In the first scene our protagonist Newton Kumar (Rajkumar Rao) is eating an apple while reading a rule book of election and in last scene Malko (Anjali Patil), one of his colleague asks him looking at his cervical collar, ‘What happened to your neck?’ He answers, ‘This was a reaction for some of my action.’ The Oscar official entry movie ‘Newton’ concludes on Newton’s third law of motion. The movie is all about the forces and those are obviously from political parties, security personnel and national and international media. The movie shows all the laws that Newton had prescribed in his research, the only change is, the interacting objects are human.
Not to forget that the Naxalite movement was seeded due to the mass injustice with the poor. The country is facing this reaction for several years though the activist like Dr. Binayak Sen, Arundhati Roy, Sachin Mali, Shital Sathe, Arun Ferreira and many others fought for the equal rights and also got arrested in charges of being connected with the naxalites and involved in naxalites movement. All these activists worked with tribal communities of Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and other states and tried to keep them away from the bloodsucking so called movement of naxalism. But the political forces are making the opposite reaction to this equaling action for several years. Not the democratic way of election also could make out a good living for this alienated people. Naxalites are the victims of this corrupt system but they don’t realize that keeping the whole community unenlightened without education and prosperity, they are being puppet in the hands of the upper forces. The system can be changed by the tools of election but the evil of Naxalism prevents it to be done as no officer want to attain the loyal duty in the fear of naxalite attacks. An honest government officers like Newton Kumar believes that every duty has its own dignity and he prepares himself for the election duty and gradually he wants those victimized people to rebel and turn the system upside down with the democratic way of fare election. He tries it hard not for the sake of his duty but for the well beginning of the awareness at least.    

  
The on duty Election booth’s Presiding officer Newton Kumar soon realizes that getting the election procedure accomplished in the area surrounded by jungle and the burnt houses, the sign of boycott by naxalites, is not as easy and heroic as he imagined. The CRPF officer Atma Singh (Pankaj Tripathi) warns him about naxalite attacks but Newton does not listen to him. Atma Singh also warns him to remain Newton and not to be Einstein.  Newton believes that if the tribals are guided properly then they will not fear for the attack by naxalites. Newton encourages them to vote and even provide a crash course for how to vote. The course also brings forward that the candidates of election are absolutely unknown to their actual voters. During the course the tribals asks very basic questions which are unanswered since several years in free India. The honest office Newton faces the questions like what will they gain from an election, who will give them a good price for tendu patta? If they vote then they will have to face consequences both by police and Naxalites. No one asks them what they really want. They want to get rid of both of them. Newton obviously doesn’t have any particular answer for this. Somehow he gets 39 people out of 76 voted.
Atma Singh is an experienced police officer and he knows when the naxalite could attack so he mocks the attack and making an havoc get the election booth emptied, he sends back Newton and all other officers. But Malko asks Newton to use his sixth sense.  And Newton completes his duty as per Rule. This portion of the movie is been quite dramatic, but who knows, that could be the reality of this so called fare election. But the drama also can damage the road to final selection for Oscars.
Director Amit Masurkar has all the hold on the Newton’s law throughout the movie. His and Mayank Tewari’s screenplay framed the serious topic into a satire and black comedy. Putting a serious topic in a black comedy is being the long practice of film makers in India. It is definitely a showcase of life of end people for the 70 years of independence. The question is, did the system has shaken a bit?
