One of the burning issues of the country is the caste system.

Despite relevant laws and provisions, one can't deny that the discrimination of various communities is there in our Country.

The political class takes advantage of these conflicts and it further creates a divide. Very few films in Bollywood have plots that actually revolves around caste, shockingly.

ARTICLE 15 is the story of a good cop trying to solve a caste-related crime.

Ayan Ranjan (Ayushmann Khurrana) is an IPS officer from Delhi who has been transferred to a village named Lalgaon in Uttar Pradesh as punishment posting.

As soon as he joins duty, he comes to know about a case involving three missing girls from the Dalit community in the village.

the missing girls - Shalu and Mamta - is found hanging on a tree. The third girl, Pooja, is missing.

it ws clear that Shalu and Mamta had been repeatedly gang raped and then hung on the tree. Ayan attempts to solve the case and find Pooja....What happens next forms the rest of the film.

Story is very hard-hitting and deserves to be told. It is loosely inspired by events like the Badaun rape case and Una flogging incident.

screenplay is engaging and keeps one hooked from start to finish.

1 half is good & In the second hour however, the film gets quite complicated...The climax is quite impressive and the film ends on a fantastic note.

ARTICLE 15 is a hard-hitting film that raises some important issues related to complex caste system of our Country.

'Article 15' is not a light watch, but it is definitely relevant, powerful.
