Victoria & Abdul | Welcome to the Peacock Throne
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) welcomes Abdul Karim’s (Ali Fazal) family to her home in England. Fascinated by the black burgas worn by Abdul’s wife and mother-in-law, Victoria asks to see the women’s faces. Her interest in India is evident as Victoria had a detailed Durbar Room and a replica of the Peacock Throne built in her home before their visit, much to the dismay of the prime minister, Lord Salisbury (Michael Gambon), and other household members.
Film Synopsis:
The extraordinary true story of an unexpected friendship in the later years of Queen Victoria's (Academy Award® winner Judi Dench) remarkable rule. When Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal), a young clerk, travels from India to participate in the Queen's Golden Jubilee, he is surprised to find favor with the Queen herself. As the Queen questions the constrictions of her long-held position, the two forge an unlikely and devoted alliance with a loyalty to one another that her household and inner circle all attempt to destroy. As the friendship deepens, the Queen begins to see a changing world through new eyes and joyfully reclaims her humanity.

The mango part gets me every time 😂🤣 “ this mango is off” i knew as soon as the box was opened 🤣😂🤣
Well, it WAS off, wasn't it? Thing was as deflated as an old football! LOL
@@retroguy9494 you could also tell it was overripe and beginning to go bad just by looking at it 😂- we indians know all about mangoes 🥭
@@overcomerbtboj 😂👍
That part makes me laught a lot
What is ours is yours. “Quite literally” 😂😂😂 It is a brutal fact though.
or one might reverse it and say that what is yours is (or was once) ours.
When i leanred about the queen and Abdul i thought it was amazing. What information that is shared it seems the Queen finally found someone she could trust and sawbas a teue friend. And Abdul was kind to open up and be real woth her and kind . Its so sad their story was reduced down nothing and covered up .
yeah, victoria couldn’t protect him anymore 😢 i HATE racism
Victoria always valued having a close confidant she could trust and open up to, first her governess filled the role, then Prince Albert, then John Brown and finally Abdul Karim
If public information is anything to go by, she was the only Empress/Emperor of India to actually take the job seriously and understand its meaning.
As she says later on in this film, at the time of the film's events she has nearly 1 billion subjects. She didn't view Indian people any differently to people from anywhere else she was sovereign, or at least she didn't view them as less than simply because of where they were born - she was their monarch, they were her subjects/citizens, and she had as much of an obligation and duty to them as she did to the British.
Part of me genuinely thinks that if Edward VII had been like Queen Victoria in that way, Indian independence would've come decades earlier and been a lot smoother process.
As it was, Edward VII took after the men in his life, George V took after Edward VII, and it wasn't until George VI that Britain had a monarch as self-aware and open-minded as Queen Victoria had been. Thankfully though, each monarch since George VI has definitely stayed in that mould, and I imagine the next two are in that mould too
@@noahbrown6970 what you are saying sounds like what happened to the Mughals. Originally they were Afghan/Persian but by their third generation (Akbar) they were completely Indian and even lost their Afghan territories.
It was fun to watch Dame Judy Dench and Michael Gambon in this scene together. They played long lost loves in "Cranford" and now she is his Queen. RIP Michael Dumbledore Gambon.
'Good God another one! How many's he got in there?' 'Bloody sod's a bigamist!' 😂
This is by far one of my favorite movies. Judi Dench's role reprisal as Vicky is amazing. This is how you make a movie. Bravo! Encore!
Reprisal? She played Queen Elizabeth I not Victoria
. Watch "Mrs. Brown", her first portrayal of Queen Victoria with Billy Connelly as John Brown...
"Vicky?"
@@thevampirecielphantomhive2342 She did play Victoria in Mrs Brown. 😊
What's the movie name?
guy is talking to albus dumbledore about mug(h)als empire lol
Great comment 😂
That room was absolutely stunning
It's the real room, In Osborne house which is a museum. I didnt used to be though, it was a convalescing home for wounded soldiers. They used to smoke in there and it stained the roof.
Human affection ❤ human relationships ❤ human and human !! We all human born to die. Let’s make this world beautiful with love no matter where we born.
Queen Victoria never witnessed another race in person other than Europeans until this moment
well thats not true
i’m pretty sure there were already black people in europe, i’m from singapore though so i don’t know
@@share_accidentalLike... how?
@@mariamartinusz9699Via sailing ship or steamship or train. Even in the eighteenth century there was a Tahitian man in London.
@@share_accidentalthere absolutely and most certainly were
It's Ali Baba....:)))), what the hell is going here possibly :)) Priceless scene and acting...!
Can't wait to see both actors I love❤
6:26
Girlie is so proud of her durbar room i'm cryingggg
Her granddaughter Sophia became queen of Greece only in 1913
This is the best show on Netflix, and Finally people came to know about Her Majesty Queen Victoria.. She was a nice Human Being…
LMFAOOOO 😭😭😭😭 sure just because she was nice to one Indian man that means she was a nice human being, lets just ignore her absolutely draining india of its wealth & destroying the culture but just because she acted decent to some indian that all can be forgiven.
The same can be said for Ireland & literally every other british invaded colonies
@@shnopemany Empires have subjugated other People's Lands, not just The British. The British also spread Democracy, and left many of their Colonies better after they left. The Communist Soviet Union brutally subjugated Eastern Europe just this last Century, killing Tens of Millions of Christians in the name of Atheism. The Mongols brutally conquered a swath of Land from China to The Black Sea and The Mongols were far more blood thirsty than The British. The Moors seized all of North Africa and Spain to spread Islam, in a ruthless quest for Empire. In many respects, The British were far more restrained than many tyrannical Empires in the last 1,000 Years.
@@shnope just becuz shes the empress doesnt mean she has powers , its the prime minister that has real power. the parliment took power from the throne way before she became the empress
The Glorious Revolution (1688-89) permanently established Parliament as the ruling power of England-and, later, the United Kingdom-representing a shift from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy.
Not to her kids or the people of Ireland
@@shnope Please learn what a constitutional monarchy is lmao, and Queen Victoria was very progressive for her time, she even adopted a African princess after she was enslaved and left for dead. she didn't drain anything or make the government invade any country nor has ANY other British monarch after parliament took power. You people always get upset at the monarchy but FAIL to hold the British government accountable for what THEY did.
I love Bertie.He s so funny and jealous.
Mmm....in my place we have 25 Mango's trees... that mango was " podrido" ( more than saying just " off")
It was just a refined british way of saying the thing was riper than roadkill - also abdul saved the day by saying that and keeping the queen from tasting a mango well on its way to the dump- i’m surprised nothing was said of the sweet stench of an overripe mango 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
"What the hell is going on here, Ponsonby?!"
Mango is off...😂
Guddu bhaiya 😂😂
Iconic Scene
Well it might be me and my 21st century sensibilities, but if you were to claim a title like Empress of India (which was supposed to be the successor of the Kaisar-i-Hind title of the Mughal Emperors) then you’d need to show gestures of accepting and assimilating some part of that culture such as by having personal servants and staff from said area, including them in government, adopting some of their trappings, etc. The Durbar Room seems to be just logical so IDK why the government officials are so shocked.
Abdul originally belongs to Lalitpur Later on shifted to Agra.
Great fun!
michael gambon 😢
Dumbledore forever.

