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. Bastar: The Naxal Story Cast and Production Besides The Kerala Story Fame Adah Sharma, Bastar: The Naxal Story features several other actors including Indira Tiwari, Shilpa Shukla, Vijay Krishna, Yashpal Sharma, Subrat Dutta Raima Sen, and many others in important roles. Director Sudipto Sen and Amarnath Jha have used their prowess to write the film which is produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah under the banner of Sunshine Pictures.
