"Article 15"

         5 July,2019 was memorable day for me because that day we all students of English department went to watch movie 'Article 15' .This academic movie screening organised by Dilip sir Barad head of English department mkbu(Bhavnager)and collaboration with'Tanishq  Jewellery'' The movie 'Article 15' is a Indian crime drama directed by ANUBHAV SHINHA and written by GAURAV SOLANKI.

What is Article 15?

            

One question raised in our mind ,why Anshuman Sinha choose the title'Article 15'?The film based on Article 15 of the Indian Constitution, which prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion,race,cast,sex or inspired by multiple true life events including 2014 BADAUM GANG RAPE ALLEGATIONS and 2016 and FLOGGING incident.Article 15 released Theatrically on 28 june 2019 and received critically acclaimed reviews from critics.

Ayushman khurrana played vital role in the movie.He was Brahmin hero and police officer.The movie began with interesting song.

कहब त लाग जाइ धक से

कहब त लाग जाइ धक से

बड़े बड़े लोगन के महला-दुमहला

और भइया झूमर अलग से

हमरे गरीबन के झुग्गी-झोपड़ीया

आंधी आए गिर जाए घड़ से

बडे़ बड़े लोगन के हलुआ पराठा

और मिनरल वाटर अलग से 

हमरे गरीबन के चटनी औ रोटी

पानी पीएं बालू वाला नल से

कहब त लाग जाइ धक से

This song describes reality of our society.Anubhav sinha's film is one of the strongest indictments of caste system in recent cinema.

Foreign return Ayan Ranjan,an upright IPS officer is given charge of the LALGAON police station in the rural heartland of India.In the village of LALGAON,three teenage girls go missing.Ayan's colleagues,Manoj pashwa and Kumud mishra tell him the girls will turn up.But the next morning,when two of them are found hanging from a tree,it confirms that something horrible has happened to them.The film makes the audience really look at how these things play out in society.

Director Anubhav sinha once again showcases his composed assurance by putting forward a socially relevant issue and skilfully blends it with mainstream filmmaking. While his last film'Mulk' focused on Islam phobia by arguing against the,common prejudice;In 'Article 15 'he shows the horrors of caste biased societal norms.Sinha gives a meticulously composed drama which establishes a tenses atmosphere from the start and keeps the viewer engaged throughout.The twists and shocks of this story are delivered with emotionl precision,each one landing like a heavy punch in the gut,making every minute crackle with intensity.

The relevant political subtext is the most interesting aspect of the film.which surprisingly works well as unexpected deadpan comedy.The Interaction between smart and unpredictable character is the main focus and certain situations are rightly peppered with winning wit and humour.The film is shot in the outskirts of delhi, and cinematographer Ewan mulligans has evocatively captured the spirit of these places.The gloomy atmosphere effect of the cinematography goes with the gritty subject of the film.

The good acting intensifies the drama,with Ayushman khurana's remarkable performance making a worthy centerpiece.It's rare to see a protagonist who's so gently human,so righteously patriotic, and so believable.And Ayushman encapsulates all these qualities in his performance with par excellence.Isha Talwar ,who plays Ayushman's wife,performs her role with required restraint and nuance.

NISHAD meanwhile,plays a genius who gave up a bright career to becam a rebel leader championing the cause of lower caste Dalits.He gets very few scenes,but his cameo appearance has a powerful presence.Ayan meets Nishad and try to convince for his help.Nishad said that,

"मे ओर तुम इन्हें दिखाई नहीं देते....

हम कभी हरिजन हो जाते हैं...

कभी बहुजन हो जाते हैं.....

बस जन नही बन पा रहे हैं....

कि जन गन मन में हमारी भी गिनती हो जाए।"

"इनसाफ कि भिख मत मांगो....

बहुत मांग चुके।"

"वो इस किताब की नही चलने देते

जिसकी ए शपथ लेते हैं।"

"मे रायटर बनना चाहता था..और साइन्टीसट भी..

फिर सोचा कि शायद साइंस का रायटर बन जाऊँगा।

कुछ भी न हुआ साला।कयौकि पैदा जहां हुआ वहां पैदा होना ही एक भयानक एकसीडेंट जैसा था।"

Nishad is right Anubhav Sinha draw the picture of our society.we can see that how upper class judge and behave with lower cast people.

Ayan investigates third girl pooja.He find out her in jungle and hospitalised her.The end of the movie reality comes outside that the main police officers BHARMADATT,ANSHU and NISHAL SINGH did rape with girls.Here we can see that how the police system connected with crime.

Ayan said his sir that,

"ये तीन लड़कीया अपनी दिहाडि में सिर्फ तीन रुपये ऐकस्टरा मांग रही थी..३ रुपये...जो आप मिनरल वाटर पी रहे हैं..उसके दो या तीन धुंट के बराबर..उनकी इस गलती की वजह से उनका रेप हो गया सर..उनको मार दिया गया ताकि पुरी जात को उनकी ऊकात याद रहे।"

They rape three girls only the demand of three rupees and then two girls hanged on tree rather than throw in lake because of lower caste people learn that they are not free from to do everything.We know that something happened wrong around us but we don't take voice against them,why?

 I like one dialog of Ayan when he himself go in lake for investigation and he said that,

"कभी कभी ब्राह्मणो को भी उतरना होगा।"

At the end of the movie BHRAMADTT arrested with a 10 year jaild.Other satirical point on language.we see the conversation between Ayan and Shastrijee in hindi and in english both and the conversation of Ayan with Amali who worked in his home.

Overall, 'Article 15' is a gripping social thriller anchored by excellent performance and a strong script that's rich in social commentary with Anubhav Sinha's straightforward and unflashy directorial style,the film proves to be an effective drama.

Thank you.....
