Netizens react as Vipul Amrutlal Shah and Adah Sharma drop 'Bastar: The Naxal Story' teaser

The first look teaser of Sudipto Sen and Vipul Shah’s highly awaited film ‘Bastar‘ is finally out and is extremely raw and political, to say the least. Featuring actress Adah Sharma in the lead role of IPS Neerja Madhavan, the teaser shows her going all rebellious against the Naxals at any cost. Said to be based on the true events of the naxal attacks in Chhattisgarh, the film shooting began in October 2023 and was wrapped very quickly with a release date set in March 2024.

Here are the reactions that have dropped on social media:

Time again its getting proved on how shameless @IndianExpress and their so called journalists are. Bloody everything revolves around setting a narrative for them. Such shameless journalism by the idiotic media

As the teaser plays, it introduces  Adah’s character, standing inside an office with a soldier-at-war look. “Pakistan me huye humare chaar yuddho me humare 8738 jawan shahid huye. Lekin kya aapko pata hai humare desh ke andar Naxaliyo ne 15000 se zyada jawano ki hatya ki hai?” she says further making bold claims like a reputed institution like JNU celebrating after soldiers’ death and “leftists, liberals, pseudo-intellectuals” planning to divide India.
