This movie deserves Oscar best ever movie made in india.

Based on real incident.

Must watch.

Very first frame. Over a dozen people are released from prison. Outside the jail, an officer asks them the caste they belong to. He sends the upper-caste people (Goundar and Vanniyar) back home. But, those from the Kuravar and Irular tribes are made to stand aside. A group of policemen eye them only to put false cases on them. The reason? They belong to a lower caste, have no money and are treated like orphans.

It hits you hard. The first sequence preps you for what's going to come ahead.

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 film is heavy on atmospherics, with the top notch cinematography (Ewan Mulligan) and background score adding to the mood. The feel is grim, gritty and grey often bringing a chill to the bone with palpable tension in the air. The images - some provocative and uncomfortable stand out, like the one where a man goes deep into a drain to unclog it and emerges soaked in the filth or the top shot of a group of policemen conducting a search in a swamp with their torchlights. The dialogues leave an impact. And the director brings out subtle nuances through his characters and setting which add to the essence of the narrative. The film's storyline, interspersed with powerful and poignant moments leaves you with goose-bumps. The narrative definitely keeps you on the edge, but there are times when it feels a tad overstuffed as the layers, political intricacies and a multitude of characters seep in. And at times the pace dips.

But certainly, 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, in a short but impactful role as Nishad.

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

I know that some rumours going around about this movie... That Shivay is not good movie... there is reason behind it that ajay devgan stand against Pakistan that's why Bollywood peoples decided to spread bad rumours about his film... Some critics rated 1star out of 5, but this is not true.... just go and watch and then decide.... I've seen this movie and I liked it... Director Ajay Devgan has done great job. The only problem I had was with the dialogues which at times felt over the top, certain conversations were uncalled for. A few scenes could have been toned down, they were unnecessarily exaggerating Shivaay's presence. The story wasn't something you haven't seen before however, the execution was thrilling

Watch this movie for never-seen-before FX & action (interesting ending and great music are bonus
