Genre: Drama
- The lead anyhow needs a distinctive credit, and that is very well deserved as well, to Satya Bhabha. Not many would have heard of him, but a multi talented persona. And a complete justice to the role he played of a character who in the end belongs to neither nation but yet keeps fighting. Tumbles all over, but faces life as it comes, never rosy but yet always strong and conjure people up as he keeps struggling to make a family of his own. A person who is beyond any caste and creed and religions. Loved his character to the core, and i guess the only USP of the flick is his role
- Plethora of other artists, none of whom can go wrong with their acting skills. However, i mentioned only a few of them
- The movie is slow, too very descriptive. I havent read the book, but for even a non reader, it may not appeal, and people who have read it are already criticizing
- The fictional part of the movie where they try to show the mystery behind the "Midnight's Children" and the super powers bestowed to each, and never ever properly exposed, barring two known actors, Shreya and Siddharth, everyone else is lost in mist. This is one important portion of the movie, given its length you will not appreciate much to go with the context
- And the very major root of the movie of child swap is beyond my understanding, as to why would a rich mother and roadside lady be admitted in the same hospital, and what filthy reason however will trigger a woman to make a serious mistake. To a movie which is rather serious and dark, fictional stuffs do not add much to any benefit
- Too many characters, and none were given enough light to portray anything significant. They are all as if lost in the crowd
