"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.

an eye opener movie for youth and a must watch movie of the decade. go for it and be the part of revolution. I am Buddha.... every Indian must watch this movie. Vivek Agnihotri has directed master piece. amazing music.. great song sang by Pallavi Joshi... ROhit Sharma has created the best music of the year.. Great editing wore done by Sattyajit Gazmer.... and over all 5 stars out of 5.... Requested to Vivek Sir to make such movies to open eyes of Indian Youth ... Proud to be an Indian and proud to be having great cinema like this.. I am with BUDDHA.. and YES.. I am BUDDHA.. Always looking forward for such kind of movies and this is must watch movie for every Indian who is inside the India or out side the India..
The director and actors did justice to the movie by their brilliant skills of direction , role-playing , usage of marvelous sound and visual effects . The title " Buddha in a Traffic Jam " is symbolic of the innovative idea aimed at enlightening the masses which however gets stalled in the traffic jam as it gets opposed by various quarters.
The movie blatantly exposed the grand nexus of left ideologues and extremists on ground fueling the war on the pretext of tribal welfare, but motivated by vested interests since they thwart any attempts which are aimed to alleviate the toiling tribal masses in real.
Vikram, a student of IndianSchool of Business is made to empathize with the cause of toiling tribal masses, but when he discovers that the problem is more of an economical than social problem, he innovates a business model that would benefit the tribal population directly by making them financially independent . The very defendants of tribal welfare then condemns and targets him , since anything that would make the tribal people better off would mean an end to their shallow ideological claims and interests. The dialogue by Professor Ranjan, " We want to remove poverty , but do not want the poor to become rich " exposed the farce claims in a nutshell.
Amazing scrip, direction and dialogue delivery.

There is a Buddha in each of us who is stuck in traffic jam of regressive societal norms. Watch this movie if you still have that fighter alive in you who disagrees to get defeated by obstacles. The film portrays the spirit of a true leader, a visionary who is unafraid to walk alone!
One of the most revolutionary films of the recent times. Great performances by Anupam Kher, Arunoday Singh, Mahie Gill, Pallavi Joshi and Aanchal Dwivedi. Each of them have put their heart and soul into the character.
I now understand why the movie rattles some sections of the society! Because it exposes their truth. I never knew our country is so deeply infected by Naxals. Watch it if you really want to know how these Leftists and Naxalities work! A huge round of applause for the director Vivek Agnihotri for showing the truth in the manner it should be shown, without polishing, in its pure raw form!
I believe that good cinemas need to earn good money so let us all support movies like Buddha In A Traffic Jam, Nil Battey Sannatta, Masaan. Such movies leave you motivated and ignite the fire within you! Must watch.
