Share


Nag Ashwin, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Kalki 2898 AD, is known for his selective and low-profile presence in the industry, especially when it comes to publicly appreciating others’ work. However, he recently surprised fans and cinephiles by offering high praise for the Sony LIV series Freedom at Midnight—and his words have turned heads.

Taking to social media, Ashwin wrote,
“Late to find this, but what a gem… the casting, writing, music, sets, cinematography… very well done… got introduced to so many historical figures and events I didn’t know.”

This unexpected compliment from a director of Ashwin’s stature sparked buzz across film circles. Known for his visionary storytelling and commitment to craft, Ashwin’s endorsement is being seen as a significant nod of approval.

Freedom at Midnight, helmed by Nikkhil Advani, is based on the acclaimed book by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins. The series dramatizes the events surrounding India’s partition in 1947 with gripping narratives, powerful performances, and meticulous production design. It’s quickly gaining recognition among viewers of historical and political dramas.

With Ashwin’s comment, the show has gained fresh momentum, especially among fans who follow his taste in storytelling. When a filmmaker known for futuristic spectacles like Kalki 2898 AD takes the time to admire a period drama, it speaks volumes. His praise not only highlights the quality of Freedom at Midnight but also bridges interest between genres—futuristic sci-fi and rich historical narratives.
