Raajneeti (2010)

Genre:Drama/Crime
Raajneeti, writer-director Prakash Jha’s sprawling portrait of a political family is a mixed bag of all emotions, crime, drama, romance.The first half had a propulsive movement but later on it becomes inert at the second half.There are strong performances seen by Ranbir Kapoor , Arjun Rampal, Nana Patekar, Manoj Bakpai(Mesmerizing).Rajneeti is a film with ambition a nd scale but it works in fits and spurts. Jha’s political epic is too busy and bumpy and never quite fulfils the potential inherent in the story. Rajneeti sources much from Mahabarata where every other person is a cousin and relative to each other. Ajay Devgan who is the Karna of the movie is deprived by his mother during his birth and later on brought up in a Dalit Family. Soon within the next 15 mins Jha makes no mistake but tells the whole relationship between the starcast by a narrator.Samar played by Ranbir kapoor has shown some impeccable performance where on one end he is a mature PhD Learning guy and then soon who gets sucked into the vicious political family rivalry.Manoj Bajpai and Rampal are one the characters who have worked extremely good and they have totally nailed the role.Nana Patekar acts as Krishna who is the path finder. Rajneeti is a 3 hour long movie which would have been scaled down to 15 mins less. But a Movie with such a huge star cast really needs time to show as what is really happening in the movie. This is one of the Good movies i would recommend to watch because its got a perfect political essence with huge number of twists.

Rating: 3/5- GOOD
