“That day when you wake up to the news that a deserving film makes a deserving box office .. Newton Shines .. super happy. Newton is as much a copy of “Secret Ballot” as The Avengers is of Watan Ke Rakhwale. Newton is an award winner from Berlin Fest and I can promise you those curators watch more films in a year than rest of us do in a lifetime,” wrote the director on his official Twitter account.

In an exclusive interview with indianexpress.com earlier, Newton director Amit Masurkar had said, “It would be best if people watch both films before deciding or writing an article. We hadn’t even heard of Secret Ballot when we were writing the script. Newton is very rooted. If it was a copy, do you think Berlin, Tribeca would have programmed it? The other film has also won international awards. Newton is not a copy of any other film, it isn’t even inspired.”
