== Plot ==
Nutan "Newton" Kumar ([[Rajkummar Rao]]), a rookie [[government]] [[clerk]] on reserve is sent on [[election]] duty to a [[Naxal]]-controlled town in the [[Naxalite-Maoist insurgency|insurgency]]-ridden jungles of [[Chhattisgarh]], [[India]], when one of the main duty officers there is found to be facing heart problems. Faced with the apathy of the war-weary [[Central Reserve Police Force]] (CRPF) security forces, led by Assistant Commandant Aatma Singh ([[Pankaj Tripathi]]), and the looming fear of [[Guerrilla warfare|guerrilla attacks]] by [[communist]] insurgents, he tries his best to conduct free and fair [[voting]] despite the odds stacked against him. He is disappointed when the voters do not turn up for the election. Later when a foreign reporter turns up at the polling station the CRPF force the villagers from the constituency to turn up to cast their votes. When one of them enters the polling booth, he becomes bewildered with the voting machine and its operation.

After talking to the lot, soon Newton realizes that they have no idea what the election is about. Some thought they would earn [[money]] from this, while others asked hopelessly about getting paid sufficiently for their work. He desperately tries to educate them but to no avail. Taking the lead, a frustrated Aatma Singh pushes Newton aside and shames the villagers by telling them that these officers have risked their lives for their vote, and they should not turn them away. He tells them that the voting machine is a toy; there are symbols of elephants, cycles, etc. and they could press any symbol they like (leaving them uneducated about the fact that those symbols represent respective political parties). So while they vote for their favourite symbol, instead of politicians they have never heard about, the foreign reporter gets a good news report about [[India's democracy]].

Newton wants to sit at the polling booth for the stipulated time but is forced to flee due to a Naxal ambush which he realises later was staged by the CRPF. On gaining such knowledge, he tries to outrun his escort team back to the polling booth, but gets caught on both sides, and is forcefully taken back to safety. On the way back Newton decides to collect the votes of four villagers who suddenly turn up from deep inside the forest. Aatma Singh is reluctant to let them do so. It is here where the film gives the viewer the conundrum of the situation in war torn areas, through two men without any rivalry, bent on their duty, yet a stark difference, exposing the conundrum of truth. Taking his duty very seriously, Newton steals Aatma Singh's rifle and holds the officer at gunpoint till the villagers cast their votes. Singh comments out of frustration that he did not want polling to be conducted in an area that was only secured by government forces 6 months ago, mentioning that there are still more landmines than men. He tells Newton that he doesn't want to lose any more troops, especially when the government cannot even supply them with [[night vision goggles]] that they have been requesting for 2 years. Newton keeps him at gunpoint even after the voting for the remaining two minutes of his official duty (till 3pm). The CRPF troops then beat him up out of frustration.

The movie concludes with a shot of the area six months later, showing mining activity going on. Aatma Singh is shown shopping in civilian dress with his wife and daughter during holidays, suggesting he is humane and conditions in Naxal-affected areas made him a dispassionate and cynical person. Newton is shown in his office wearing a neck brace for his injury from the beating but otherwise happy, and keeping with his old ways. He is visited by the local election officer Malko ([[Anjali Patil]]) who asks him what happened after she left as she is unaware of the events and Newton asks her to tell everything over tea, but only after five minutes, when Newton's scheduled lunch break begins.

==Reception==
''Newton '' was released to universal critical acclaim and was also a commercial success. On [[Rotten Tomatoes]], ''Newton '' has an approval rating of 94% based on 18 reviews, with an average rating of 7.6/10.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/newton_2017 |title=Newton |website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]}}</ref> On the Indian film review aggregator website The Review Monk, ''Newton'' received a 7.5 out of 10 average score based on 23 reviews.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://thereviewmonk.com/movie/newton/ | title=Newton Reviews}}</ref>

[[Rajeev Masand]] gave the film a rating of 4 stars out of 5 and said that, "''Newton'' is relevant and timely without being boring or inaccessible. You could say it lays on its message too thick in the end, or that the pace occasionally slips. But these are minor nigglings that never dent the impact of its thrust."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rajeevmasand.com/reviews/our-films/rumble-in-the-jungle-2/ |title=Rumble in the jungle |publisher=Rajeev Masand}}</ref> Neil Soans of ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave the film a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5, saying, "''Newton'' has dared to take on an issue that our vast majority turns a blind eye to, and slaps us out of our blissful ignorance. Amidst laughing, it'll leave you thinking, which - and we need to be reminded of this - is what good cinema should do. Both your funny bone and your grey cells will thank you for watching it." Soans praised the performances of the cast - particularly that of Rao and Tripathi - and the screenplay by Masurkar and Tewari.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/newton/movie-review/60739447.cms |title=Newton Movie Review |newspaper=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref>

