Jinnah (1998)
The movie depicts history from a pretty neutral viewpoint
There are two things to such a movie. First is weather you agree with the history as depicted in the movie and the second is quality of the movie in artistic sense. In this regards I think it depicts the history with a pretty neutral point of view, many Indians and indeed many westerners have presented history in such a manner that even a neutral account seems to take a lot of gloss away from Congress leaders like Nehru and hence such remarks appear anti Nehru and anti Mountbatten.
As far as the artistic value of the movie, although its a nice effort, I believe its not perfect although for Christopher Lee it was a job well done. For one thing, a person not knowing much about Indo-Pak independence would be left with many questions. I only hope that this film is re-done sometime in the future when Hollywood is a bit more favorable towards Muslim leaders and makes decent budget movies on leaders and issues relating to South Asia (not just Gandhi) and Middle East.
