Abstract

Naxalism has become a menace, assumed gigantic proportions, and become difficult to contain. Naxalism has donned different roles depending on the geopolitical, social, and economic conditions. India is in a peculiar disposition to address Naxalism, which is rampant, largely fueled externally and internally by way of violence, extortion, sympathisers, and advocacies in the form of urban Naxals. This chapter will discuss how Naxalism is widespread in India and the way it is depicted in Indian movies in general and Telugu movies in particular. It is an attempt to bring to the fore what is compelling for people to resort to Naxalism, delving upon the framework of Bazinian realist, psychoanalytic, and ideological film theories.
