Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
因为有历代宝塚撑场所以跟原著比起来有了更轻松的氛围结尾也更美化，仿佛粉丝福利一般：）
算是新时代生活广告片？太糟糕了吧，反向宣传。（PS：养老金广告互动那画，也正巧昨天看的电影之神才提到；其实我也真真明天有个面试；以上太巧了，如此轻易地虚构飞向现实：）

警惕消费主意，存钱存钱~
这部电影大概会戳中现在很多人的软肋吧，养老不止是电影里人的难题，更是社会以及所有人的。
前半段气死，尤其是自私的女儿，可能以后都会对这个演员有不好的滤镜
叔老了好多啊
不過最後原來是在推廣合租房，轉的有點硬呢
I Don't Have Anything Left in My Retirement Life
有点点好笑但看完又挺失望的，最后轻轻松松的happy ending有点太理想化了。有没有一个严肃的电影来讨论这个社会问题呢？
scan 没有真正无解的问题。婆婆大手大脚，但只是一时空虚，而且很明白事理；老公不是无能，只是暂时失业，还是有人脉有资源，而且会为家人找想。亲父母创业贷款，也不是真的财务危机。女儿未婚生子，女婿也不是真的不靠谱。儿子也能找到工作……就其实没问题。这种化解问题的方法，好像在说：那些问题不是那些问题……但真实的世界，可能就是有问题，那个问题就是那个问题。
“人生百年，只要活着，就得花钱。”“牡丹饼吃不下三个。”“人生百味，挑贵的体会。”
怎么可以用那么欢快的音乐搭配双双事业，女儿怀孕，老人被诈骗的场面，完全不能轻松起来啊！
5. 事情总会解决的
挺有意思的日本片子，一开始以为是贩卖焦虑的内容，但影片中无不体现的正能量一点点治愈了观众。
这才叫真婚姻生育劝退片。列出了非常现实的处境，办丧事，办婚礼，和父母同住，中年失业，哪一个都让人绝望啊。最后的happy ending显得很刻意，现实要比这残酷得多。不过中年再住share house倒的确是个不错的想法。
又是一出和乐融融得家庭温馨剧，有催婚的含义，有对养老的担忧，好像又在说再困难只要家人都在就好克服，总之看着开心也接受教育了，这就是电影成功的地方。“人要任性一点啊”，“好”……
有些理想化 总体还可以 happy ending人人爱
看完觉得我们这代人老去的时候，很可能也会遇到同样的问题，虽然是喜剧，但看完觉得很忧伤啊
还不错，但本以为是看养老吐槽片，没想到是婆媳生活片，老太太和天海都很可爱，使得整个电影也很可爱！（但卖掉房子住群居屋真的要慎重呀！
