Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
看了前面就能猜到后面的剧情 但是说真的 这分虚高了吧 你说说这女明星图啥这么好看还这么有钱
其实核心反而是在各个种族（尤其是移民族裔）的和解，这个充满噱头的故事只是一个表层
挫折它想尽办法要我低头。
尽管是虚伪富商危机公关之下的一场充满戏剧化的温情剧，却也将某种政治正确的种族融洽灌汇在全片始末，可贵也为这轮翻盘增味许多
有些细节是OK的，很多剧情推动还是要从人性方面来推动的。
不咋好看，主要是男女主太没有cp感了，剧情也挺无聊的。
喜剧片能符合逻辑，故事结局又不落俗套，还能博你一笑，就挺成功了
老大不小了，居然还是经受不住这种调动人虚荣心的商业元素的诱惑。唉，不过好在最后两人只是成为了朋友，并没有在一起，这样的结局我还是很满意的。
结尾文森特瞎话张嘴就来的水平真是绝了！1:o4:2o开法拉利那黑妞儿挺漂亮的。2o22.6.23于田村山南路

感受到了人物传记片的拍摄难度。真实的人总是极为复杂多面的，生活的不同阶段的质感可能也很难不割裂。真实的人物经历可能有很多用戏剧语言来看突兀无铺垫的地方。整体来看，无论事件安排还是人物情绪情感的流动和个性焦点的呈现看起来很多断裂的地方，但大多数观众或许也可以自行脑补，毕竟是8090后都很熟悉的大明星。
那个小姑娘，有很努力在演，但是还是太嫩了，梅姐浑然天成的气场完全演不出来，经常会出戏，但是也还能忍。
还好两人没有发展成俗套的感情，要不然实在说不通，成年人异性间的纯友谊更令人向往。很暖心的片子，不乏girl power的体现。
虽然之前就看见很多评论说消费哥哥和梅姐，但是看的时候还是泪奔了。电影其实拍的很流畅，梅姐的魅力太大了，特容易融入进去和她产生共鸣。
这次又来了个杠上开花，放大了当下最流行的少数族裔奋斗、加入中年危机、家庭的温暖、外加一段超越语言的国际黄昏恋，再来点若有若无的男上加男私家侦探二人转。
能把影像和电影放在一起，真的不错。张国荣和梅艳芳一起演出的那段真的好哭
就是太美化日本渣男了，塑造得好像结婚，不太懂但是很无语。杨祐宁丑男又塞进来干嘛。
温情家庭喜剧。不烂尾，不狗血。还好。
想念你们。
比较普通，没啥亮点，男主太老，和女主不太搭，换个帅气点的大叔效果可能会更好。故事情节推动比较仓促，而且有些莫名其妙，本想最后男女主可能会在一起，没想到男主居然和女n号约会，最后又和女主打情骂俏，能不能给个明确点的收尾？！整体剧情比较俗套，打发时间用可以看看。
