I have been just thinking about Article 15 the movie since this issue started appearing in news. So many ppl said then that there is an extreme side shown in the movie but now when this reality comes to light, it feels that the movie just scratched the surface.

My favourite scene of Article 15 as I could relate to each and every dialogue. Listening to these things since early childhood and still continue to. https://t.co/VHzJi5hXzM

Gentle Reminder for the ones in Power ?
Article 15 of the Indian Constitution prohibits discrimination of Indians on basis of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth.
Kudos to @anubhavsinha for making a movie on this topic ? pic.twitter.com/yVDraWzSJM— Aarti (@aartic02) October 2, 2020
