After watching his Bareilly ki Barfi, I have become a big
fan of RajKummar Rao. An amazing actor, who can still make his audience believe
in Indian cinema otherwise movies like Jab Harry Met Sejal have already
murdered that belief long ago.
Now coming to this movie “Newton”, it is refreshing to see
this kind of a movie where you do not go with any kind of expectation but at
the end get overwhelmed while leaving the theatre. When few brilliant actors like
Raghubir Yadav, Pankaj Tripathi, Sanjay Mishra, Anjali Patil and of course
Rajkummar Rao come together on a theatre screen, you can imagine the fireworks they
will create.
Every actor has done a marvelous job in this film. The movie
revolves around the jungles and tribal areas of Chattisgarh. Rao has been given
a troublesome task of conducting fair election in the Naxalite affected area
where the tribal people had not even seen an electronic voting machine. He
tries his best to do his job be it educating tribal people about the importance
of ballet machine or continuously fighting with the chief of security (played
by Tripathi). The role of Anjali Patil is also worth mentioning; she has a
small part in the movie but leaves an impact in those few scenes.
There are few scenes in the movie which will make you smile
but few on the other hand will make you re-think about our country’s democracy.
Director Amit V Masurkar has experimented with the genre of
Black Comedy with his second film and has done a decent job. Both Masurkar and
Mayank Tewari have made the narrative really smooth.
Surely this is the hard work of the entire team which has
made this film an Oscar nomination worthy. Good luck to the team Newton!!
