REVIEW ON “Midnight's Children” movie by Deepa Maheta

 Here is my review about “Midnight's Children” movie by Deepa Maheta

 This movie is directly adopted from booker prize winning novel “Midnight's Children” by Selman Rushdie.


Saleem Sinai, the narrator of Midnight’s Children, opens the movie explaining that he was born on midnight, August 15, 1947, at the exact moment India gained its independence from British rule. Now nearing his thirty-first birthday, Saleem believes that his body is beginning to crack and fall apart. Fearing that his death is imminent, he grows anxious to tell his life story. Padma, his loyal and loving companion, serves as his patient, often skeptical audience.

But if we look at this movie from post colonialism. And as historical movement present with the novel form. In this novel thematically concept of book is dealing with the history of India before independence and after independence. In this movie presented condition of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh Salman  Rushdie selected historical event independence movement of India but with fictional aspects like; Historiographic metafiction, science of human, magical elements.


This connection between projections of the mind and reality are called upon again later in the novel, specifically in how Saleem recreates events in order for them to coincide with his life. Saleem imagines that he is the central figure in India’s history, and that projection clashes with the reality that he must alter dates and places in order to place himself within India’s most momentous occasions.

Midnight:-
The prime minister of India, who believes in magic and mysticism, has heard about the children of midnight. She uses Shiva to capture and torture Saleem into telling the government the names of all the children of midnight. Once they are all compounded, the prime minister has all the young men and women sterilized. She knows surgery will cause them to lose their powers. She also doesn't want any of their children rising up and trying to take her down with their own powers.

Abracadabra:-
Because Parvati had died when Saleem was captured, he and Picture begin raising Parvati's son by themselves. They make a trip to Bombay and visit a nightclub so Picture can challenge a snake charmer to a match. Saleem finds out that the food he's eating is made locally, so he goes to the pickle factory. When he arrives, he is greeted by his nanny, Mary Pereira. She takes care of him and his son while the sickly Saleem writes his memoirs.
