Full Plot Details

As India, the world's largest democracy, braces itself for another general election- with 9 million polling booths, more than 800 million voters, and costing nearly $5 billion -- Newton Kumar, a rookie government clerk finds himself entrusted with a task that appears deceptively simple: conducting elections in a remote village in the jungles of central India. The bushes teem with Communist guerrillas, who have been waging a decades old war against the state, even as the indigenous tribals live without any access to mainland amenities. Conducting 'free and fair' elections in a minefield like this is no child's play, as Newton learns over the course of this eventful day. Unfazed with the cynicism and danger all around him, Newton is determined to do his duty. But, as they say in the jungle, 'The more things change, the worse they will get'.

Movie Reviews

Reuters - 9/10 by Shilpa JamkhandikarFor those of us who are election junkies, Newton is a welcome peek into the fascinating world of an Indian general election and the processes and ideologies that govern it. But even if you don't care about elections, Newton works on so many other levels.
ScreenAnarchy - 9/10 by J HurtadoIt is clear that Masurkar is the real deal.
Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Deborah YoungBoth exasperating and endearing in the title role, Rao again shows he is a chameleon actor whose gift for poker-faced comedy revs up the figure of a rigid young civil servant.
Variety - 9/10 by Jessica KiangEasy to watch, easy to enjoy and easy to leave with one's preconceptions wholly unchallenged.
Decider - 9/10 by Jade BudowskiNewtown succeeds because of the powerful emotional story it tells; while it is incredibly gut-wrenching, it leaves viewers with a message of hope and unity, and a vital call to action.
Film Inquiry - 9/10 by Alex LinesDespite its cynical viewpoint on the state of politics in India, Newton is primarily a goofy comedy which never really rises above the level of 'amusing'.
The Hindu - 9/10 by Namrata JoshiWatching the film I was struck by the artistic landmines it could have potentially got trapped in but manages to navigate well.
The Film Stage - 9/10 by Bedatri D. ChoudhuryNewton is a political film, but it is also a very witty. So there is no lecturing, no overt sloganeering, but only a very wry, ironical take on the way things function in India.
Filmfare - 9/10 by Rachit GuptaFunny, relevant and deeply gratifying, Newton is a veritable modern classic.
Hindustan Times - 8/10 by Rohit VatsNewton is one of the finest political satires we have seen in the last couple of years.
