There was around when commercial masala films, as well as parallel cinema, also had their audience. Supported directors like Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalani, Prakash Jha have given many characters like’Semi Satya’ and’Daumul’. In which the story of a common man was told without any interference. But in the subsequent era, it was not such that efforts were not made, but the mixing of the market began to be clearly visible. This week’s new director Amit Masurkar, who has just released a single movie so far and is now releasing his second film’Newton’. This film is so honest that you often forget the golden period of parallel cinema when director Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalani used to make belag films.
Newton’s story is an idealistic boy whose name is new but, he has named his Newton. This idealistic boy(Rajkumar Rao) tries to be honest in every aspect of life. In such a situation, his duty seems to be in Chhattisgarh’s tribal area, where there are only a few voters and this area is battling Naxalism badly. In such a situation, will Newton be able to vote fairly? The film has been weighed on the same story, ’Newton’. It is heartening to see the situation of democracy in the forests away from Bullet Train, Sky Walk and Mall etc. on the pretext of this movie. Adivasis are made fun of in the name of democracy, how the government machinery looks at such areas, it is engraved with utmost sincerity and honesty in every frame. Rajkumar Rao remained completely in the role of Newton.
