Saleem.. The fateful child of midnight. Can’t live or die in peace. Tells the story of the midnight’s children. But it’s his version, so be warned. You want to believe him but how do you believe something so outrageous, at times profane and unexpectedly heartbreaking and bitterly hilarious? There is a Saleem in all of us. A casualty, a martyr of the familial, local, national, international circumstances …a powerless and desperate, dreamer, fighter, and loser. His so called powers of mind reading and olfactory spying don’t save him from going down to the legacy he inherits just by taking birth in this heady theatre of absurdity called India. Midnights children is mad, grand, one of its kind. It disturbs tickles thrills leaves you shocked and awed!
