An understated, clever, topical, black comedy with a heart about democracy, elections, our responsibilities as citizens and the power of conviction. Laugh out loud in places, poignant in others, and always honest. I watched it a couple of times at the Tribeca Festival in New York where it was in the competition section, and both times it received an ovation from a house full theatre. Brilliantly written, artfully directed and wonderfully performed. A must watch!

The movie Revolves around a Govt Employee who is Young and Who Is assigned a Duty of an Election Officer . he is very Puntual and Honest unlike others in his office.He chose to go to Naxal or Maoist Influenced area for the election process. In the whole movie the makers have shown that the goverment is good for nothing,the Army is oppressor, and the whole election process is a Show off. lols very pathetic and very imaginative script int the name of meaningful cinema. only naxal affected regions are not india , except naxal affected and kashmir india is very much happening and everything is developing . there are jungles and vast lansdd in other states of india y there is no such naxal movement , so stop being Anti India, Naxal themselves are the root cause of this situation. they dont beleive in the law of the land so be it , govt is Doing wahat it can.

I don't understand the reason behind giving it such a high rating. I was deceived by IMDb ratings which was the major reason why I committed such a big mistake. The story starts off with issues related to elections and it stays there and doesn't move. I was honestly thinking to myself, maybe something will happen now. The ending was full of suspense but sadly nothing happened. I was highly disappointed with the movie. I could never recommend such a stupid movie to my friends. It was a bag of crap.

I saw this fabulous Indian film called "Newton" last night which by the way is the only Indian film to be screened at this year's New Zealand International Film Festival. This film was screened at Cannes and I guess this is the second festival after the Festival de Cannes where it is being showcased. In a nutshell, this film is about an election officer who takes the responsibility of going into a forest ridden with armed revolutionaries in order to collect votes from the local residents. I had read somewhere that Isaac Newton, the genius scientist, was actually a very complicated man. His namesake in this film seemed no different. While his intentions were good, his method of executing them was questionable. Which is why when you see this film, you will wonder if the protagonist is actually the antagonist. Everything in cinema is a matter of perspective. The film is infused with dark humour from start to finish and Rajkumar Rao is nothing short of a brilliant actor. Because this was a festival film, I saw this film with a primarily Kiwi audience which is always a great thing. I want Indian films to have a global audience. If main-stream Bollywood films don't attract a foreign fan-following, art-house festival circuit low-budget films certainly will. It is so ironic that I saw this film at a time when New Zealand is preparing for the upcoming elections This film appeared so minimalist yet was nothing short of a funny edge-of-the-seat thriller.

It lacks vision and story seems incomplete that what made newton too professional. The writer wants to portray newton as professional person who would do anything to keep its commitments.Newton is person who follows law. Remember newton rejected girl for marriage because she was 16 as in law minimum age should be 18 for marriage.So coming to the election again he is follow procedures and is rhetoric on how everybody to follow protocol of their job.Again acting professional it is good for 1 hour but for 2 hour this seems repetitive, predictable and boring. In fact newton tries to look insecure throughout election process. Army using common sense because they knew that's best here. Last but not the least in the end newton aggression to make him feel good for casting 4 votes helps him to achieve his objective of casting votes and leaving on time. The movie basic flaw was that main character was portrayed as person being too honest and in fact he never seemed to be using common sense in dealing even simpler situation which made movie look boring and time waste. Story was exaggerated to cover the time which is really bad. Movie could have been short and they should have deducted non sense. In fact they were trying to tell people how election process happens in election both I mean seriously? The writer could have done better to keep more substance in this movie instead of keep on repetitive scenes that were of no value and made it really boring.

Total waste of time. No consistent story and literally no conclusive climax. I regret watching this.

Newton is just not a brave film but perhaps the most important film of the year. It is a satirical take on Indian election process which discusses the loopholes in the system while strengthening the faith on world's largest democracy. A simple tale about an ambitious government officer commissioned to conduct a fair election in an isolated Naxalist/Maoist area in Chattisgarh who carries his honesty as a badge of honor. Rajkumar Rao plays the lead role and aces it - a stubborn character driven by self-righteousness who is not tainted by the corruption and cynicism that we as Indians have come to embrace, so often, so regularly. The supporting cast is equally brilliant with Pankaj Tripathi, Raghubir Yadav and Sanjay Mishra leaving a lasting impression. It is not a preachy movie but tries to help us understand the importance of voting and how individual opinions can collectively establish or overrun a system. Our need for an able administrator, our desire to take powers in hand, and our faith in the system while establishing an honest government all lies within our reach – by just casting the vote. To begin the change, we must take responsibility and do our bit. A script made of fine witty and subversive humour even when the subject is a serious one, is what makes Newton the film, so unique. It most certainly will defy gravity to fly high in the corridors of Bollywood Cinema. If possible, go watch this in theater. We as an audience rarely get a chance to watch such an absorbing movie – may be to just encourage such a genuine piece of art. Do cast your vote sensibly!
