About Freedom at Midnight Season 1
The series begins in the year 1946. The Muslim League, fronted by Mohammad Ali Jinnah (Arif Zakaria), is demanding a Sovereign Pakistan. India is on the brink of Independence, but it also faces the painful and dreadful possibility of the Indo-Pak Partition. Director Nikkhil Advani’s period drama sets this tone as soon as it opens. Thereafter, the seven episodes, each with a duration of approximately 42 minutes, depict an episode from the nation’s past that shaped its future.
