3/10
Waste of time and money
12 April 2013
The movie which is based on Salman Rushdie's book "Midnight Children" talks about, the lives of the kids who were born within an hour of India's Independence from the Britishers. The flow of the movie was really fast and at times looked desperate. Loaded with stars from the Bollywood with not a single character felt like really required, the movie still had some hints of comedy in it. Satya Bhabha as Saleem Sinai, Seema Biswas as Mary as Mary, Anita Majumdar as Emerald were the only refreshing part of the whole act. With the Set up of 1947 India and Pakistan, the movie couldn't portray either the economic and political situation nor the effect on the war on the kids, on the whom the movie is based on. All in a all a movie looked lost with no sense of direction, failed to leave any message or even present the real India then and felt like a torture after just 1hr.
