Watching movies in one my favorite past time. So I thought why not write about them. I happened to watch Raajneeti recently. It is one among the good movies I have seen in recent past. Housefull was another movie which was good , but Housefull was a movie with lot of humor where as Raajneeti is a serious political drama.Most of the actors/actress in Rajneeti have done a very good job. I felt Manoj Bajpai, Ranbir Kapoor, Nana Patekar and Ajay Devagn have excelled in thier roles. Katrina Kaif has also done justice to her role.
The strongest points of the movie are its story, its presentation, the twists and turns in the movie and the the direction of movie.The story basically revolves around a big political family. The story is all about the rivalry between cousins in the heavy weight political family and their fights to be the most powerful and take the most powerful seat.
One thing which I observed is, the movie is in some ways similar to the epic "Mahabharat". The fight between cousins, one family getting completely destroyed at the end, a mother who gives birth to a child before marriage,the child being orphaned later,the same child getting into the rival political camp,the friendship between that child and the rival camps leader,mother asking the child to come back to her family during the rivalry as the orphaned turns out to be one of the strongest opponent. The orphaned child giving importance to friendship rather any other thing and finally giving his life for the sake of friendship.I felt all these events or points in the movie are very closely related to Mahabharat's story.
However I should say for all those who like watching movie with lot of political plots and with lot of actions Rajneeti is a must watch. It will not bore you even for a second. After all it has so many good actors like Nana Patekar , Ajay Devagan , Manoj Bajpai and Ranbir Kapoor.
