Midnight's Children, a silver screen
adaptation of the legendary work of the celebrated authour Salman
Rushdie is an amazing piece of artistic excellence coupled with
content.
For those who have read the novel, I
tell that its not possible to fit the vast 600 pages into two and a
half hours of screenplay. Deepa mehta as the director and Salman
rushdie who adapted his own book into a movie screenplay have taken
up a huge task and one has to say, they succeeded.
For all those who did not read the
book, it is a novel written in the style of magical realism, with
history of India and Pakistan during and after Independence as the
background. He narrates to us the ups and downs of the nations while
talking about the lives of a set of children born in the same hour of
the nation's birth. It is a fusion of history and imagination, a
romance of his dreams with his experiences in post colonial India.
