It's not often that you watch two Hindi movies
one after the other and then exclaim "Super!"
well I saw "Article 15" followed by "Super 30"
and simply loved both of them!
"Article 15" is a tough subject, a sensitive one
that can slip into melodrama or hate
but Director here gives it you straight, without frills
without taking sides, just the way it is in 2019
in real time rural India ! man hating man,
interactions, decision making, all based on caste loyalties
It's as if nothing much has changed since the medieval times!
Ayushman Khurana is gaining reputation
as one synonymous with good cinema
if he is in it, can rest assured of a wonderful film
And when in combination with ace director Anubhav sinha
and competent co artists , you can't help but exclaim "Wow"!
Vikas Bahal directed "Super 30" already had edge
being a true story of protagonist
untiringly working to mold IIT Material
out of poor children, from impoverished backgrounds
giving up his own comforts, making big sacrifices
to see his dream mission come true!
Great watching Hritik play Anand Kumar
Simple, natural acting with Bihari accent
minus the usual dancing and stunts
of the average Bollywood hero!
He is ably supported by the others
Pankaj Tripathi, Mrinal Thakur
Virendra Saxena and all artists
who played the aspiring children!
Loved the first half a trifle more though
as it's sans the filmy clashes in second half
Are Hindi movies coming of age
moving from chocolate romance
to real life issues?
can't say for sure of how the wind will blow
yet "article 15", "Super 30"
other recent offerings do show lot of promise!
Coming back to my movies
watched back to back
a pleasure watching them
it is thumbs up all the way!
