If you want topical, meaningful cinema, go no further! Go watch Article 15. By far, the best serious film of recent times. In fiction, there used to be a term used often, "hit him in the solar plexus" -this is that kind of film.
Probably loosely based on a real incident, it takes a realistic look at how things play out in investigating a complex situation (death of two young women) in a caste-entangled small town in India. The slow and deliberate progress of the investigation is unique, and so is the understated playing of their roles by almost everybody in the cast. But the subdued nature of the drama does not for a moment take away from the hard-hitting facts of the case. The direction and editing are superb.
I think this movie forces you to take a hard look at many things. If it succeeds in making people think of moving towards change, it would have achieved a purpose.
