1 min read

Released to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Independence of India and the founding of Pakistan, Viceroy's House casts Hugh Bonneville and Gillian Anderson as Lord and Lady Mountbatten, the former installed as the last British ruler of the country, tasked with handing India back to its own people.

Along with political upheaval, the film tells the story of a young couple, Hindu servant Jeet and his intended Muslim bride, Aalia, who are forced to come to terms with a country becoming increasingly divided along religious lines.

Viceroy's House will hit cinemas March 3, 2017.
