Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 11/22/2024
2.5/5
Sprawling yet pacy, the Nikkhil Advani series brings to life the story of India, and Pakistan, which came into existence at that stroke of the midnight hour immortalised in the haunting words of Nehru. Go to Full Review Devansh Sharma Hindustan Times 01/30/2025
...Nikkhil has gone from rom-coms to gritty dramas, and his latest work shows how crucial his voice is to lend poise and prestige to the progressively volatile streaming landscape. Go to Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV 11/22/2024

The series manages to put the nuances of competing interests and moral dilemmas in the transfer of power in the context of human lives and clears some of the dust that settled on painful historical events. Go to Full Review Devesh Sharma Filmfare 11/22/2024

Sharang L @Scribe187 03/31/2025 Doesn't break new ground but some deft storytelling and a bunch of committed performances (Zakaria, Chawla) make this a worthwhile watch. See more Flixster F @RT77094268 12/17/2024 There's hardly anything interesting that I didn't already know. And while there's much that I didn't know, it's not interesting enough. The clash between the leaders and the compromising way to the freedom isn't appealing. I don't know how 'Iron Man' Sardar Patel was in real life but here he's more of a comedian. The performances were better compared to the story. See more Read all reviews
