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?
美剧美影里小镇青年若在大城市里受挫了，最后选择的结果总是回到故乡，和家人团聚。和国产剧非常相反。
健身教练和越狱男主是一对可太震撼我了。尘封旧梦被唤醒。其他都是啥？
合家欢的圣诞gay电影，能拍出来就已经心满意足了，要啥自行车啊
合格的节日专配爆米花电影🍿️。演员选得很合适，也很有爱，温馨浪漫。
还行啊，评分好低，多年朋友成情侣的剧情真不错
蛮蠢的typical Christmas romcom，而且无法get到男主的选择，男配帅又温柔有气质，秒杀两个男主。当然影片结束后所有人都很幸福，只有单身又没有男友的我很受伤。
看了那么多圣诞电影，今年这部入选个人心中最佳。圣诞电影嘛，就不要执拗剧情要多跌宕起伏，温情美好就足够了！Michael还是当年可爱的样子，让我惊喜的是Luke，真是从兄弟姐妹的时候就被他帅到，黑人小哥也是非常帅，雪地拍照哪里直接把我融化了。
就很无脑甜。and Nick is really a ten!
同志也值得一部世界上最烂俗的圣诞电影，甚至非常合家欢，配曲都很加分，因为喜欢直弯好基友所以私心为男主加一分
这并不是“主流形态”各个细节也没有起到任何消解刻板印象的作用 都要2022了网飞还拍出个这尼玛离谱
关于在圣诞前夕独自在住处投屏观看这部电影 我感到很幸福🥰
好多帅哥嘿嘿🤤嘿嘿🤤（Nick再高一点点就更好了🥰
cliche but sweet，好久没看到Micheal urie了欸
就很久没看这种假日定制合家欢，确实是能暖心的
一起看的室友给了5⭐️，我不理解，我给-1⭐️
玩命给老黑男主洗脑，全家助攻俩0在一起～何必呢？剧情真的是无语，老黑倒是挺帅的，肌肉男人好好～反倒男主很惹人嫌。
毫无惊喜的圣诞假期限定同志小甜腻电影，家庭氛围是真好，故事是真“平稳”，好几年的“姐妹变男友”的设定也太想当然了，“拍拍屁股”想出来的剧情，前半段还好，后边全家撮合就…嗯…
看的很开心，很幸福，就够了。评分太低了，大概4分还是有的
强行让luke当炮灰，就让两0在一起吧，请james独自美丽，你值得更好。剧情后半段太刻意，太心疼James了，被当做工具人，明明 james才适合当老公，nick就适合当姐妹，奈何编剧作孽，非要姐妹磨 b。但作为国外春节贺岁合家欢片，就不要太严格了。
虽然不是在圣诞看的但假装是在圣诞看的还是会让我很开心
