Ayushmann Khurrana in Article 15
Ayushmann Khurrana in Article 15PR Handout

After powerful performances in films like Andhadhun and Badhai Ho! Ayushmann Khurrana is back and how! Khurrana's path-breaking act in Article 15, which makes you uncomfortable by showing the rigid and unjust caste system in the country, can certainly be called his career-best so far. However, with the pace with which he is choosing films, there's no denying the fact that he is establishing himself as both commercially successful and critically acclaimed.

Plot

Police officer Ayan Ranjan (Ayushmann Khurrana) comes to Lalgaon in UP to solve a case where two young girls were raped and murdered and hung from a tree for Rs 3.

Starcast

Ayushmann Khurrana plays the role of police officer Ayan Ranjan. Manoj Pahwa plays the role of officer Brahmadutt, Kumud Mishra of officer Jaatav and Ashish Verma as officer Mayank.

BO prediction

Just like the other movies of Ayushmann Khurrana the film is expected to do good business. However, it not being a commercial masala film might hinder it from smashing box-office records.
