This crash course on India's freedom struggle tests your patience - in a good way

Even the runtime of a conventional Hindi film is down by nearly 30 minutes. In such a scenario, it takes guts, first, to make a historical show, which goes into the nitty-gritty of the years leading up to India's independence, and second, make a slow-burner with no big names attached to it.

Nikkhil Advani, who delivered the masala film Vedaa this year, takes the directorial reins for Freedom At Midnight. Based on the book by the same name, written by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins, the show is divided into seven episodes of about 40 minutes each.
