Hello @kartik,

You can try this:

from django.views.generic import RedirectView

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^some-page/$', RedirectView.as_view(url='/')),
    ...

In above example '/' means it will redirect to index page, where you can add any url patterns also.

Hope it helps!!
Thank you!
