Nikhil Advani directed this web series with the same title based on the novel ‘Freedom at Midnight’ written by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre on India’s independence and partition. This web series shows why India was divided into two parts. And let’s see how this web series is in this review.
Story:
Due to the many political and religious clashes that took place before the partition of the united India, the country became turbulent. In this order, the British will hold talks with the Congress, All India Muslim League and Akali Dal parties in India to find a solution to these problems. However, what consequences did these discussions lead to? What kind of politics have been added to these discussions..? What has Mahatma Gandhi got to do with these discussions..? You have to watch this web series.
Plus Points:
It clearly shows us what the conditions were like in the country before the partition of the great India. It also shows us the consequences of the political problems at that time. An attempt has been made to tell the history known to many people in a more interesting way through this web series.
In this we are shown in detail what kind of religious conditions there are, not just for political reasons. In this web series we can see Gandhi who is not known to many people. In this we are shown what his decision was for the country. It must be said that Jawahar Lal Nehru’s character is the lifeblood of the web series.
Minus Points:
It must be said that the director has faltered a bit in trying to show the things related to our history. A lot of sensitive issues are raised in this web series. Most of them should have been skipped. Although they tried to show the facts, they could not predict how the audience would receive it.
While portraying such historical moments, the focus should be more on the way of presenting the story rather than the selected story. The screenplay of this web series moves very slowly in order to show the history in more detail. As the pace is slow many scenes bore the viewer. The length of this web series seems to be too long as the issues are covered over and over again. Actors chosen to play the roles of historians also need to do full justice to themselves. But, it is noteworthy that most of the characters in this web series are not liked by the audience.
Technical Department:
Director Nikhil Advani’s effort to show many aspects of history in detail is commendable. But, he should have made this story more gripping. Screenplay should have been taken care of. Music is a major asset for such periodicals. Music director Ashutosh Pathak has done his justice in that regard. Cinematography work is good. The editing work could have been better. The production values are very grand.
Verdict:
Those who want to know the history of partition of India can watch this web series. It contains many things that we do not know. However, the screenplay and length of this web series may not please the audience a bit. Overall, if you want to know the real facts behind our country’s independence, you can try this web series.
