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?
我钦佩于他们这样大胆全面的反思 钦佩于他们对不说不的勇气 也敬佩于对真理的深刻探讨
诸如韩国印度等大部分国家在电影里能够触碰的话题尺度要超出我们太多，这类影片的受众靠别人的作品来反观自身，从而获得某种程度的心理慰藉和释放。与我们内心不可告人的期待基本一致，这也是很多印度影片在我们这里获得好评的心理基础。就拍摄手法而言，印度导演多少年始终固守的抒情手段、渲染技巧都太过陈旧，叙事的节奏与逻辑就好像在做复制粘贴，所以在印度干导演的难点全部来自内容输出方面。一部将政治、女性、教育、司法体制糅合在一起的犯罪片，后半部分密集的翻转让人生厌，尴尬不说，漏洞百出。
印度的电影风格自成一派，如果它没有那么多不必要的歌舞，它还是一部非常犀利的片子
翻转+翻转，指出了很多问题，但感觉都是各种煽动。民众和学生也太好煽动了。
可以剪的更好看。
末世危机，生老病死，对人类是如此残酷；人类的人情世故，不忍心让一个机器去理解和感受；杰夫面无表情，我们却感受到了ta的喜怒哀乐。
末世公路片这个题材都开始了...公路片行走的哲思为内核，我竟然被两个机器人感动到了呜呜呜...白西装白礼帽的老头永远是绅士帅气的呀..阳光下的遮阳伞这一幕，美好的东西竟然让人如此难过😫真是让人鼻酸的故事...
jeff和finch拥抱的时候彻底破防了…老汤就是有这样的能力，总是能让我感动的稀里哗啦。结局其实充满了希望…希望如此吧
多重反转，故事结尾信息量太多，交代起来显得仓促，续作的空间会比较大。
要素过多。。这些内容且不谈其挖掘的深刻程度，能行云流水地串在同一桩案件里形成逻辑闭环已经足够获得盛赞。
能拍敢拍三星起，中间是有点惊喜，但是总之太长了，没必要。
“这就是政治。为了赢，我会玩任何肮脏的游戏，政治家最大的武器知道是什么吗？情感!公众的情感!是疯狂，他们的思想，智慧还有决策都会被这种疯狂推翻。当他们因为这种情绪而忘记一切的时候，我们就能实现统治!”
创作者的技法显然都撑不起表达欲，
3.对公众情感的操控的能力是政治家最大的选票
总有人说，印度电影可真敢拍啊，韩国人可真敢拍啊，我有点怀疑，有没有一种可能，在某些地方拍片子并不需要那么多勇气，不需要克服什么恐惧感，也不存在什么敢或者不敢，人家只是正常拍个电影而已。
2022. 7.11，在这个近期吃瓜，瓜连着瓜，热点一个接一个的当下，结合目前的舆论环境来看这部影片就像是有人替我们喊出了一些声音，被愚弄驯化被操控的人们，睁开眼睛吧，撕开真实世界的一角给你看下，哪里有什么真相？有什么正义？有什么公平？片子结局其实是有点糊了，开场近一个小时的铺垫也稍长，背景音乐也有对点乱剧情，想说的东西也是太多太多，有点溢出，但法庭辩论还原事实部分还是起鸡皮疙瘩的~~~~~推荐一看~~~耐心是美德，尤其是看印度片~~
这种揭露政府阴谋，政治黑暗的电影还是得看韩国，无论是从影片节奏，还是讲故事的方式方法来讲都可以说完爆阿三；但阿三能拍出这样的题材的电影已算是一些国家可望而不可即的事了。当四名“罪犯”被处死，举国上下普天同庆的时候让我深感悲哀，在这鲜花，欢呼和烟花的背后，却是一名被残忍杀害香消玉损的人命，大家却都在欢呼？？？？？
总体观感不如杰伊比姆。反转还是很多，副督察从正义到邪恶再到良心发现，瘸腿律师从出场看着像个正派，说话像个反派，抽丝剥茧还原了副督察给的真相。新闻媒体和警察操纵了真相，程序正义的重要性。
温情家庭片，适合幼儿及爱狗人士。动机是怯弱造成的原罪，从拯救宠物狗上赎罪，成全自己
我们对它呈现出的“尖锐”的赞美仅仅来自于我们遭受的审核制度。
