Free Movie Download Site Comparison Before explaining the major highlight features of the movie sites in detail, you can also take a quick look at this comparison chart:

1. YouTube

In an earlier version of this article, YouTube was listed a lot lower in this list. However, thanks to some recent changes and the company’s growing inclination towards free, ad-supported content, I’ve decided to list it as the #1 source of free movies on the web.

Now, YouTube offers more than 100 complete feature-length films on its platform. It’s also mentioned on our latest list of best movie streaming sites. This makes YouTube a perfectly free movie website for those who can’t afford to spend a premium for accessing Netflix and Hulu content. You can simply visit this link and watch movies like Zookeeper, Legally Blonde, The Terminator, Flawless, Kung Fu Killer, IP Man, and more. Moreover, YouTube also has plans to make its original shows and movies free from 2020.

It’s worth noting that these movies for streaming are currently only available in the USA. In case you’re from India, feel free to check out our list of best sites for Indian movies. The list contains reputed sources like YuppFlix, BoxTV, etc.

Availability: USA

2. The Internet Archive internet archive free feature films

You’ll be surprised to find The Internet Archive sitting at the top of our free movie download websites. It like a goldmine to download free movies, music, and books. This list includes the original Jungle Book, Farewell to Arms, Iron Mask, Night of the Living Dead, The Brother from Another Planet, etc.

About 4-5 years ago, The Internet Archive just provided direct links and often the movie downloads failed as the file sizes were large. Thanks to the torrent links, now you can easily enjoy and download hundreds of movies without spending a penny. The overall catalog found on this website is continuously growing and new content is added every day.

The website also allows creating a free virtual library card which grants you access to forums, the ability to upload videos, bookmark favorite content, etc.

3. Hotstar

Having talked about the American viewers and the availability of free movies for them in the YouTube section, let’s talk about Indian/Hindi content. Even though paid services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are focusing more and more on Indian audience, Hotstar remains a good source of free streaming and movie download for offline streaming.

This service’s catalog has good amount of popular Indian movies like Housefull, Raid, Kaabil, Jolly LLB, Bodyguard, and more. The interface of the service is pretty neat and there’s a well-designed app as well. Moreover, Hotstar is also great for watching Indian TV shows, sports, and news for free.

ARTICLE 15 MOVIE REVIEW

Article 15 Story: A young IPS officer’s new posting in rural India has him confronting caste disparities and uncomfortable truths in the face of a gruesome crime. When three girls go missing in the fictional village of Lalgaon, couchtuner two of them are found dead and there is no trace of the third one. Where is she and who is responsible for this heinous act?

Article 15 Review: When Ayan Ranjan (Ayushmann Khurana), a city bred IPS officer is given charge of the Lalgaon Police Station in the heartland of India, he realises soon enough that he will have to tackle far more than meets the eye. At one point early in the film, he exasperatedly tells his wife Aditi (Isha Talwar) on the phone, “It’s like the wild wild West.” Having studied in Delhi’s St. Stephens and lived in Europe prior to this, Ayan is clearly at odds with the mindsets that accost him right from the word go at Lalgaon. Even as he is grappling with the strong presence of caste discrimination and societal inequalities looming over, he stumbles upon the news of three girls employed in a local factory who have gone missing for the last two days.

His colleagues, (Manoj Pahwa and Kumud Mishra) tell him in all probability the girls will turn up. But the next morning, when two of them are found hanging from a tree, it confirms that something has gone horribly wrong.

However, there is relentless pressure to close the case as quickly as possible. "Aap logo ka transfer ho jata hai, hume maar diya jata hain," says Pahwa's character as he tries to convince Ayan to sign off on the case file.

As the police officer in command, Ayan is committed to getting to the bottom of this, refusing to buckle down despite obstacles and threats lurking in almost every corner.

Anubhav Sinha’s 'Article 15' is designed like a crime thriller. What works for for the film is that it’s thought provoking, hard hitting while unflinchingly bringing to light burning social issues.

The film is heavy on atmospherics, with the top notch cinematography (Ewan Mulligan) and background score adding to the mood. The feel is grim, gritty and grey often bringing a chill to the bone with palpable tension in the air. The images – some provocative and uncomfortable stand out, like the one where a man goes deep into a drain to unclog it and emerges soaked in the filth or the top shot of a group of policemen conducting a search in a swamp with their torchlights. The dialogues leave an impact. The director brings out subtle nuances through the characters and setting which add another dimension to the narrative. The film’s storyline,interspersed with powerful and poignant moments leaves you with goose-bumps. The narrative keeps you on the edge, but there are times when it feels a tad overstuffed as the layers, political intricacies and a multitude of characters seep in. And at times the pace dips.

But certainly, the performances by an ace set of actors is one of the high points of the film. Ayushmann Khurana has you hooked instantly, belting out a riveting performance as the sincere, determined police officer. It’s an intense, gripping act as he gets under the skin of his character. Other noteworthy scene stealers include actors Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub.

'Article 15' is not a light watch, but it is definitely relevant, compelling and a film that will spark conversation. In-depth Analysis Our overall critic’s rating is not an average of the sub scores below.
