movie review: Chakravyuh

Cast: Arjun Rampal, Abhay Deol, Om Puri, Esha Gupta.


Director: Prakash Jha


Tough storylyn. This movie is made on a very sensitive topic, the Naxals.

Rampal plays the cop who is posted in Nanded to finish off the Naxals. Esha plays his wife + associate cop. LOL, ryt.. I noe. Abhay Deol plays a stubborn friend then an estranged friend and then a back stabbing bastard. Om Puri plays a Naxal advisor. Manoj Bajpai plays the Naxal leader.

Rampal plants Deol in the Naxal gang as a rat. But, as Deol stays among 'em he realizes that there's more to Naxals that what meets the eye. He explains this Rampal and asks him to withdraw from Nanded. Rampal refuses to withdraw. Now, it's Rampal versus Deol. The cops & the Naxals go for a toss. Esha Gupta was not required, they could have managed without her. Bajpai's talent got wasted. Rampal looks tough as a cop. Deol is at his best.


P.S.  you could watch this one over a cheese-popcorn.
