The perfect characters of ‘Partition: 1947’

Tanveer Ghani as Jawaharlal Nehru in ‘Partition: 1947’ movie

Neeraj Kabi as Mahatma Gandhi

Neeraj Kabi as Mahatma Gandhi. The actor who is known for his performances in films like ‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!’ and ‘Talvar’ definitely goes unrecognized while playing our Father of the Nation.

Tanveer Ghani as Jawaharlal Nehru

Tanveer Ghani as Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India. Actor Tanveer seems to fit the part perfectly.

Hugh Bonneville as Lord Louis Mountbatten

Hugh Bonneville as Lord Louis Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India. The personality and appearance of actor Hugh Bonneville matches aptly with the character of Lord Mountbatten. The above picture is the proof!

Gillian Anderson as Lady Edwina Mountbatten

Gillian Anderson as Lady Edwina Mountbatten, the wife of the last Viceroy of India, Lord Louis Mountbatten. The resemblance between the two is beyond imagination.

Simon Callow as Cyril Radcliffe

Simon Callow as Cyril Radcliffe, the man who was given the daunting task of drawing the borders for the new nations of India and Pakistan.

When creating an authentic period hairstyle or makeup for film, there are surely several things that are needed to be considered. The makers of the British-Indian historical drama ‘Partition: 1947’ have certainly surprised by getting the look of every character right. After creating enough curiosity with the power-packed trailer and songs of this historical drama, recently our attention was caught by some pictures that reintroduced us with the integral characters from the plot of this film. The prime highlight of these pictures is that the resemblance of the on-screen characters with that of the real ones. It’s very rare to see such perfection. Well, we must say it is quite effective and has left us curious and excited to watch the film on the big screen.
