"Oops................Sorry Kabeer !!"
Best lines of the film , when trigger happy Esha Gupta shoots Abhay Deol in the end.
The scene was supposed to be tragic but it ended up being damned funny !!
That's the biggest problem with Prakash Jha's (supposedly) hard hitting Chakravyuh. It takes a real, live , contemporary topic, and deals with it in a very amateurish, bollywood-y kind of way ( kind of like Sanjay Dutt Starrer Disaster 'Lamha'or Hritik starrer bigger disaster 'mission kashmir')
Much of the blame lies on wooden casting of Esha Gupta and Arjun Rampal. While Abhay Deol and Manoj Bajpayi stole the show, even they could not cover up the deadpan and painfully sub-par acting of others.
The story, on the other hand, could be lifted from any of the 80's potboilers... Corrupt politicians and industrialists, hand in glove policemen, and robin hood-ish , holier than thou Maoists.
Mr Jha, we, the audience are not 10 year old kids. If we want potboilers, we have enough number of mindless Salman-Akshay-Shahrukh starrer blunders already. Didn't expect this from maker of Mritydand and Gangajal.....
PS : Cool Chetak Helicopter Stunts in the end made my Day.....!!! Go Go helicopter pilots :)))
PS1 : The movie seemed like a propaganda movie 4 maoists....c'mon man, show the other side of coin too !!
PS2 : the Item number 'kunda khol' : worst item number EVER !! ugh !!
Moral of the story : give a girl a gun , and she'll kill the protagonist of the story :D.....
