'''''Chakravyuha''''' ({{translation|Labyrinth}}) is a 2016 Indian [[Kannada]]-language [[action thriller film]] written and directed by [[M. Saravanan (film director)|M. Saravanan]] and produced by N. K. Lohith under the Sunshine Creations banner. An adaptation of Saravanan's own Tamil-language film ''[[Ivan Veramathiri]]'', the film stars [[Puneeth Rajkumar]], [[Rachita Ram]], and [[Arun Vijay]] in the lead roles, while [[Abhimanyu Singh]], [[Sadhu Kokila]], [[Bhavya]], and [[Rangayana Raghu]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/Movie-Review-Chakravyuha/articleshow/52046384.cms?|title=Movie Review: Chakravyuha|website=[[Bangalore Mirror]]|date=29 April 2016}}</ref> play supporting roles. [[S. Thaman]] composed the film's score and soundtrack. The movie was dubbed in Hindi with the same name by ''Shree International''. The key sequences of the screenplay (not found in the Tamil version) went on to be re-used in the Odia remake version ''[[Abhaya (film)|Abhaya]]''(2017).<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4XZwR7dOeE</ref>

==Plot==
Karnataka State law minister ([[Abhimanyu Singh]]) asks for an illegal quota in student admissions in Government Law College, but the new principal refuses. In order to remove the principal, he instigates violence in the law college campus using his men. One of the students manages to come out of the rubble, but he was badly wounded. Before fainting, he tells Lohith ([[Puneeth Rajkumar]]), a civil engineer, that the law minister is behind all this. Lohith, along with Sadhu ([[Sadhu Kokila]]), takes the student to the hospital, but the doctor said that he has blood loss. Lohith then takes Anjali ([[Rachita Ram]]), a college student. She then falls in love with him. She then donates her blood, but the next day, the student dies, and his mother ([[Sithara (actress)|Sithara]]) screams in public. Lohith takes this seriously and kidnaps Omkaar ([[Arun Vijay]]), the paroled-brother of the law minister, and houses him in an abandoned construction site with hands, legs and mouth duct-taped. The next day, Omkaar tries to escape, but Lohith disguises himself, thrashes Omkaar, and keeps him in another room.

The law minister tries to find Omkaar but to no avail. The former is arrested afterwards as he had given legal assurance for his brother's parole. Lohith leaves Omkaar, but then Omkaar decides to take revenge on him. When the police spot Omkaar, they chase him. Omkaar then stops Lohith and asks him for a lift. Lohith manages to subdue the police. Soon after, Lohith goes away, leaving Omkaar. Omkaar then realizes that Lohith was his kidnapper. Later, Lohith rejects Anjali. Though devastated, Anjali selflessly calls Omkaar and tells him that she knows the kidnapper. She then shows him an article that he crashed in a bike accident. Omkaar knew Anjali was lying, so he kidnaps her and brings her to the same building where Lohith had kept Omkaar for days. Meanwhile, ACP Raghu ([[Rangayana Raghu]]) starts interrogating the law minister. Just then, when the law minister tries to escape, Raghu shoots him. Omkaar challenges Lohith to save any people who are beloved to him. Lohith then reaches his home because he knows that Omkaar was about to kidnap his mother ([[Bhavya]]). Lohith thrashes the goons in the building that Anjali is kept hostage. Lohith manages to save Anjali. Suddenly, when he is taking her to the hospital, Omkaar tries to attack Lohith, but Raghu shoots and kills Omkaar.
