Bastar: The Naxal Story Box Office Performance
Earlier this year, Bastar: The Naxal Story hit the cinemas amid decent expectations from fans and makers on March 15.
However, the political thriller received mostly negative reviews from both moviegoers & critics which caused it to quickly lose steam at the Box Office.
By the end of its theatrical run, the Indira Tiwari starrer only raked in a sum of Rs 3 crores (approximately )from the ticket windows, becoming a reason for embarrassment for all of its Stakeholders.
Bastar: The Naxal Story Plot
Allegedly inspired by the infamous 2010 Maoist attack (Dantewada) that took place in Chattisgarh Bastar: The Naxal Story touches on the 1910s Bhumkal movement while telling the stories of Naxalite–-Maoist insurgencies in the state’s affected regions.
The thriller entertainer sees its female lead Ahah Sharma portraying a courageous IPS officer Neerja Madhavan who is determined to give a tough time to Naxal terrorists by hook or crook.
How she wreaks havoc on the Maoists & deals with the situation is what the film is all about.
