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?
看了之后还是感觉那么的热血沸腾，先烈们的悲壮被展现，艰苦却不后退，为了祖国，为了子孙后代，前进！
小裁缝演员选的不错 小弟弟长得好可爱
3+ 奔着红灯区女王来的，大女子爽剧。拐卖妇女何时有能真的解决呢。
感觉挺好看的，没那么多想法。花朵无论在什么场合它都是香的。印度的舞蹈真的是把所有关节都运用上了，婚礼上舞娘们坐在舞台上跳的那支舞蹈真的很好看。
老美可以拍兄弟连，我们也可以拍我们的英雄七连！！
她不见得有多么远大的目的或逻辑严谨的说辞，但她为保护的群体做出了正面的贡献，这就是真实的力量吧。
太血腥，太残忍，可是这就是战争本来的属性啊。第七穿插连，实到一人。。。泪目啊。
比起《望乡》那种通过妓女遭遇批判社会的现实主义电影，印度人的逻辑很奇葩。
影片中部分观念还不能完全接受，但大部分性工作者几乎处于被剥夺一切的境遇这一点是无可争辩的。为什么嫖客没有人人喊打，为什么学校盖在红灯区附近却毫无益处，为什么所有的责难践踏都落在一群身不由己的人身上？
做奴才虽然不幸，但也不可怕，若从奴隶生活中寻出美来，赞叹、陶醉，就是万劫不复的奴才了。
自己站起来的勇气
国师又拍新片了，终于又回到了近代题材。支持一下
我喜欢这张海报，但不喜欢这个故事。
结局应该表现的痛心疾首一些，更能表现军事落后的严重性。我看了冰血长津湖还是不太清楚具体进攻路线，结局有点懵，时间没对上以为战争结束了，其实打了快三年。
编剧: 兰晓龙 / 黄建新
20220517 连阿三都敢拍出女权维权了，1000卢比也太便宜了，还长这么好看！
题材虽好，但是从电影的角度，剧情整体过于“大女主爽片”的套路了
梅生死的时候难受死了，希望世界上没有战争。
2022/2/13. 啥都不用说，热血！士兵们之所以保家卫国，真的就是一腔热血啊，辛苦辛苦…平河被坦克碾真的是痛…最后火烧哥哥融雪救回弟弟很巧妙…
印度🇮🇳都拍了，我们呢？？虽然是真人真事改编，但是人家总理也是能见到，并且还赠送了玫瑰。有美化成分，但是至少维护了一份该有的权益。我們正常女性的思維裡，還有哪些不自知裹小腳的地方呢！！！在古甘演講的時候，也在思考是不是普通人對妓女這個行業太多歧視而不自知。
