Article 15

Movie- Article 15

Director- Anubhav Sinha

Genre- Dark Drama

The truth is brutal, but it needs to be told. This movie takes us to witness the issues of casteism that plague the villages.High caste, low caste and their different bifurcations are in the spotlight here. The ones with money and power go scotfree while the poor and downtrodden are made scapegoats. A hard hitting film to open your eyes and look at the way things are. I really liked it. Ayushman Khurana has always made the right choices in films. Brilliant acting by all the characters. Do watch this one.

A young IPS officer’s new posting in rural India has him confronting caste disparities and uncomfortable truths in the face of a gruesome crime. When three girls go missing in the fictional village of Lalgaon, two of them are found dead and there is no trace of the third one. Where is she and who is responsible for this heinous act?

Anubhav Sinha’s 'Article 15' is designed like a crime thriller. And what works for the film is that it’s thought provoking, hard-hitting while unflinchingly bringing to light burning social issues.

The performances by an ace set of actors is one of the high points of the film. Ayushmann Khurana has you hooked instantly, belting out a riveting performance as the sincere, determined police officer. It’s an intense, gripping act as he gets under the skin of his character. Other noteworthy scene stealers include actors Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub.

'Article 15' is not a light watch, but it is definitely relevant, compelling and a film that will spark conversation.
