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?
彗星来的那一夜+恐怖游轮 太直给了 有点无聊
ps剧透:
妥妥的软科幻，不需要华丽的场景也能讲出抓人的故事，这就是神秘软科幻的魅力；能看得到很多类型电影的影子，不过又能自成一派，完整性高，留给人遐想和回味的空间，不过如果能在类型电影主题之上再突破下可能更好。
男主演技有点可惜，因为燕子一直是燕子，但男主变化无穷，所以其实是很有发挥空间的一个角色。剧情上已经在现有的桎梏中有所突破了，真难为了这些有理想的年轻导演们，事实证明，真想拍出新意还是有无限可能的，哪怕是低成本。
一看就是低成本电影，演员少，场景少，剧情类似"彗星来的那一夜"，但是整体完成度还不错，可以看看。
加油雷神
在抖音上看到导演郑雷自己说只花了12天就拍完了，没办法，钱少，多超出一天就超支了。看完整片，觉得给三颗星比较合适，主要还是我个人对这种风格不太喜欢，但肯定也有喜欢这种缓慢的、神秘静谧风格的人。无论如何，给导演点个赞，希望导演再接再厉。

低成本 高效果 国产悬疑能拍成这样 很欣慰啊
电影的设定其实挺好，《彗星来的那一夜》外壳下的《恐怖游轮》。但是一些细枝末节和过于直白的揭开平行空间的概念还是难以让人进入状态，这女主跟领了剧本似的，一看到另外一个自己马上就说自己是不是到了平行空间也太直接了吧，我还是不太喜欢这种，和彗星来的那一夜不同，没有一层一层揭开谜底让观众有个情绪的缓冲，紧张感和悬疑感也几乎没有，大白话似的剧情，优秀的悬疑片应该是要有一个让观众思考猜测的过程的。
虽然是Coherence兑水，但是摄影剪辑都很专业的感觉。小成本类型片这么拍就对了
1.节奏前期太长？
多人版《恐怖游轮》+《彗星来的那一夜》
在陈思诚成为票房最高导演的时候，我必须给这片子多加一颗星

看片前知道了是copy《彗星来的那一夜》，于是每一步都能猜到了。不过国产小成本，完成度还不错，值得鼓励。
其实挺无聊的，迷你版《彗星来的那一夜》。剧情推动基本靠嘴说，演员演技有待提高。郑雷还是很有想法的，只是现实很骨感，仍需努力。
还行，和彗星来的那一夜的侧重点不一样，这个更倾向于爱情和亲情
100万已经用的很极致了，剧情基本是没有硬伤的，看完可以讨论的很多。除了演员某些部分的表演有些尴尬之外，还是非常不错的～支持我偶像雷神～
总体有些无聊，结尾也不算太意料之外，过于圆满…
