Midnight's Children - Great piece of History

Though the book has been there with me for sometime I am yet to read it but before could do that the movie released and decided to see the movie first being a movie freak :) So I really can't compare to the book but surely this one leaves us thinking was Indira Gandhi obsessed with astrology like most of the Indian politicians are? It left me thinking that surely we never had a single good woman leader none of them really thought of any good for this country but their selfish interest of power and the corrupted Gandhi family is one of the worst of all shamelessly looting our country since independence maybe before that as well every bloody political party has done that. I remember watching Parzania in 2007 and losing all respect for a certain respectable minister - Mr.Narendra Modi , can never forgive him for the homicide he and his political party had created, the development of any state cannot be made over innocent people's lives to hell with the best developed state. Anyways no point of discussion as till we change our mindset all these nonsense will keep happening in this incredible India. Coming back to the movie I am sure the movie must have been very close to the book as Salman Rushdie himself was very closely involved in the production of the same. Terrific acting by everyone be it Satya Bhabha, Rajat Kapoor, Shahana Goswami ,Seema Biswas, Shriya, Siddharth, Soha Ali Khan, Shabana Azmi,Rahul Bose,Kulbhushan Kharbanda must say great job done by the casting director.. The story being powerful has made this one a powerful but yes it is a bit lengthy so if history has been your favorite subject I surely recommend this one....I liked it for sure...
