The film\u2019s eponymous lead is an anomaly not just in the surrounding he inhabits <em>\u2013 <\/em>a conflict-ridden, Naxal-infested zone nestled deep inside the jungles of Chattisgarh <em>\u2013<\/em> but also in the context of the leads afforded to Hindi cinema.\n\nWhen was the last time we saw an idealist in Hindi cinema? Perhaps, 13 years ago, when NASA engineer Mohan Bhargava (Shah Rukh Khan) took a detour to <em>Swades<\/em>, and chose a country, imperfect in so many myriad ways over the comfort of an alien United States of America. But, even Bhargava\u2019s brand of idealism wasn\u2019t inherent. Instead, it was an acquired taste, one that he had to dig deep inside himself to recover, after many instances of criticising his country. For, he, like countless other Indians, complaining about the dismal state of the country, have been conditioned to be disillusioned. It\u2019s almost like we\u2019d been given a manual that screams, \u201cBe anything but idealistic.\u201d And, we\u2019ve been following it blindly, without complaint. We\u2019re too lazy to cause change, but not lazy enough to be products of armchair activism. Hindi cinema, and the cruelty of the world around us, has wrought in us a lucid understanding of idealism: It\u2019s on its way to extinction.\n\nThat is, until we met Rajkummar Rao\u2019s Newton Kumar, the rookie \u201csarkari afsar\u201d about to preside over an election involving 76 Gondi-speaking adivasis, living far away from the embrace of urbanisation. His inexperience with bureaucracy is conspicuous from his determination to ensure that he gathers the votes in accordance with the laws of the constitution, despite the constraints of reality. In fact, Newton almost succeeds in doing the impossible: Making idealism aspirational again.\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">&#8220;It is this youthful idealism that doesn\u2019t let Newton decipher a world beyond the realms of his responsibility.&#8221;<\/blockquote>\nHe\u2019s too focused with the change he has been tasked with bringing about, to worry about dreadful consequences. He wakes up the moment his alarm announces the arrival of Election Day at 4 am. He refuses to cow down in front of corrupt and manipulative paramilitary commander Aatma Singh (an irrepressible Pankaj Tripathi). A perfect antithesis to Newton\u2019s honest personality, Singh is disinterested in guiding the election officers on the long journey toward their makeshift polling booth, and dissuades them from carrying out their duty. Proxy signatures are fine. After all, of what consequence are 76 tribal votes? \u201cThe fact that you have reached here is good enough,\u201d Singh tells Newton and the other officers. But, for the earnest Newton, shortcuts are never the answer.\n\nFor, in Newton\u2019s head, the idea of democracy hasn\u2019t been tainted as it has been in Aatma Singh\u2019s head, who is convinced that bullying and intimidation are the real tangible weapons of a functioning democracy. His outlook toward elections isn\u2019t akin to local polling officer Malko Nettam (Anjali Patil) either. Having grown up watching the piling oppression against her people, Malko has not just discerned the futility of democracy in a conflict-ridden zone, but has also resigned to accepting how exercising her fundamental right (of voting) doesn\u2019t magically exact the fundamental rights granted to her people.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25627\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1505989921.jpg\" alt=\"Newton\" width=\"816\" height=\"407\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Newton is an unblinking portrait of unflinching hope and belief in his country.<\/p>\n<p>Drishyam Films \/ Colour Yellow Productions \/ Eros Now<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nNewton hasn\u2019t even lived long enough like 59-year-old government servant and part-time writer Loknath (Raghubir Yadav), to be disillusioned with the superficial farce of democratic elections, whose secret ingredient is almost always fake votes. In their own way, these three may have given up on surmising that their actions can make a difference in the larger scheme of things, or that they can be agents of change, but not Newton. Newton is an unblinking portrait of unflinching hope and belief in his duty, the government machinery, and his country.\n\nIt\u2019s probably why Newton sulks like a student unfairly punished by a school teacher <em>\u2013<\/em> about to burst into uncontrollable tears any moment <em>\u2013<\/em> when the tribals, who have been bullied into making their way to the polling booth by Aatma Singh and his band of cops, treat the act of voting as a mere game. On one hand, they are glaringly unaware of how an electronic voting machine is supposed to free them from their state and give them any agency, and on the other hand, Newton, is unable to comprehend the helpless state of their indifference.