Raajneeti

This movie, a Prakash Jha film made waves early on since it seemed Katrina was portraying Sonia Gandhi. However false that part was, it sure made everyone want to see the movie. Yes, you do go with lots of expectations and you will not be disappointed.



There are plenty of characters in the movie and they are well woven into the story. You will not feel that any character is un-needed. The plot is good and it seems a little exaggerated with the violence, but I've heard its true in some places of India. The storytelling keeps you want to keep watching. The screenplay is nicely done.The background score compliments the ongoing sentiment in the movie. The best scene I'd say, is the blast when Arjun Rampal is trying hard to save Sarah Thompson. I actually had goosebumps.

Lets move towards cast and their acting skills now. Manoj Bajpai was too natural. Nana Patekar has done a different role where he has to keep calm and keep all the characters calm too.he has done it rather well. Arjun Rampal can act well and he has proven his acting skills. Ranbir always does act well and he does not disappoint you. Katrina does not look as bad as I had expected her to be. She has tried her best to do justice to the character, only her accent gives her away in the scene where she has to give a speech. Rest she does not have much of a role. Ajay Devgan, I didn't really appreciate his acting. I have seen him do better in Gangajal, Yuva. Here he just looks rather out of place as far as acting skills are concerned. Possibly because he was always in the same frame as Manoj Bajpai, and his acting is way too superior.

All in all, I'd say its a superb movie that deserves a watch! enjoy!
