Hijos de la medianoche (2012)
En un hospital de la ciudad de Bombay nacen dos bebés: Saleem y Shiva. Su nacimiento coincide con el 15 de agosto de 1947, el mismo día en el que la India consigue su independencia de Inglaterra. Nacer en ese gran momento concede a los hermanos poderes sobrenaturales como el de la telepatía o el de un agudísimo olfato. Ambos son intercambiados por accidente al nacer y sus vidas se convertirán en esclavas de su contexto. La India vivía entonces un momento de ensueño pintado con la esperanza de avanzar y convertirse en un país rico y desarrollado en todos los sentidos y esto mismo les ocurre a los hermanos a quienes, por estar dotados con el don de los poderes mágicos, se les atribuye un futuro mejor del que finalmente protagonizan. Ambos terminarán tan pobres y atrasados como la cultura y el país en el que nacen. Una historia de poderes mágicos, amor oculto y secretos de familia que se desarrolla en medio de una convulsa situación política del país oriental.
