Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?

快看睡了，复古怀旧一个点都没get到，非常无聊的美国奔跑爱情梦。有多期待就有多失望，没打一星是因为勉为其难没睡着。
9.4 青春期的小情绪配合着五彩斑斓的色调和PTA绝妙的运镜快要从屏幕中洋溢出来了，事实证明PTA就算拍小鸡电影也会是杰作！2021年度最佳！
What a dream. Just a little bit self-indulgent as the nostalgic elements are given too much and too often，sometimes making the expression over the impression， and the instant sensation over the enduring feeling
8，并不是低幼，纯粹的欢乐和善良，和近几年的raya，trolls一样，为这个越来越分裂的世界带来一丝光亮，CG小马宝莉和各种小动物真的萌翻了，歌声太美，小艺的变装歌超好听。ps菜头这种邪恶妈宝军阀真的适合这种真善美的电影吗
挺有意思的儿童游戏，儿童成人化，第一场戏就能看见大结局，没想到要经历这么多的波折啊。
虽然不是一部John Hughes式的青春片，但结局浪漫得让我想起『十六支蜡烛』。
虽然不是最好的PTA，但是看得非常轻松舒服，PTA一贯的摄影质感和绿木不错的配乐，挺喜欢。有几个长镜头运镜，整体还行，挺喜欢水床前的戏，后面就开始散了，但是结尾奔跑那里居然把我拉回来了很多，还是不够紧凑，或许是对时代的怀念，要素过多，奔跑元素也过多。一开始看海报没觉得女主多好看，影片里面还挺迷人的。
3.5，前面屡屡看不下去，看到后面反到被男女主角吸引住了，长相无论多么不搭，chemistry还是有的。看了花絮才知道原来有这么多熟人这么多梗，感觉像是导演拍给自己开心的怀旧作业。女主角这是照着《纽约一个下雨天》里面艾丽范宁打造的人见人爱大美女人设啊……
最后，小公马真的拉。
middle of nowhere. but not tiresome.
就是说pta拿出这么个糖水小片儿来真的有些糊弄了，敢说糊弄真的是剧本就不太行，腻歪加墨迹。男女演员也选的真不太行，就完全除了美学风格，都很不pat。
没太get这个故事的好，很私人的表达方式，男主角小小年纪确实把油腻劲儿演出来了，也很神奇。有些桥段令人不适，但有些镜头也有些浪漫，但是That's all。女主很好，很有魅力，西恩潘那段很惊喜。
他们都有野心，都嫉妒，都深爱，于是互相伤害。闲散的情节裹在爱情的外部，把人物关系分段，每一处几近奇幻的段落都为人物关系带来新的问题，发现对方的弱点或自己的弱点。女性极目远眺后的温情回望，男性的自尊中成长。好在用不那么精致，真实的情节描写了爱情关系里人内心的细处。
我已连续三天强迫自己看下去，终于看到了15min
我是brony所以打五星。片子告诉我们一个简单的道理，要怀疑历史书
美国风情画一样的影片质感，味道对了。但是过于刻画女主的际遇和成长，简单的让男主一帆风顺，创业有成，是不是某种意义上的偷懒呢？
兜兜转转，最终有情人终成眷属。
PTA，一个大家都说好但我get不到的导演，他作品里的爱情生活味太浓了，我根本感受不到爱情。感觉更多的篇幅是在写“青春”吧！
故事框架是继承自《私恋失调》的，不过比《私恋失调》散了许多，故事的时间线被大幅拉长，视点也不聚焦于主角一个人，而是分散给了男女主双方，所以现代性下的紧凑感与压迫感大不如前。虽然主角同样是不能很好感知自己需求的无头苍蝇，但在这里被窄化到了青春期的迷茫，而不再是弥漫于整个现代性社会中的紧张
