Article 15

It is a very important film. A film that tells a truth about our so called developing india. We are so busy admiring the bubble created by media, politicians, film industry...that i caused a blindness. A blindness of ignorance. We ignored the major part of our society. We ingored their identity, their rights. We so needed this film. thank you so much to the director producer for article 15

I was going to give full 10 stars.... But cutting two stars because of the production partner ZEE... Because this company is a major player of the game of hate and Aknowledgement credit to UP CM yogi adityanath.. Who is feeding of this social difference and he is a hatemonger!!

This movie is a perfect example of a team of artists taking accountability of the social issues in India. I completely understand that revenue and profit cannot be overlooked in any professional industry, however, social responsibility is critical as well. Artists need to be honest and direct with their audience. I think this movie should be a lesson for those high paid actors who need to be less greedy and utilize their stature to help develop India.

Caste n communal politics by the fascists in India is responsible for the deterioration of my beloved India.

The film is beautifully-shot, superbly-acted and has a plot that is very very disturbing.

Fans of Marshland, Memories of Murder n True Detective S1 will definitely like this.

In rural North India, two underage girls r raped n hanged on a tree while a third one is missing. An honest cop investigates the heinous crime but comes face to face with the brutal realities of caste discrimination.

The investigation leads us thru the desolated fields, filthy swamps, tall weeds, thick tress and abandoned tannery n ultimately we come face to face with the ugly n harsh realities.

Schindler's List's pit scene wher the kids hide in the excreta pit, made me cry. And in this movie, the scene of the girls' bodies hanging on the tree made me very sad n disturbed.

The film is beautifully-shot, superbly-acted and has a plot that is disturbing but a reality still existing in 21st century.

Ayushman gave a restrained but terrific performance.

Director Anubhav Sinha (Mulk) shud be applauded for making Mulk n Article 15. He has dealt with relevant issues which is plaguing India which unfounately no other filmmakers in India is bothered about.

The cinematography by Ewan Mulligan enhances the viewing experience, with the rural landscapes feeling appropriately desolated as if the fields n trees r disturbed too.

There are some high overhead shots that add to the sense of vastness.

Zeeshan Ayyub gave a memorable performance, a scholar turned into a rebel.

His lines before the climax is heart wrenching.

He says in the film that men martyred at the border r outnumbered by those who die cleaning the sewers n no one mourns for them.

Very disturbing that India is the only place where manual scavenging still exists, where poor fellas clean human excreta by their bare hands.

This movie is a must for fans of Mississippi Burning n Devgan's Aakrosh which itself is an unofficial remake of Mississippi Burning.

First things first, this is a very important movie. This is a movie about something that we almost everyday read about in news or our Facebook feed but choose to scroll past. It talks about issues that our politicians pick up at slight popularity and turn it into vote machines. Some of us even join the band. Some of us leave thoughts and prayers and move on.

In a country that on paper and figures is a fastest developing nation, the citizens certainly don't act like it. Article 15 doesn't pull it's punches when it comes to baring these harsh realities. Problem is, instead of focussing on one, it tries to over reach and takes on several issues but only satisfies us with the two main plot, while other things we have been following are kept open. While I understand that writers don't want to give us a happy ending, or make us feel all is well in the end , these sub plots certainly didn't deserve to be wrapped so quickly to reach the climax. It felt like they shot a long movie but had to let go of important scenes to cut down the run time.

Other than that, the writers do a great job setting the characters and the director understands how to tackle this heavy subject. The director and DP work together to shoot every frame with grit and the environment is foggy with low visibility, just as the mindset of people living there.

Ayushman does a great job as usual but this time he is not the best part of the movie. Supporting actors Kumud Mishra, Manoj Pahwa and Sayani Gupta give towering performance. Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub is credited as guest appearance but with limited screen time he leaves lasting impact. It's a shame his character and storyline was cut short.

Background score is superb. Last but not the least, the casting director has handpicked each character nicely.

In the end, this movie deserves to be screened everywhere all around the country. I am enjoying the reviews by trolls who are triggered and claiming this 'work of fiction' a Propaganda.

No words. The film boldly engages all the parties involved in the social justice system. The story could have satisfied viewers even with limited domain, but instead of narrow approach of pin pointing, it chooses to broaden.

Ayushmann is reaching new heights in every other film and other actors also nailed it. And some shots are spine chilling.
