Chakravyuh Movie Review
Chakravyuh (Hindi)
Release Date:
October 24, 2012There is a war raging in India. A war whose end can't be seen.A war that isn't being waged by outsiders. The enemy is our own! The youth of the country are rebelling.. Against injustice, against tyranny, against exploitation. Inequality will not be tolerated forever. There is anger, and there is deep social unrest. Our own countrymen are locked in the bloodiest armed mutiny this country has ever seen.
