Movie Review: Chakravyuha

Director: M. Saravanan

Cast: Puneeth Rajkumar, Rachitha Ram, Arun Vijay, Abhimanyu Singh, Bhavya, Sadhu Kokila
 

Chakravyuha is the remake of Tamil movie, Ivan Veramathiri. The film deals with a common man going against the corrupt police and political system. The best part about the film is the screenplay. The pace of the film is quick which leaves no space for any dull moment. There is action, romance, comedy and is a complete entertainer for Puneeth Rajkumar fans.

It all begins with law minister Sadashivayya ( Abhimanyu Singh) demanding seats for his aides in a law college. But the strict principal refuses to budge. The angry minister creates chaos in the college premises resulting in the death of a student. Lohith (Puneeth Rajkumar), who is witness to the events, decides to take on the minister and his brother Omkar (Arun Vijay), who is involved in the violence. He kidnaps him and keeps him isolated in a building which is under construction. However, Omkar manages to escape. Meanwhile, the minister is arrested and imprisoned. Omkar decides to take revenge on Lohith and kidnaps his lover Anjali (Rachitha Ram). How Lohith saves the girl and takes on the goons is rest of the story.


Full marks to Puneeth Rajkumar who has excelled in romance and action sequences. Rachitha Ram has done justice to her role with a brilliant performance. However, it is Arun Vijay as Omkar who's a show stealer. He takes the cake as well as the bakery. Cinematography, background music and action sequences by Stunt Shiva are other highlights of the movie.
