Why was this movie made? Apparently, for 4
5 Cr. Collecting some 61L at box office and termed a disaster... A father produces movie to "launch" his son with 2 other family members (perhaps mother and brother), along with a small time producer, and well known and decent character actors, urvashi sharma and chak de star vidya malvade... All this but deemed to be a flop even in territories like eastern UP and Bihar where such movies still save their faces. The reason of it being flop was obviously the "hero" (because of his ugly and expressionless face), zero knowledge of acting and lastly because of hero's hair-dresser for that ugly hair style throughout the movie. The producers should be investigated on why they made the movie perhaps knowing well that they will not even recover 15% of the cost... Was that a hero? He's not good enough to be even an extra in the crowd. Who are those 25 other people who caused the rating for this movie go to 4.5? Hero's relatives? Embarrassing for actors like yashpal sharma, zakir hussain,akhilendra mishra and vidya malvade.

Chakradhaar: Entertaining Action film
Achyut_Prashast_Singh9 August 2015
Movie: Chakradhaar
Rating: 3/5
Usually it is believed that independent filmmakers don't know the true art of filmmaking, and neither do their films entertain. But this thing doesn't happen in the case of Chakradhaar- The film which introduces new hero Abishek Anand. It's true that the film is just good and could have been a lot better, but it's good that at least the filmmakers have done something that gets hold of the right nerve of the average cinegoer.
Abishek Anand has done well in the fights and a few scenes. However, he needs to improve on a few accounts, especially performance. Dialogue delivery is a bit weak, since the character of Pandit is very strong, energetic and angry, but his voice is a little meek to do justice to the character. Other actors, like Zakir Hussain, Darshan Jariwala, Yashpal Sharma etc do their parts well. However, a bit of overacting is provided by Akhilendra Mishra, whose few expressions will leave you laughing even when he's serious. Same with Abishek Anand, whose laughter does not portray his roughness as a hero and even looks funny to some extent.
Coming to story and screenplay, it's adequately done with. The climax of the film is really good. There are various links between a number of scenes, which make you feel good. The dialogues too are good for such an independent film. Besides, the film is OK in music department. The song Bin Tere is really impressive. However, other songs are not even worth humming. But the best thing is that the songs are not lengthy enough to hinder the flow of the film, and come only when required.
Coming to action, which is the main genre of this film, it's really cool and impressive, like the one in climax and few fights in first half of the film. The technical department is well handled and manages to leave a mark upon the viewer. However, despite all this, the film manages to shine only occasionally. The film's story presents the true social issues and sometimes, their solutions as well. But the film seems to be downed by a few poor performances and that too of the hero, whose always supposed to be the strength of the film. Thus many a times you get a feel in between as if you are watching a stranger's film.
Overall, Chakradhaar is a good effort by the makers, that caters to action buffs, and other action loving audiences. If you love action movies like me and can watch them without minding who the hero is, then Chakradhaar is for you. Worth a watch.
