This story is about love and the different classes. It shows how one can triumph over adversity.

this is more a slice of life movie where you see the relationship between Queen Victoria and Abdul. It is very slow and plodding and it shows that when a person is not useful, they are thrown away, even friends. kind of depressing. good cinematography and acting is good, but story was boring. this is a rental

Being a fan of British royalty, welcomed this straight-forward story about the Queen Victoria's last friendship with her Indian friend, Abdul. The film also depicted Victoria's strength and stance against the adversity to her friend, from her own son and advisers. She was Queen and did what she very well pleased. Well acted and beautifully filmed. A touching story about a friendship that endured in spite of all odds to crush it.

this fillm has some excellent acting involving both the main characters in the movie. It also has high production values of the sort usually associated with a PBS Masterpiece series. The blu ray itself seems to be a solid and attractive presentation of the film. An interesting historically based (with some dramatic liberties of course) story.

Was a gift for Grandfather who enjoys historical movies regarding the English occupancy of India. The movie is based on the relationship that Queen Victoria had with one her indian servants. Overall it was well written and worth a watch at least once.
