Movie review Chakravyuh: Manoj, Rampal, Deol shine, but poor score disappoints

New Delhi: To make a movie intertwined with the Maoist movement, name a hamlet Nandigarh (remember Nandigram?), throw in blood and gore, add love, malice, an item number as dollops, and voila! the movie is ready. This, in short, is Prakash Jha's Chakravyuh.



Though it raises important questions about our society, yet there are no definitive answers. Nothing new emerges as you come out of the theatre.

Maoist movement has  always been a topic of discussion among the literate sections of society.

The violence inherent in the  struggle to establish a classless society has been opposed by sections of the intelligentsia considered leaning towards the establishment.    

Portraying the full, real picture about Maoist movement on the silver screen would have been a big challenge for any filmmaker.
