Chakravyuh is a thriller movie that revolves around the story of two best friends, Adil Khan (Arjun Rampal) and Kabir (Abhay Deol), who take on a dangerous mission to infiltrate and bring down a Maoist organization in Nandighat. Adil, a highly decorated police officer, is tasked with capturing Rajan (Manoj Bajpayee), the leader of the Maoists, while Kabir goes undercover as an informant to gather information and help Adil in his mission. As Kabir delves deeper into the Maoist movement, he begins to identify with their cause and starts to question his loyalty to Adil and the government. Meanwhile, Adil's wife Rhea (Esha Gupta), who is also an IPS officer, supports her husband's mission but is concerned about Kabir's increasing involvement with the Maoists.
