Review of Chakravyuh (2012) by Eric G — 13 Nov 2012

A Bollywood action movie with a social message: the big corporations are crushing the weak and the poor with the help of corrupt politicians. But it's not easy to decide what is morally right or wrong in a complex world.

Questions of friendships, moral values and allegiance are addressed. It's a decent attempt although still remains quite dramatic in its narrative style and focuses too much on the action. With such a long film, 2h30, the film would have benefited of more details around the political context since the director chose to use a real marxist/maoist political movement called Naxalism in Eastern India.

It nevertheless attempt to give a balance view of the situation. Interesting.