Ahhhhh the story of Aladin is real...... DISNEY'S storytelling..... I knew it. Victoria and Abdul (Jasmine and Abu) I Wil see this movie..... You learn about the history 😉

England a tiny island with very little wealth vs....the imperial Mughal Court....worlds and universes apart
Britain mined 50% of the worlds coal and the River Clyde alone built 25% of the worlds shipping. Great Britain literally powered the entire planet at the start of the 20th century
@@obvious-troll Did they have contracts for that coal? Where were the coal mines?
@@martinvanburen4578 Wales, Scotland, Yorkshire, and the West Midlands which is literally called "the Black country" because of all the coal mines.
@@obvious-troll"Britain mined 50% of the worlds coal "
Right not Britain. These are territories Britain took over. Again, a tiny island against the Mughal Empire
@@martinvanburen4578 Facts dont care about your feelings
Research the Industrial Revolution which started in England and ONLY England
what evil dress these ladies wearing, scary. lol
No one asked

In India the woman might be popular
Since cows are holy
How ?
@@phoenix15_a “cow” is an insult towards a woman in the UK.
That's Lèse majesté!
This is not the "traditional Indian dress" this is the dress of Muslims of India. The majority population is Hindus and they don't cover like that.
But I don't understand who gave her permission to build this in the first place? Dumbledore said calmly
