I loved this movie, interesting and warm film about a wonderful friendship. I will see it again this weekend.. Yes it’s that good!
Victoria and Abdul is charming film based on real events- Judy Dench: A queen personified and Ali Fazal: Great acting of an innocent Indian attendant. One of best film I have seen this year.
Very enjoyable movie . Some humor and drama
At the start of the film, “Victoria and Abdul”, there is a disclaimer: “Based on True Events, mostly”. This helped to set the mood of the film. Judi Dench, deserves an academy award for her fabulous acting, as angry, crotchety, obese, selfish, shrewd, Queen Victoria. She was leading a life of isolation, fear and distrust until Abdul Karim (Ali Fazil) enters her life. This lowly prison clerk was chosen to go to England to present the Queen with a commemorative coin (although in reality he was chosen to be an Attendant for a Year). The acting, costume design, cinematography and story line were all excellent. This is a captivating story of the bond that developed between Queen Victoria and Abdul Karim and how they learned so much from each other. There are the subplots of prejudices, racism, class divide, snobbery and elitism verses true friendship, respect and trust. Although the Queen learned that Abdul did not always tell her the truth about himself, she never doubted his dedication and desire to ensure her happiness, unlike the members of her family and household servants.
I have enjoy very much the movie.Very good story ,it show you can be very lonely at the top even for a Queen. Good Actors and the roles very well played. Good film to see .:) M-s .C
enjoyable .. surprisingly funny
This movie was very entertaining. The acting and characters were superb. My only regret is I don't know how much of it was based on history and which part was created to embellish the plot. But all in all, very enjoyable.
An amazing blend of comedy and very human moments; Victoria and Abdul showcases the seemingly unlikely friendship between the queen of at that time half the world and an Indian servant. Judi Dench and Ali Fazal shine as the title characters with some of the best lines coming from Adeel Akhtar who plays Mohammad, the forgotten other servant. They in turn are backed up by some of the best British actors that currently tread the boards. I laughed so much and I cried.
