7/10
Excellent biography and historical tale

This movie was superb...it showed Jinnah's transformation from a man who was the champion of Hindu-Muslim unity to when he decided to ask for Pakistan in Muslim-majority areas of British India. It also gives due credit to Gandhi and Nehru and the three of them explain their role in independence from the British. Other interesting aspects of the movie is the affair Nehru had with Mountbatten's wife, which is important since it was a way for Nehru to influence Mountbatten.

However this movie will be better understood or appreciated by people of the subcontinent. I am afraid regular moviegoers might find the material too myopic to a certain place and time.
