Naxalbari

"Naxalbari is a taut, gripping and action packed mini series on Zee5 that ticks all the boxes. It exudes the conviction of all the players involved, the activists who believe in the Maoist ideology, the administration on the defensive and the capitalists who create the imbalance in the society.

Raghav (Rajeev Khandelwal) leads a mission to investigate the Gadchiroli blast with the objective of bringing the Naxalite movement under control, but gets caught in the maze of his own past, the tragic assassination of his dearest friend and eventually gets nabbed by the resurgents. He soon realizes that the network is extremely complex, reinforced by the local village folks and there are challenges closer home too.

As he tries to put the clues together with his colleagues and other seniors, a major showdown is waiting to be executed at a summit where the chief minister is about to inaugurate an industrial initiative that's meant to change the demographics of the region.

It's showtime!! Director Partho Mitra puts forward a power packed, fast paced, suspenseful and intriguing drama with some stellar performances from Aamir Ali, Satyadeep Mishra, Tarun Arora, Tina Dutta, Narayani Shastri, Shakti Anand and Rajeev Khandelwal. Spurred by some breathtaking cinematography by Modhura Palit and Hari Nair, wild sets steeped in reality and a haunting background score will keep the viewers glued on till the very end.

The story is very promising but the direction and plot spoiled the series. The unnecessary fighting with fists bollywood style instead of shooting in the head makes the story unrealistic. Also the thrill is missing in most places due to loose and predictable plot. Other than the cop Mohit's killing nothing else in the movie is mysterious or thrilling. Some characters like Ketki and FICA MIT industrialist who happen to the main villain are very weak.

This is probably the first series which is made from the point of view of security forces and doesn't glorify naxalism. This is the first series which has showed the nexus between so called intellectuals, social activists, politicians and naxals. It also shows how the brave security forces are martyred for the greed and political agenda of these people and despite this they are always ready to serve.

Great performances by Rajeev Khandelwal, Aamir Ali, Sreejita Dey and Tarun Arora. However, there ending is abrupt and somethings are shown which are far from current reality.

Casting is really amazing. It's a one time watch story.

The conflict between Naxalites, industrialists and the government is very old. All three have their own agenda, which they try to fulfill. In between all this, political parties also find their point in it.

ZEE5 Naxalbari web series is one such story revolving around Naxalism, industry and politics, which is made under the direction of Partho Mitra. This web series of nine episodes will be shown on ZEE5 Original.

The seat thriller of ZEE5 tells the story of the conflict between the Naxalites and the government. The moments depicted in it will increase your heartbeat.

Naxalbari web series is a great web series to watch, with great action and sharp social commentary. A film or web series, its story becomes funny when there is suspense in it.

The story of Naxalbari is not as easy as it seems. Naxalbari captivates you from the very first episode. The subsequent nine episodes take you on a fantastic adventure.

However, a lot of expectations are attached to it and hopefully it will not disappoint. Of course, no such show has been shown on screen yet.
