Bastar: The Naxal Story (2024) is an Indian Hindi-language political thriller directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah. The film stars Adah Sharma, Indira Tiwari, and Vijay Krishna, and delves into the Naxalite–Maoist insurgency in the Bastar district of Chhattisgarh, drawing inspiration from real-life incidents, including the April 2010 Maoist attack in Dantewada.
Set against the backdrop of the Naxalite movement, the narrative follows I.G. Neerja Mahadvan (Adah Sharma), a resolute police officer known for her uncompromising stance against Naxalites. Her relentless operations have led to significant successes but have also sparked controversies, with allegations of targeting innocents. As inquiries into her methods intensify, Neerja becomes a prime target for Naxal rebels who view her as a formidable obstacle. Simultaneously, political figures like Minister Rajendra Karma and activists such as Vanya Roy exploit the volatile situation, each pursuing their own agendas. The film intricately portrays the complex dynamics between law enforcement, insurgents, politicians, and civilians in a region fraught with conflict.
