"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.
