Всичко за този филм

The last King of Punjab, Maharajah Duleep Singh's kingdom was one of the most powerful and prosperous kingdoms of the 19th century before it was annexed by Britain. Placed on the throne at the age of five, he was robbed of his legacy by treason at the hands of trusted courtiers. He was then torn away from his mother and taken to England by the British at the age of fifteen. While in England, he was introduced to Queen Victoria, who took an immediate liking to him, calling him The Black Prince. Meeting his mother again after thirteen years, the Maharajah is awakened to the realities of his former life in Punjab. He then begins the arduous journey to regain all that was lost, and re-embrace the faith of his birth, Sikhism. As the character of Maharajah Duleep Singh evolves, is torn between two contrasting cultures - his royal ancestry from the Kingdom of Punjab as its last King, set against his upbringing in the UK as he embarks in a new journey of exile, away from his mother. Duleep Singh's lifelong journey to regain his identity, dignity, and Kingdom took him across the world but his struggle was not met with success. He never won the chance to set foot again in his own land of Punjab.(CBFC/DIL/2/63/2017-MUM)

Slow, boring and tedious. Didn't realise it had subtitles but actually there are very big, easily readable subtitles when English is being spoken aimed at the deaf I think because it even put description of random sounds. Then when the subtitles came for indian speach the white print was tiny and mostly unreadable. Because 70% of the film was in Hindi, that meant I lost most of the story because I could only read about a third of the Hindi subtitles. My tv is reasonable size so film would be useless on a small screen. I resorted to watching on zoom but that was no better. After fighting sleep through boredom we gave up half way through. Don't bother with this unless you use binoculars and maybe are hard of hearing.

Very nice movie and true story.i hope all audio Hindi,english,punjabi in same file so then no need to buy anothe file just one is ok

This movie is really beautiful story about history of old India times and Sikh people. Very deep, very heart touching and very emotional. I really recommend it to all who love history of old time and who want to gain so knowledge about Indian culture, religion and relations with Britain.