\n\nHowever, he refuses to ween that there can exist such a disconnect between a country, and 76 of its citizens. He rejects the ostensible truth that in areas of insurgency such as the remote village of Dandakaranya, democracy cannot thrive, or give up at the saddening realisation that opposition to noble efforts in the current times usually comes from people of our own, and not enemies. It\u2019s definitely why he chooses to risk his life and resort to the threat of violence, if it means being able to garner a few more votes from the tribals, willing to exercise their right sans coercion. Naturally, he is forced to the ground for his anomalous act of rebellion, but for Newton, it\u2019s a small price to pay. He\u2019s aware that in the cynical world that he inhabits, honesty is no longer just a virtue. It\u2019s looked down upon more frequently than it is celebrated. But that is hardly enough to deter him.\n\nIndeed, that moment is precisely when his Nutan Kumar rightfully transforms into Newton Kumar, a human embodiment of his 16th century namesake Isaac Newton\u2019s first law of motion: An object remains in a state of rest, or of uniform motion unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external unbalanced force. Newton\u2019s quiet acts of rebellion <em>\u2013 <\/em>whether it is guaranteeing that his polling booth remains open until the stipulated 3 pm deadline, or fighting tooth and nail to garner a few more votes <em>\u2013<\/em> are the silver lining that our country unknowingly needs. Thankfully for us, Newton is certainly not fighting a lone battle. His inherently stubborn idealism, despite its steely repercussions, is the staple of many earnest Newtons hidden across the country. The ones who are the reaction to the glaring inaction in our democracy.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25628\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1505989900.jpg\" alt=\"Newton\" width=\"724\" height=\"407\" \/>\n\n<figcaption>\n<p>Newton is aware that in the cynical world that he inhabits, honesty is no longer just a virtue. But that is hardly enough to deter him.<\/p>\n<p>Drishyam Films \/ Colour Yellow Productions \/ Eros Now<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nNewton\u2019s future could easily resemble that of <a href=\"https:\/\/yourstory.com\/2017\/08\/tukaram-mundhe-ias-officer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tukaram Munde\u2019<\/a>s, the IAS officer who was handed nine transfers in a span of 12 years for fighting corruption, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/india\/haryana-moves-ias-officer-khemka-again-47th-transfer-in-25-years\/story-aB8dxST3wtNsPx7FmmhpaK.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ashok Khemka<\/a>, best known for cancelling the mutation of Robert Vadra\u2019s illegal Gurgaon land deal. Newton could very well end up being friends with DIG (Prisons) <a href=\"http:\/\/indiatoday.intoday.in\/story\/karnataka-dig-of-prison-d-roopa-sasikala-transferred\/1\/1003820.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">D Roopa<\/a>, who in July this year was transferred by the Siddaramaiah government for shedding light on alleged corrupt activities inside a Bengaluru jail, and most importantly for accusing VK Sasikala Natarajan, the <a href=\"https:\/\/thewire.in\/176664\/sasikala-removed-aiadmk-post-jayalalithaa-general-secretary-forever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">former AIADMK general secretary<\/a>, of bribing top prison officials for undue favours. One can also imagine him lauding the bravery of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/mass-transfer-in-uttar-pradesh-includes-woman-police-officer-shreshtha-thakur-who-took-on-angry-bjp-1719523\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shreshtha Thakur,<\/a> the Uttar Pradesh DSP, who became an internet sensation after a video of her taking on BJP workers for violating traffic rules went viral. Despite receiving widespread acclaim for her bravado in sending five goons to jail, she was promptly transferred to the Nepal border, a mere fortnight after the incident. It\u2019s a given that Shreshtha wouldn\u2019t be the <a href=\"http:\/\/indiatoday.intoday.in\/story\/dig-roopa-transfer-row-no-space-for-honest-officers-shreshtha-thakur\/1\/1004467.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last<\/a> earnest officer to have faced the wrath of corrupt higher powers, who are convinced that they can manipulate democracy.\n\nBut, it\u2019s also an assured reality that despite their circumstances, and the increasing jadedness of their fellow citizens, India\u2019s many Newtons continue to flourish. They take pleasure in winning the small fights, instead of rushing in for the bigger battles. Because, like Newton, their greatest act of idealism would not be giving up on their country. \u00a0And, just like <em>Newton<\/em>, the film that interplays with hope and change even while underlining crippling helplessness, these army of Newtons will succeed in snatching the sea of optimism from the jaws of pessimism.\n\nSome day.\n\nUntil then, their actions, sacrifices, and lives will be a manifestation of the lines of a song from the film:\n\n<em>Manzil door thhi<\/em>\n<em>Dheemi chaal thhi<\/em>\n<em>Udti dhool mein<\/em>\n<em>Aankhen laal thhi<\/em>\n<em>Chalte chalte khud
