Rajneeti: Review

 

I watched Rajneeti yesterday and I have to say, it completely sold me. Well many of us know that Politics is all about big business and big money. Rajneeti is a political melodrama about one big family who fight to gain power and supremacy. Though inspired from Mahabharata, you find it difficult to relate some of the characters of the movie to the actual epic story. The entire plot is carried out by some exquisite performances, with the lion share of the acting from Ranbir, Arjun Rampal and Katrina. Brilliant performances by Manoj Bajpai and Ajay devagan. The youngest of the actors Ranbir is at his best. Prakash Jha's Direction is really top notch because to have these many characters and not to loose track at any point with them, is commendable. The movie is quite lengthy with no songs but there hasn’t been a dull or lighter moment. Not to expect much from Katrina, and after her last speech in the movie, I will prefer her watching in the aam ras add than in a serious movie like this. The story is fast paced and has enough twists and turns to keep the viewer entertained. The performances are power-packed. Arjun Rampal is at his best and is looking handsome as well in that crisp-white Kurta Pyjama. 'Rajneeti' succeeds in holding you to the seat for almost 90% of the 2 hours and 50 minutes length of the movie. It should be seen as a serious movie and its been long time since we had such a high voltage bollywood melodrama epic.
