While delivering food in a forest area in Andhra Pradesh, impoverished Narasimha is held against his will by a band of Naxalites led by Velu, and forced to join them. He is anxious to collect his dues and return home to his wife, Uma; daughter, Chinna; and son, Mohan, but Velu keeps on putting it off. Narasimha gets to know and sympathize with members of this band, and befriends Lakshmi, who was gang-raped by several policemen. He is then asked to prove his loyalty by killing an informant/plainclothes police inspector - which he does - and even accompanies the band on an assault on a school, resulting in the death of some children. Traumatized after this incident, he decides to flee - and it is this decision that will not only estrange him from his family but also force him to be on the run from the band as well as the police.

| Maven's NestNora Lee MandelBroadly uses the universality of melodramatic emotions to overwhelm specifically set moral and violent battles. |
| New York TimesRachel SaltzThe film, much of it set in a rebel camp in Andhra Pradesh, seems torn between two storytelling modes: episodic with a documentary flavor and action-driven pulp. It makes a hash of both. |
| Slant MagazineAdam KelemanRed Alert overtly hammers away ideas about corrupt bureaucracy squashing the little man. |
| User ReviewAkshay RVery interesting film well written and worth the watch |

| User ReviewUrmilesh DThough he turns in an earnest performance, Suniel Shetty is just not built to play a poor farmer. The movie starts off okay, but then peters out - first into predictable territory and then towards the end into a farce. It raises some important questions but offers no answers. One of the most awkward of those questions is - 'What was Naseeruddin Shah doing in this movie?' |
| User ReviewRaju SDrama, Harsh reality, a bit boring! - About a harsh reality of (Nexal Movement) how Farmers (land) have been getting exploited by their local Landlords (& have to Fight for Food, Education, & Land)! - Moral: Sometimes Educated learn from Uneducated (Violence is never an answer)! |
