According to a review by Jagran English, "'Bastar: The Naxal Story' is a must-watch movie based on real-life events. Through narratives like ‘Bastar’ we are beckoned to delve beyond the surface, to confront the realities that evade easy conversation, and to seek a deeper understanding of the forces that shape our world. Movies of this caliber should not be overlooked, but if you're not inclined towards violent content, then this particular film may not suit your preferences.”
