Maharaja Krishnakumarsinghji Bhavanagar University
Department of English
On 5/7/2019 film screening comittee and Dr.Dilip Barad sir organised film screening of Article -15 movie for academic purposes. And I am again thankful to Tanishq Jewels for sponsoring this event.



Article -15 Movie
As we know literature is the mirror of society. And movie also part of literature. But it is equally difficult to present reality to the society. So most of film maker avoid that kind of film. Article 15 film director Anubhavsinha presents the issue of casteism in the(Indian)society very well. I can't say it is new problem for our or other countries. Because if we study history of most of countries then we know that every where class and caste conflict present in nowadays.

Article 15 is bollywood film directed by Anubhav Sinha. The film is written by Gaurav Solanki and Anubhav Sinha. And protagonist role play by film star Ayushmann Khurrana.
The film is based on Article 15 of the Indian constitution, which prohibits discrimination on ground of religion, rase, caste, sex or place of birth.
Language analysis-

Through this film Anubhavsinha present how Dalit people suffered from casteism. Film start with this song

Bade bade logon ke yaar
Bade bade hai raaz
Bade bade logon ke yaar
Bade bade hai raaz
Apna kya hai hum to hai
Mamuli phande baaz
Are mamuli mamuli kya
Phande baz phande baz
Bade bade logon ke yaar
Bade bade hai raaz
Apna kya hai hum to hai
Mamuli phande baaz
Bade bade logon ke yaar
Bade bade hai raaz

If we analyse the song words then we can think which kind of movie script. And we define social structure of our (Indian) society.
Bade word use for who belong from high caste family.



In the film we can't show hero's family if we deep think after we know that which type of characters through represents society's structure.Because when we analyse year ago film there we see full family picture and after we analyse few year ago film there we see hero and heroine parents characters also then in this picture we see only hero and his lover other characters are like mainer within Gaura character.

Literary analysis-

In the film main character as police inspector Ayan Ranjan(Ayushmann Khurana), he is recently posted to Lalganj. Ayan character show bahmi caste. Here we show power structure like this -

      It is type of crime film. In the movie three dalit girls are missing and Ayan Ranjan invention of girs missing reason and what going on with girls when they missing. And after he investigated those two girls raped by powerful person.
This film structure also follow Gennet Gerald's essay -Narrative Discourse: An essay in method five parts

1) Order
2) Duration
3) Voice
4) Frequency
5) Mood

Order - Story arrangements like simple a murder occurrs event-1 then the circumstances of the murder are revealed to a detective event-2 and finally the murdere is caught event -3.

Duration - Time described day, months, year in with few seconds, here I noticed once time Gaura(dalit)came for complete for missing three girls. Then two days past just few seconds and we see two girls hanging down to tree. So here also follow duration method.
Voice - Hetero-diegetic means the narrator is not a character in the story but his voice is remarkable - like in the film we listen -

"मैं राइटर बनना चाहता था... और साइंटिस्ट भी... फिर सोचा कि शायद साइंस का राइटर बन जाऊंगा। कुछ भी न हुआ साला! क्योंकि पैदा जहां हुआ वहां पैदा होना ही एक भयानक एक्सीडेंट जैसा था।" 

Frequency- An event can occur n timetand be narrated time (multiple) , in this movie we see casteism issus show more than one time.

Mood - In the movie we can analyse narrator more concted with film character.

Historical analysis - 

This story may be this desctibe this historical events. As we know casteism and classism are not new things. Now caste system is also part of our culture. We can say that only Indian are believe in caste system but also other countries believes in caste like Catholic and Protest group. But that kind of beliefs without awareness we can't break up , it is till happen. Reason only caste conflict and people biting other also. Here I put resent newspaper piece -
