‘Chakravyuh’ talks of the growing ‘red corridor’ in several parts of the country, and how it came to be, and how it is playing out right here, right now.

Chakravyuh is, ultimately, a victim of typical Bollywood excesses. A little more subtlety, a little less jingoism, and it might have worked better.

In the end, Chakravyuh is nothing more than an average action flick in the garb of relevant cinema where socio-politico turmoil is nothing more than a prop and gun-toting militants in uniforms and bandanas hollering ‘Lal Salaam’ fill up the frames.

Chakravyuh tries to grapple with too many nexuses in the movie, but gets bogged down with the script and mediocre performances.
