Puneeth Rajkumar's "Chakravyuha" marks the directorial debut of Tamil filmmaker M Saravanan in Sandalwood. The movie is a remake of his Kollywood flick "Ivan Veramathiri," which starred Vikram Prabhu and Surabhi.
Rachita Ram has paired up with Puneeth Rajkumar for the first time. Tamil actor Arun Vijay is entering Kannada films as a baddie in "Chakravyuha," which also has Sadhu Kokila, Abhimanyu Singh, Bhavya, Rangayana Raghu and others in the cast.
"Chakravyuha" has the music of popular Tamil/Telugu composer S Thaman. A few songs, including "Geleya Geleya," have impressed the audience. The trailer and other promos have evoked lots of curiosity about the film. Hence, there are high expectations from the Kannada flick.
The movie tells the story of an ordinary man turning into a vigilante. The law minister incites violence in a college campus that kills three and leaves many injured. The police fail to take action on those behind the incident. It is then that an unemployed youth rises to the occasion to punish the offenders.
The hero employs a unique idea to seek revenge against the law minister, and what he does is the crux of the story.

Cineloka.co.in wrote: #Chakravyuha - Good thriller, Climax is bit dramatic. Tailor made role for Power Star. @arunvijayno1 was too good. Worth a dekko - 3.5/5.
Interval. It was engaging. Romance part could have been better. BGM by @MusicThaman was too good
Movie is going at a good pace. #GelayaGelaya Song now. The Super Dancer Appu takes the center stage now. Wonderful choreography.
Team Thank #AbhinayaChakravarthy @KicchaSudeep & #JnrNTR in the title card.
Praveen Raju posted: #Chakravyuha Originality in the movie was missing which I think should be attributed to #Remake. Otherwise a good watch.
#Chakravyuha a good watch, an average budget movie with a good message. All characters have come well, Villain's acting commendable.
Priyanka tweeted: #Chakravyuha is a complete commercial package with ample of actions to make mass happy. The narration is good though the story is predictabl
#Chakravyuha has a message and its bonus for the audience. #PuneethRajkumar strikes chord...N whistle podu for @arunvijayno1
Romance b/w #PuneethRajkumar and #RachitaRam is speed breaker. Rating 3/5. #Chakravyuha
BlackMass tweeted: No solid content in d movie. Uneven screenplay . Zigzag between storyline. Neither with social message nor a romantic flick #ChakravyuhaDay.
