Starring Hugh Bonneville and Gillian Anderson as Lord and Lady Mountbatten, and set against an exotic and lavish backdrop, the powerful and epic new film VICEROY’S HOUSE tells the incredible true story of the final months of British rule in India. Its 2017 release will coincide with the 70th Anniversary of the Independence of India and the founding of Pakistan.
Viceroy’s House in Delhi was the home of the British rulers of India. For 6 months in 1947, Lord Mountbatten assumed the post of the last Viceroy, charged with handing India back to its people. Mountbatten lived upstairs together with his wife and daughter. Downstairs lived their 500 Hindu, Muslim and Sikh servants. As the political elite converged on the Viceroy’s House to wrangle over the birth of independent India, conflict erupted. A decision was taken to divide the country and create a new Muslim homeland: Pakistan. It was a decision whose consequences reverberate to this day.

Watched the trailer for this yesterday- can't say I was massively enthused. Cancelled the tickets I picked up previously.
Heat for free cinema tickets regardless!

Wonder if they'll be honest about what Lady Mountbatten was up to and Mouintbattens incompetent idiocy which led to India's partitioning ?
