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?
作为一部寻宝片，文戏差一点都行，但必须把逻辑讲圆。中途有一些小BUG我都不提了，但是真佛头在里面，不就坐实了汉奸吗。。。而且，猪脚他老爸出门躲了一辈子图个啥。。。
比较无聊，还好孩子们都很喜欢。
一般吧，进展比较快，很多细节都省掉了，卡司还是不错的。
实在一般般，看过原著，看过电视剧，看这部电影完全代入不进去。
请了这么一票人，交出来这么一个结果，还不如把原来的电视剧重新剪辑一下呢。
无所事事的下午随手点开一部背景是纽约的新片。。挺难看的呃
古董纹路的特效动画很赞，把内里和成色的编排做的非常到位，至于剧情和人物，内地电影市面上的人物设定，逻辑空乏，角色转变分分钟，滥用煽情，其实没啥有新意的地方，改编过多次的小说，到这部电影也仅仅是演员的粉丝狂欢，没啥可说道的地方。★★☆
还是不错的，陪小朋友看最后变成自己看的津津有味，也是挺有意思的了
這個應該是給孩子看的吧…劇情有點牽強 但有狗狗➕一星
及格分的商业爆米花电影吧，可以看个乐。我个人觉得最别扭的地方是前面用了那么长的篇幅试图去洗白过去的罪名，然而到头来兜兜转转故弄玄机之后其实一点没冤枉，看完之后和小伙伴四目相对，感想只能挤出一个“哦”…跑来剧情逻辑的问题，影片最后的感觉像是一个鉴宝+鬼吹灯的大杂烩。其实不能说不好看，整体叙事还算流畅，特效不炫但够，搞笑和煽情元素都充足（感谢葛大爷），几处小反转安排的也凑合吧。但是呢，质感上就确实是差一点。无论是强大到不合理的主角光环，还是除男主之外都草草带过的的角色背景。雷佳音虽然荧幕形象有点被框住了，但是和葛大爷的最后一场对手戏表演很真实很出色的。辛芷蕾也完成度不错。其他演员就有点一言难尽。反正总之是个节奏还可以的爽片，但是也就止步于此了吧，周末个杀时间倒也未尝不可咯。
良两星都给可爱的狗。
真搞不懂 豆瓣连低幼向的合家欢都不放过 明明挺好的电影 非要打这么恶心的分数段PS华人富二代好棒
一个晚上意外看了两部red giant animal的电影，这部虽然脸谱化但真的蛮好笑哈哈
儿童向的简单故事，虽然剧情较低幼但让我轻松娱乐一下还是可以的。另外，《大红狗克里弗》里小朋友们的表演与视觉特效比同样在今天观影的《皮皮鲁与鲁西西之罐头小人》更胜一筹。
是没有看过剧集的原因吗…这种东一榔头西一棒槌的闪现方式是真实的吗，人物和线索出现的方式也太随意了吧。
溫馨輕鬆，舅舅的角色也滿可愛的。劇情不要太要求，就是真人版卡通，不過適合合家歡。
改编自同名儿童图画书，电影自然就会比较低龄了，观赏性并不高。两星。
我要是有这么个狗，我会报警的😂
笑点还是可以，但是没有太多新意，算是标准的剧情模式吧
just a magic.
