Review of Rajneeti

Rajneeti can be seen as the modern Mahabharata where the fight for power is shown. Everything is fair in love and war; Rajneeti has the same theme. Everything is fair in the modern politics. Saama, daana, dand, bhed are not enough to win the fight and where to win even love can become a game. That’s the theme of the movie.

Ranbir Kapoor has shown that he can be a good actor even in a serious role. Manoj Bajpayee, Ajay Devgan and Nana Patekar as usual have done a good job. Infact it was good to see Manoj Bajpayee doing some meaningful role after a long time. Arjun Rampal for a change has done justice with his part. Nikhila Trikha who plays the role of Ranbir’s mother in the movie needs to work a lot on her acting skills. That Bihari accent was missing in her dialogue delivery. Shruti Seth is a wonderful TV actress and her acting talent in the movie is appreciable. The foreign actress, Sarah Thompson, is the love interest of Ranbir in the movie and in her part she has done a good job. Katrina Kaif as usual looks beautiful in the movie and played her part well. I wont say Naseeruddin Shah has done a magnificent job maybe because he is there for only a small portion of the movie but he is good in that small portion also.

Now as I have already stated earlier Rajneeti is modern Mahabharata so here is a comparison of the cast:-

• Ranbir Kapoor is Arjun in the movie
• Arjun Rampal can be compared with Yudishthir
• Manoj Bajpayee has been portrayed as Duryodhan
• Ajay Devgan is the danveer Karn
• Best is Nana Patekar who plays Krishna in the movie

The music of the movie is already in the chart busters and personally I likeMora Piya and Bheegi Si Bhagi Si songs a lot.

Even though the star cast is strong and everyone has played their part well somewhere I did not really enjoy the movie. Especially second half has a lot of violence and brutal killings. My overall rating for the movie would be 3/5.
