Bastar: The Naxal Story box office collection: Adah Sharma starrer crashes down on its first Monday

After earning just around Rs 2 crore in its opening weekend, Adah Sharma starrer Bastar: The Naxal Story crashed down on its first Monday as it raked in merely Rs lakhs. With this negligible collection, the hard-hitting human drama has turned out to be a disappointing and forgettable affair at the box office.

Since Madgaon Express starring Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi, Avinash Tiwary and Nora Fatehi, which is directed by Kunal Kemmu and Randeep Hooda and Ankita Lokhande starrer Swatantra Veer Savarkar is arriving this Friday, Bastar: The Naxal Story will face solid crunch at the box office.

Also starring Indira Tiwari, Vijay Krishna, Shilpa Shukla, Yashpal Sharma, Subrat Dutta and Raima Sen, Bastar: The Naxal Story is directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Sharma, who previously collaborated with Adah Sharma for The Kerala Story.

Talking about the review, Firstpost gave Bastar 3 stars and wrote, “The movie shows the heavy political undertones, which are not only complicated but also very hard-hitting and unpleasant. There are several scenes, which will make you feel uncomfortable. While the tussle between Maoists and CRPFs is shown most intriguingly and realistically, it would have been better, if the Maoists’ side were present in a more elaborate way. The scenes related to JNU will definitely evoke some extreme emotions from you. Filmmaker Sudipto Sen has made a hard-hitting cinema and kudos to him for attempting this subject and showing it in the most realistic way possible.”
