The Indian Express

Article 15 may have an unsatisfactory element or two, but as a film, it rushes in to tread forgotten grounds. It is what is needed, call it what you will-- a clarion call, a bugle, a shout-out.

Rated: 3/5

The Hindu

A compelling film on the journey of its lead Ayan, but it's one of the smaller characters, Nishad, whose tale now needs to be told urgently as an accompanying piece.

Observer (UK)

The anger that propels the picture towards violence is authentic and the official corruption and collusion depicted are all too real.

Rated: 3/5

Article 15 is a compelling thriller that keeps you guessing until right near the end, putting another feather in Sinha's cap with a remarkably solid thriller that addresses a significant social issue without sacrificing storytelling.

Film Inquiry

Article 15 is an arresting crime thriller that provides a sharp criticism of an ancient social system and its dangerous embedment within modern India.

Not precisely a murder mystery since we know early on who and why committed the crimes. It's more an exposition of rural India's social problems seen from the eyes of a good and educated cop. On the one hand, there's the infamous caste system that apparently still exists —at least, according to the film's narrative — in rural India. On the other hand, the criminal networks—how they operate and how they infiltrate and corrupt the law enforcement agencies. It's meant to teach us a reality lesson. But unfortunately it is not as edgy as a thriller —it lacks suspense.

A taut film but Isha Talwar's intellectual egoism irritates.

WARNING POSSIBLE SPOILER Article 15 is a 2019 pretty interesting Indian film. It is in common use to define Bollywood movies as cringe and chaotic, however, driven by the desire to expand my culture I decided to watch it. (Of course in original language due to the lack of English and Italian, luckily there were English subs). In the complex the direction is pretty good, I appreciated the idea of showing the huge fields of India and the lack of light during the dialogues to make them darker. About the dialogues, they're well written but could be better. I would have expected some scenes with traditional Indian dances, scenes that Bollywood has given us over the years without restraint. The fact that this film has disappointed my expectation only makes me happier. Conclusions: the film is good and is a good way to pass the time, the story is fascinating, well shot scenes and fairly well written dialogues. There aren't action scenes, the entire movie is built around the interactions between the characters. I suggest to pay attention to the dialogues, you could end up learning interesting things about Indian culture. Honour mention to the soundtrack.

Article 15 refers to that part of the Indian constitution that outlaws discrimination on the basis of caste. The title is sardonic since the movie shows the caste system to be alive and well. I'm pretty ignorant of Indian society and politics so I found those aspects of the film a little hard to follow, and things get a little preachy at the end.

Una película decente; la trama está bien, pero es un poco larga y lenta; los actores son buenos y tiene escenas memorables.
