Viceroy's House (2017)

In the heart of New Delhi, India, March 1947, the grand Viceroy's Palace hums with anticipation, its five hundred servants bustling like bees in a hive. They are preparing for the arrival of the newly appointed and last Viceroy of India, Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, brilliantly portrayed by Hugh Bonneville. Commissioned by Prime Minister Clement Attlee, Mountbatten is thrust into the monumental task of overseeing the transition of British India to independence. As Mountbatten, accompanied by his liberal-minded wife Edwina (Gillian Anderson) and his young daughter Pamela (Lily Travers), steps into the palace, he is unknowingly stepping into the eye of a storm. For the palace is not just a seat of power, but also a theatre where different sides fiercely clash in the face of impending change, turning the mission of peaceful transition into a political tightrope. Under the same ornate roof, a personal drama unfolds. Deep within the palace's staff quarters, amidst the tumultuous winds of change, a romance blossoms. Jeet Kumar (Manish Dayal), a Hindu, finds himself drawn to Aalia Noor (Huma Qureshi), a Muslim beauty. Their love story, like the nation's journey, is fraught with obstacles and complexities. "Viceroy's House" is a vivid tableau of a nation on the brink of independence, where the political and personal intricately intertwine. It's a narrative of love, duty and conflict, where the grandeur of the palace provides an enchanting backdrop to the struggles of nationhood and the power of love.
