Naxalism has been one of the biggest problems in independent India.
The problem created due to inequality and injustice meted out to hapless citizens, who cannot fight for their rights in the current socio-political system.
The so called “Red-Belt” stretches all the way from Bihar to Kerala.
Like many of Prakash Jha’s movies, this film too focuses on a contemporary problem being faced by the country – which is an important problem.
But one which many of us tend to ignore, because it does not impact our daily life.
