Anupam Kher acted well. but do not expect 'saransh' performance here in this movie. he is a professor or recruiter(Gabbar kind of). Pallavi Joshi was exceptional. Arunoday Singh puts up a decent performance as a young revolutionary top college kid who steps up against the exploitation of poor innocent tribal people in the name of fight for equality of the same people. The movie shows how people under the mask of Marx-Lenin left ideology and devil of corruption slowly eating our nation. Due to bitter truth shown in the movie none of distributed yet agreed for commercial release of film. Movie has been screened at over 30 film festivals. and has won many of awards. although the movie was removed from the scheduled list at National Film Festival as someone is ensuring that people do not watch it. This will clear up some of 'what who why' in the recent JNU incident. Inspired from Agnihotri's own life, "Buddha In A Traffic Jam", dealing with corruption and Maoism, is set in a business school where a professor and a student, who is set to create a revolution.

Undoubtly a must watch parallel cinema which is rare now a days.

Movie start with a lecture in business school. But, as it moves forward it unravel hidden realities of deep rooted naxalism of India. The intellectual support to naxalism and the complexities of the issue are brilliantly portrait. Acting of each actor/actress is impressive. "Chand Roz" is very soulful song. Very good movie watching experience.

What a revolutionary film. It just hit the right chord with the audience especially youths, The narrative is quite intriguing which makes the audience glued to the screen.It's an absolute watch by all. The story is unusual and catchy.kudos to the entire team of Buddha In A Traffic.

Fantastic. brilliant, and one will easily connect to this movie(people who are more inclined towards politics)

Go find a Buddha In You.

Want to know what's actually happening in this country then go an watch it at least once.

"Corruption is an economic stimulant!! It's a catalyst for growth!!! It is like a tonic for an economy!! " The Naxalite movement began in 1967 with an uprising in Naxalbari, West Bengal, and was led by Charu Majumdar, who advocated for Mao's doctrine. The movement later led to the formation of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (Ref: Brittanica). The Maoist insurgency in India remains a significant challenge for the government. Between 2008 and 2013, 2,344 civilians, including adivasis (tribals), were killed in Naxalite-related violence, between 2013 and 2017, 1,441 adivasis were killed in Naxalite attacks and between 2018 and 2022, 542 adivasis were killed in Naxalite-related violence, However, the actual number could be higher, as many cases go unreported or are not documented properly. (Ref: NCST) In today's digital era, where social media platforms shape our opinions and influence our actions, a chilling tale of unwitting entanglement unfolds. An IIT graduate, pursuing his management degree, finds himself ensnared in the complex web of Maoist ideology without his knowledge or consent.

The movie directed by Vivek Agnihotri falls short of its potential. Some superfluous scenes overshadow its message, convincing performances by the cast but they fail to bring depth and nuance to the characters. Despite its timely and relevant theme, it loses its momentum in the second half, failing to capitalize on its thought-provoking premise. Film's potential to spark meaningful conversations and reflections is somewhat left unfulfilled! However, it is still worth a watch - just keep your expectations in check.
