Chadha presents a wonderful representation of Indian culture and history (along with her staple Bollywood style with some song and dance).

Enthuse
And so we're offered, on the 70th anniversary of the Partition (give or take a couple of weeks), another film about how brown suffering makes nice white people sad. The cynicism is well-earned.

Ultimately, Viceroy's House might be worth a visit just for certain tasty details.

"Viceroy's House" works, but mainly as a historical refresher on the 70th anniversary of Indian independence. As drama, it's a reminder that truth is sometimes more affecting than fiction.

It's handsome, important, and moving in places, but it just isn't enough movie for the subject matter.

"Viceroy's House" is appropriately somber. It feels like the wheels of history had been put in motion long ago, and a few well-meaning people on all sides aren't enough to stop them.

There's something pleasantly old-fashioned about "Viceroy's House." It feels like a Merchant Ivory period piece posing cultural questions within a safely cushioned environment. There are no guessing games, but also very little subtext.
