Based on the Man Booker Prize winning novel by Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children spans generations of a family against a backdrop of real events in Indian history. Rushdie not only adapted his magical realist text, but also performed the voiceover narration which runs through the film.
Born at the exact moment when India broke from British rule, Saleem Sinai (Satya Bhabha) is one of many babies born with special powers. Calling themselves ‘Midnight’s Children’, the group have varying degrees of power depending on the proximity of their birth to the stroke of midnight. Saleem and Shiva (Siddharth) are the strongest of the set, born in the same hospital at the same time. After a damaging act from a hospital nurse (Seema Biswas), their destinies become inextricably linked not only to each other, but to the tumultuous transformation of their country.
