REVIEW:-

               The movie ARTICLE 15 is directed by Anubhav Sinha and written by Gaurav Solanki. This is a satirical movie basis on caste system and political system of India. The leading role perform by Ayan Ranjan ( Ayushmann Khurrana). He is an IPS officer transferred in India, UP( LALGAV)This is not only basis on caste and political system but many true events described in this movie like 2014 Badaun gang rape, Una flogging allegations incident.

               

            The whole movie take place in UP. The movie begin with the travelling of AYAN in Lucknow train. The camera focused on the book "Discovery of India" by Jawaharlal Nehru but here AYAN go on another way that reached the real way of India. AYAN started his duty and heard the news of rape of three teenage girls of village. He starting investigation but BHRAMADATT who try to stop the investigation. Here we see Bhramadatt is a very cruel person who played a trick with people as a member of police officer. Here Anubhav Sinha try to throw light on the system of government. All the police member and Bhramadatt himself believed in caste system except Ayan. One scene is that Bhramadatt gave biscuits to dog and said that perhaps dog aet biscuits the hand of lower caste people that's why dog becomes ill. One character NISHAD , he arrested by police because he was speaking against police. Ayan meets Nishad and try to convince him for his help. At that time Nishad said that,

           " जितने लोग बोडॅर पर शहीद होते हे , उससे कही ज्यादा लोग गटर साफ करते वक्त होते । पर इनके लिए तो कोई मौन नही रखता। "

        "वो  तो इस किताब की भी नहीं चलने देते जिसकी वह शपथ लेते हैं ।

और बाबाजी ने कहाँ था कि जिस दिन बंधारन का सही उपयोग नही होगा उस दिन ये किताब में खुद जला दूंगा ।"

                         Through the dialogues of Nishad Anubhav Sinha draw the picture of our society. One scene is that one person of lower caste, who cleaned gutter. The camera focused on the scene that how the person become outside the gutter and cleaned gutter. Aditi,the second main character of the movie and lover of Ayan who helps him. She belongs to foreign. Through this character we see the contrast between Indian atmosphere and foreign atmosphere. While Ayan called to her at night at that time she walked in garden and here in India Ayan walked on dust on road that was throwing by people. While Ayan asked to the other police officers about this type of behaviour toward lower caste people at that time police member said that,   

                      " ये लोग एसे ही है । इनका ये रोज का मामला है । इनका कुछ नही हो सकता।"

                       We can see that how upper class judge and behave with lower cast people. Further more in movie Ayan investigates third girl Pooja. He find out her in jungle and hospitalised her. The end of the movie reality comes outside that the main police officer BHRAMADATT,  ANSHU AND NISHAL SINGH did rape with three girls only the demand of three rupees and then two girls hanged on tree rather than throw in lake because of lower caste people learn that they are not free from to do everything. Ayan himself go in lake for investigation and said that,

" कभी कभी ब्राह्मणो को भी उतरना होगा ।"

 At the end of the movie BHRAMADATT arrested with a 10 year jailed. Other satirical point on language. We see the conversation between Ayan and Shastrijee in hindi and in English both and the conversation of Ayan with Amali who worked in his home. So the movie ARTICLE 15 is beautiful movie directed by Anubhav Sinha who draw the picture of social as well as political system of India. Here I would like to put one quote by B.R AMBEDKAR,

                     "Caste is a state of mind. It is a disease of mind. The teachings of the Hindu religion are the root cause of this disease. We practice Casteism and we observe untouchability because we are enjoyed to do so by the Hindu religion.  A bitter thing can not be made sweet. The taste of anything can be changed. But poison can not been changed into nectar."

● Review :-

                      The movie 'The Lunch Box' is starting with the famous ' Dabbawalas' of mumbai , the complicated system that picks up and delivers lunches from restaurants or homes to people at work. The Lunch Box Ila prepares for her husband gets delivered, instead to Saajan. Ila eventually realizes the mistake and with the advice of her neighbour aunty ( hide character throughout the movie) living in the apartment above her , writes a letter to Saajan about the mix up and places it in the lunchbox the next day.

                       An exchange of the messages sent back and forth with the lunches ignites a friendship between the two, as they share memories and events of their own individual lives. At work, Saajan is tasked with training his replacement , Shaikh an orphan whose incompetence initially annoys Saajan , who is already socially distant since his wife's death. Saajan and Shaikh gradually get to know each other better and strike a close friendship as well. At one point, Saajan saves Shaikh's job by covering for his blatant mistakes on pay orders and he also become his best man at his wedding with Mehrunissa 

      

                          At home , Ila finds out that her husband is having an affaire and she begins to give up hope on her marriage. In one of the lunchbox letters she suggest to moving to Bhutan ,where the cost of living is much less than in India. Saajan writes back suggesting that the two move there together. Ila then offers to meet in person at a popular food joint, but at the appointed time Saajan doesn't turn up. Upon receiving an empty lunchbox the next day ,Saajan writes back to the dejected Ila and apologises, saying that he did arrive and saw her from a distance but couldn't approach her. He explains how young and beautiful she looked. while he is too old for her and advising her to move on . Sometime later , Ila's father , battling with lung cancer, dies in her mother' s care. After her mother confesses how unhappy her marriage was, Ila decided to search for Saajan but then learns from Shaikh that he had already retired and headed to Nasik. she writes a last farewell message to Saajan announcing that she has decided to leave her husband and move to Bhutan with her young daughter. Meanwhile , Saajan changes his mind enroute to Nasik , returning to Mumbai and going in search  of Ila, who is last seen at home waiting for her daughter to return from the same Dabbawalas , who regularly picked up and delivered the eponymous lunchbox.