Suhani Singh of ''[[India Today]]'' gave the film a rating of 4 stars out of 5 and said that, "''Newton'' is a dark comedy that gives you equal measures of dread and disillusionment and hope and hilarity. It makes you see the pitfalls of the democratic system but also tells you that it's the only one capable of positive change. This is reality at its finest, with credible performances and backdrops that immerse viewers into the world and where even the faces of the background characters leave a heartbreaking impression."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/newton-movie-review-rajkummar-rao/1/1053452.html |title=Newton Movie Review: Rajkummar Rao's black comedy is the finest Hindi film of 2017 |magazine=[[India Today]]}}</ref> Shubhra Gupta of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' gave the film a rating of 4 stars out of 5 saying that, "Director Amit V Masurkar and co-scriptwriter Mayank Tewari have crafted a strong black comedy. It is as sharp and subversive as the classic ''[[Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro]]'', and even though it is entirely sobering, it leaves us feeling just a little better about ourselves." She also praised the performances of the actors saying, "Rajkummar Rao is enjoying a purple patch. After ''[[Bareilly Ki Barfi]]'', here he is again stitching up a big performance full of small things: blinking, thinking, doing. He is at his most interesting when he is being quiet: he makes us watch. Pankaj Tripathi, as the head of the security detail, cynical yet doing the best he can, is lovely too. For once the talented Patil has been used well, and as for Raghubir Yadav, he gives us, after ''[[Peepli Live]]'', another stand-out act, a lesson in How To Immerse Yourself Effortlessly In Your Role.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/newton-movie-review-rajkummar-rao-star-rating-4853836/ |title=Newton movie review: This Rajkummar Rao film is as sharp and subversive as Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro |newspaper=[[The Indian Express]]}}</ref>

Rohit Vats of ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' gave the film a rating of 4 stars out of 5 and said that, "It is one of the finest political satires we have seen in the last couple of years. It refrains from taking sides and offers a humorous take on state versus the Maoists bloody battle. It raises questions on the importance of the electoral system we are so proud of. It takes us much beyond what we see. The team of Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Raghuvir Yadav and Anjali Patil has come up with a top-notch performance."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/movie-reviews/newton-movie-review-a-charming-satire-on-the-dance-of-democracy/story-51KAdBEEbNmGFmdWzPjkzI.html |title=Newton movie review: A charming satire on the dance of democracy |newspaper=[[Hindustan Times]]}}</ref>

Harish Wankhede calls Newton 'A new Dalit Hero' in the Indian Express review.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-10-05|title=A New Dalit Hero|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/a-new-dalit-hero-hindi-cinema-bollywood-newton-caste-social-identity-dalit-character-4874709/|access-date=2021-07-07|website=The Indian Express|language=en}}</ref> He suggests that the most reviews of the film neglect the protagonist’s social identity, while emphasising the film’s creative aspects. "Newton, no doubt, is a refreshing entry in the genre of commercial art house cinema. However, more significantly, the director offers a new social imaginary to depict the film’s protagonist. A new Dalit hero is offered to the audience through the subtle use of certain symbolic gestures and social codes."

''Newton'' received a warm response at its premiere at the [[Berlin International Film Festival|Berlin Film Festival]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/newton-wins-art-cinema-honour-at-berlinale/1/886270.html|title=Rajkummar Rao-starrer Newton wins Art Cinema honour at Berlinale|access-date=4 April 2017}}</ref> It also won the [[CICAE]] Award for best film in the Forum Section.

== Controversy ==
After the film's release and its selection as India's entry for the Oscars, ''Newton'' was criticized for its striking similarities with the Iranian movie ''[[Secret Ballot (film)|Secret Ballot]].'' In defence, film-maker [[Anurag Kashyap]] voiced his support to the team of ''Newton'', stating "''Newton'' is as much a copy ''Secret Ballot'' ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|The Avengers]]'' is of ''[[Watan Ke Rakhwale]]''".

The producer and director of ''Secret Ballot'' further clarified that ''Newton'' is not a copy of his film. Anurag Kashyap started an online chat with the producer of ''Secret Ballot'' Marco Müller, and he stated that "There's not even a hint of plagiarism". Kashyap then asked for his permission and shared a screenshot of the conversation on his [[Facebook]] account. Subsequently, the director of the Iranian film [[Babak Payami]] stated in an online interview that he "saw the film and there is no sign of plagiarism. These are completely different films."<ref>{{cite news|title='Newton' is different from 'Secret Ballot', confirms Iranian director|url=http://gulfnews.com/life-style/celebrity/desi-news/bollywood/newton-is-different-from-secret-ballot-confirms-iranian-director-1.2096794|access-date=27 September 2017|work=[[Gulf News]]|date=27 September 2017}}</ref>
