A masala movie with the caste angle thown in
Given the stellar star cast, I had high expectations from this movie. I had expected it to delve into the caste dynamics of the Uttar Pradesh.The movie had a decent start but soon it turned out to be just another masala film wherein every person in the galaxy is against the rise of a woman and would try his/her best to bring her down. Movie touches on the issues of caste system but very superficially in the form of set pieces which one might have already seen in many web series last year. I wished they could have show something real like article 15. The rise of the protagonist to the seat of CM is shown to be so easy it that would make you want to try your luck in the next state elections.
Acting wise Manav Kaul is given very little to do, Saurabh Shukla is restrained and sleep walks through the role , Richa Chaddha is good in parts but her weird wig and fake UP accent would distract you.
Watch article 15 again instead.
score 5/10
