“ … deCODE RED is a therapeutic journey back in turbulent times, with a unique ringside view on Naxalism. It’s a moving chronicle of adventure, human conflict, vendetta, and violence inside the melting pot of a large political event. Amarnath Jha’s presentation successfully isolates the clashing perspectives of activists, police, political establishment and media in a difficult multi-polar conflict, with objectivity and without bias for any one of them.
They say time is the biggest healer. Hope with this re-living of the Jehanabad Jailbreak event, the pain and suffering caused to humanity around it heals with time…. An engaging page turner…”
-Abhinav Singh Kashyap,
Indian film-maker who directed blockbuster film Dabangg.
deCODE RED packs a substantial punch combining geo-politics of Ultra Left with pacy entertainment. A political-thriller shows slick management of plot and narrative.

Amarnath Jha
“Writing anything and everything to live – living to write the story for the screen,” – this is how young author Amarnath Jha is quintessentially described according to his Facebook and Twitter accounts!
He was born in an anonymous remote hamlet, Jhanjharpur in Bihar. Culturally and historically this part of the world is called Mithila and, since childhood, Amarnath evolved as a true ambassador of rich Maithili culture.
After wrapping up his school education in Bihar, Amarnath went off to Delhi for his higher education - Delhi University to be precise. Along with academics, his unrelenting passion for literature and art got him to the propinquity of theatre legends like Habib Tanvir and Usha Ganguli. They moulded young Amarnath like a steadfast artist – who, in due course of time, evolved as a theatre activist and eventually into a filmmaker. He specialized in film writing.
Thus began his life in Mumbai, erstwhile Bombay! He sharpened his cinematic skills through many years while working for different television channels and production houses.
Presently, he is busy writing several scripts with some renowned filmmakers in the Indian film industry and a couple of new books are on the way – justifying his passion for telling stories.
