, Lily Travers, David Hayman, Simon Williams. Co-written by Paul Maydea Berges and Moira Buffini. Shot by Ben Smithard in Panavision, music by AR Rahman and edited by Valerio Bonelli and Victoria Boydell.
