His mother tells him his target i.e. to unleash the freedom of his countrymen.

Star performance

Sophie Steven performed the character of Bamba Muller pitch perfect to make your tears. Shabana Azmi - Supremely Powerful Amanda Root - Unforgettable Jason Flemming - Phenomenal Satinder Sartaaj - Creates suspense David Essex - Crisp Leanne Joyce - Ok type

What’s there?

The movie shows some of the greatest mansions, views of the kingdoms such as Aden(Yemen), Nashik(India), Moscow(Russia).
Queen Victoria's hairstyles, costumes, her activities.
History and fantasy both are combined same time When the Koh-i-Noor appears the real glitter of the movie comes up.

The movie was saddening at the end whereas people expected a happy ending.
Strong script but the makers have presented it in average type.

Verdict

Those who are fond of history, no doubt it will fascinate them, but as an entertainment lover, you won't be satisfied as it slows down and increases complexity.
