Article 15: It's time to re-question your right to equality!

We ‘humans’ kept evolving over a millennium and we are still evolving; perhaps we have also lost the consciousness of our ancestral roots. Today, we stand at a junction laid upon the chaos of religion, caste, and race. The lack of tranquility in our society has made us dream for a utopian society which can never be achieved. While our perception of development changes according to our standard of living we tend to forget there are rural heartlands in basic need for civil rights, in dire need of their

As the title suggests, the film focuses on basic human rights granted by the Indian constitution to each and every individual in our society (irrespective of gender, caste, race, and religion). Amidst the stagnant social structure which is being carried down from generations, rape is a common denomination in each and every community and human civilization.

Written and directed by Abhinav Sinha, the quintessential eye-opening narrative is a powerful medium for the characters struggling with darkness in the social structure. The ambiguous scenes and the well-crafted plot make for the best anecdotes of human life. The intricately detailed drama seems to have some loopholes in the direction which can be overlooked as most of the minor details make up for a sensible and the true power of literal art. 

The film has a corresponding intensity and comic sequences. There are scenes which give chills down your spine, meanwhile, there are sequences which make you laugh to your heart's content. It is an amalgamation of detailed narrative supported by exemplary dialogue delivery and cinematic excellence. 

Dissecting each and every element from Ayushmann Khurrana’s performance in Article 15, we need to consider the fact that he is on a different scale altogether. The grace and elegance radiates through his on-screen presence. The overwhelming plot and storyline are his allies. The film proves to be an alibi for his successful and excellent film choice considering his act which has already overshadowed all his previous performances. Article 15 has relatively matured him from a boy to a man. 

Overall, the plot only demands lead character (Ayushmann) but along with him supporting actors consistently entangled themselves to their characters offering the same impact alongside the lead actor. 

Hitherto, we are encircled by the same toxic orthodox thoughts, ideologies, and mindset. Perhaps it's time we finally change over toxic mentality. In the end, you tend to realize what a sad state that we have lived in all these years. There are pre-existing films about social structure and rapes but Article 15 provides a new perspective on social issues and how we plan to tackle them. 

A must watch film in an age where humanity has lost it's roots!
