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

Namrata Joshi

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

Rohan Naahar

The Indian Express

A grim thriller that tackles themes such as sexual violence and social injustice, Article 15 bravely challenges the very foundations upon which Indian society was built.

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.

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.

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.
