The second season of 'Freedom at Midnight' adapts Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre's book, focusing on India's independence and the subsequent Partition. Directed by Nikkhil Advani, the series humanizes political figures like Nehru, Gandhi, and Patel, exploring their differing approaches and the difficult choices they faced. While praised for its performances and historical context, some reviews note selective depictions and convenient narrative gaps regarding the era's complexities and tragedies.
