ARTICLE 15: This movie is a gripping, realistic crime drama set at Lalgaon in UP. Article 15 is the constitutional law that prohibits discrimination against sex,race, caste, creed or religion. One may find this movie preachy in parts and honestly, the suspense revolving a crime drama is largely missing. Ayushmann Khurrana fits the role of the newly minted IPS officer perfectly. Music and background score are top-notch. The song played along with the opening titles is very catchy. There are a few raw sequences like the two girls’ corpses hanging from the tree, a man from the socially backward class dunking in sewage repeatedly in order to clean the drains etc. It was not clear why the third girl Pooja was let go alive. Barring the flaws, this is a hard-hitting drama delivered with responsibility. If you can digest large doses of realism, then this is the movie for you.
