"Article 15"
Department of English
Mkbu(Bhavnager).

                 

         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.....

Thinking Activity : Aristotle vs Plato

  Here is my answer of thinking activity which is given by our professor Dilip Barad sir(mkbu bhavnager)

  #Aristotle and Plato's objection#

                    

 Q-1   How far do you agree with Plato's objection to freedom of expression and artistic liberty enjoyed by creative writers?
   

        Yes I agree with Plato's objection to freedom of expression and artistic liberty enjoyed by creative writers.Freedom of expression is more important for creative writers.If we want to live freedom of life then we should follow Aristotle's views,But plato is right because there are so many T.V. Serial,movie are creating bad impressions in our mind and society.

         

         There are some T.V serials and movies  like khatroke khiladi, Balveer, Spiderman etc...in all things people try at their home and that is not good for them.Sometimes it's dangerous for people.This all imaginative thing's dangerous for both children and young people.

Q-2 with reference to the literary texts you have studies during B.A. Program,write brife note on the text which follow Aristotelian literary tradition.

                  

     During my B.A.I have study many tragic drama.Shakespeare's tragedies like" Hamlet" ,"Othello"," king Lear",and" Macbeth".These are the four great tragedies follow the Aristotelian tradition.In which during my B.A. I have study tragic play "Othello"

 

 Aristotle's design of the classic tragedy one can observe the artistic quality of Othello that brings out a clear understanding of the tragic hero.

Aristotle defines tragedy as,
     

     "The imitation of an action that is 

serious and also has moving                     

  magnitude,complete in itself;

       In a appropriate and pleasurable

       Language...in a dramatic rather   

       than narrative from ;with 

       Incidents arousing pity and fear,
       Where with to accomplish a 
       Catharsis of emotion"( Aristotle).

  This are unique qualities which can be found in Othello.The story begins with the main character and protagonist Othello,an African General for the Venice Armey .Othello has just married his  wife Desdimona .

Throughout the play Othello is challenged by Iago who works under him.Iago provides the drama;he represents the antagonist who is destined to ruin Othello and his marriage nothing good becomes of this play. By the end of this tragedy both Othello and Desdemona are dead. The drama that is revealed throughout stair the audience and their emotional senses.As idicated Aristotle's definition, The drama remains "serious".

       " A catharsis is a purging or

         Cleaning of tension....in a 
         tragedy this is often a moment
         Of revelation."

Q-3 with reference to the literary texts you have studies during B.A.

Program,write brief note on the text which did not follow Aristotelian literary tradition?

        Shakespeare definitely followed some of Aristotle's ideas,but not all of them or not consistently.

                  

              

        Also in play like Romeo and Juliet. It does not even attempt to follow the Aristotelian tragedy.This tragedy is about a man and woman deeply in love with one another.Their love could be interpreted as though is a long stretch.Their love is attacked by external forces however.The tragedy in this play is not tragic flaws within the protagonist but in the circumstances.Romeo and Juliet and other such play end with either the death or permanent separation of the lovers.

Q-4   Have you studies any tragedies during B.A.Program?who was the tragic protagonist in those tragedy?

              

In my B.A .Program.I studied many tragic play.In which"Othello" is my one of favorite tragic play written by William Shakespeare.First preformed around 1604.Othello is protagonist of this play.we feel all these things like humartia,tragic flaws,eror of judgment.In the end of the play Othello kills his wife Desdemona.He don't think he doing action than he came to know that his wife is innocent than he felt guilty and he kills himself.We feel pity for Othello.

   

    Q-5  Did the plot of those tragedies follow necessary rules and regulations proposed by Aristotle?

   Yes the plot of those tragedies follow necessary rules and regulations proposed by Aristotle like chain of cause and effect principle of probability and necessity, harmonious arrangements of incident,unity of action etc...For example,the plot of Hairy Ape as harmoniously built.We can observe the chronology of scene.As the first action takes plays at fire room and the ultimate setting is the cage of"Gorilla"that describes the struggle of Yank.

                                                   Here  we conclude with all things one perspective Plato's objection and other perspective Aristotle views are right,because in this age people want to freedom and live creative life.

Thank you......
