Except for momentary descent into needless cliche, and a couple of flat notes, Newton stays firmly on course.

Watching the film I was struck by the artistic landmines it could have potentially got trapped in but manages to navigate well.

Most of the film is entertaining enough, but it is a shame that some of it is sacrificed for some boring sentimental bits.

Rated: 3/5

While the pacing of the movie is slow, Newton manages to find a place in your mind and raises some questions about how much do we even know about what's happening in our country while being engaging.

I was expecting more from this film but it was a little disappointing for me. The end in my opinion wasn't as satisfying as I was expecting, nonetheless an average film that is very grounded.

Newton (or Nutan Kumar) is an honest and upright government officer who is sent to supervise elections in Naxal country. Only 76 people in his electoral area. How he goes about making sure he does his duty and villagers with voters cards come to vote is the story. It is a really engaging movie with Rajkummar Rao playing the honest and idealist officer and Pankaj Tripathi playing the battle hardened practical armyman. The rest of the cast is really good as well. Its one of those movies that you end up recommeding to your friends if they know nothng or something about elections, small town India and Naxalites.
