Bastar: The Naxal Story

The film is beautifully made with good acting. However many atrocities of the terrorists have not been revealed (maybe they were worried about the time constraints). They could have increased the length maybe by 15-30 minutes and would have included the beginning of this so called "rebellion" and how they brainwash the youth into joining it. That's why a 9/10.

Don't read those nonsensical reviews by these self proclaimed reviewers because their truth has also been revealed in this movie.

A must watch for all. It will clear all your doubts about how these self proclaimed (and to be honest bought by money) professors justify atrocities to common people like us. And if not for some honest officers how we could all end up destroying our motherland.

Great work has been done by the team. Everyone in the film have performed well.

The thrill and seriousness over really sensitive and painful topic has been maintained in the film.

What we read in news about chattisgarh and naxalites this film will give you deep dive.

The pain of the villagers and democracy has been truly depicted in the film.

Power of IPS has been truly justified by Adha character.

Great story telling and direction. Excellent script writing.

Judicial trail also support the story line and seriousness.

Also how much this problem has been rooted in the country.

How the funding and support they are getting.

Must watch movie.

Amazing cinematic film based on the true reality of naxal movement and it's horrific crimes committed against common Indians and our army which is based on political propaganda and vested interest of foreign powers that kept India backward and away from development.

I would seriously urge the young artistic generation to watch this and encourage others to do the same as this film might get banned across states for reasons known to everyone .

I also like Adal Sharma's acting , she has come a long way from 1929 and her acting skills have been getting better and better with each passing film . Her last film Kerala story was as amazing as this one and I wish her and the full team of Bastar a great box office success.

An absolute must watch film for the today's youth. It's a gut wrenching display of an ugly, violent agenda at work, smack dab in the middle of the country. Whether arts, media or educational institutions, this movie shows the depth of the rot, having been infested with their people and ideology.

Some parts of the movie are hard to watch. But they must be shown in its entirety to showcase the hardships citizens of such areas face on a daily basis. Their lives have been stolen by a cabal of maniacal people with a rabid ideology. The lead actress has again given a stellar performance, with a script worthy of her talent. This movie is dedicated to all the soldiers who have been fighting this war and have helped keep the country safe.

The movie dwells through the ground level issues of Maoism in Chattisgarh. It sheds light on how the nexus between the ruling government and Maoist leaders actually disrupted the working of SPOs and CRPF. It stays focused with the plot. However it may seem like a one sided story. The movie would have been better if it would have maintained balance by also showing why there are comrades with Maoists.

IG of Bastar is charged with suppression of Maoism which is apparently prevalent in the area in the period of 2010. A nexus between writers , educationists, universities and ruling party then in India creates hurdles for the system devised by the IG along with SPOs and camps. The brutalities of maoists is shown crisply with also mention of how international Mao movement funds this movement. The move is onesided. The critical viewpoint of Maoist is India is forgotten! If not for this last point , I recommended the movie completely.
