Directed by Anubhav Sinha, article 15 is a very important film that gives us an honest peek at the age-old caste system in India. Sometimes a film comes along where you don't talk about the opening day collection but it makes an impact as an important piece of cinema. The film is about three girls who are missing in the village of Laalgaon. I had no doubts about Ayushmann Khurrana playing the lead role. He is the one who holding the entire piece together and has done a fabulous job. The remaining cast led by Sayani Gupta, Kumud Mishra, Manoj Pahwa, Mohammed Ayyub, Nassar, Ronjini and many others have delivered their full and some of the finest performances on screen. The film is named after Article 15 of the Constitution of India, which prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or birthplace.While not based on one specific event, the film is inspired by multiple real-life cases involving crimes driven by caste-based discrimination, including the 2014 Badaun gang rape allegations. Thus, the viewers can expect themselves to be glued to their seats for the most part and can also expect a nail biting end.A movie that shouldn't be missed. It's dark, gritty, real, in your face and disturbingly brilliant!
