Directed by Anubhav Sinha, Article 15 stars Ayushmann in the lead as IPS officer, Ayan Ranjan, along with an incredible ensemble cast including stellar supporting performances by Kumud Sharma, Manoj Pahwa, Sayani Gupta, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and M Nasser.
The movie is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on the 28th of June which is tomorrow has already premiered at the 10th edition of London Indian Film Festival earlier this month. The film's story, stirring performances and direction tied together with its thought-provoking subject received a positive response on its opening night at the film festival too.
Ahead of the film's theatrical release, Article 15 is also being highly praised by the media and netizens who've watched the film. Here are some of the Twitter reactions that are sure to leave you looking forward to the film:
