For long wanted to see Newton. One day, Ganesh whatsapped: Newton is on amazon. Having nothing to do all the time, always, switched to Newton on Sunday. Rama unsure, your art films cant match Mohanlals. We sat through 141 minutes of class and Rama said yes. In recent times, Hindi and Marathi sets have come up with screen near-classics. Newton is in that list. Director Amit V. Masurkar, with aces like Rajkkumar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Anjali Patil, Raghuvir Yadav and Sanjay Misra, has come up with a Grand Slam. A sparse, spare tale delivered in silences of Rao is more a take on Indian democracy appropriated and now owned by the rich over 70 years. Are poor adivasis harassed by Maoists and police any different from middle class me and you in Mumbai; our vote is a tamasha and like Adivasis do not expect a change. Elections are a Game of the Rich played by their sidekicks. As a polling officer Newton tries to wheedle denied of hope Adivasis to vote; some do; others dont; and then Newton blinks into a fix, a farce. A Newton will be happening in Gujarat shortly. Rao, Nawazuddin, Bajpai are artists not superstars. Have seen Rao in Shahid, Trapped and Aligarh. As Newton, Rao has a blink (noted by son Ganesh) and still face; government awards him for being on time at the office and also at the polling booth for 76 adults holding valid proofs from 11 to 3. Rao has little lines, more of silences and thats hard to do. The film makes me ask: where are we heading to. Zimbabwe? And is there any law governing us. Yes thinks Sanjay Misra: Newton law of gravity will hold equally for a chaiwala and Ambani when they jump off a cliff. Dialogues are crisp and packed like Lays. Newton pains. Adivasis having no clues on politicians but sure nothing will change. Newton's gravity will not alter in a democracy and dictatorship. Consolation. Do not know why an Oscar nomination? Can the Oscar jury grasp Newton? And is Oscar the last word on films? Is there a last word on any form of art. What you like others may not. Today grasped Newton Law of Politics. Money is Power.
