Prakash Jha has been one of the finest exponents of hard-hitting cinema dealing with the fundamentalist issues surrounding us.
He has given us , Gangajal to Mrityudand to Aparahan , true eye-opener flicks.
This time he as compromised a little in going commercial yet the building blocks remain intact.
Rajneeti is a complete rehash of Godfather meets Mahabharata yet a political thriller never seen before.
Why Rajneeti should not be missed ?
- Ranbir and Katrina doing off-beat non-popcorn stuff.
- In Rajneeti, Brij Gopal (Nana Patekar) plays a role inspired by Lord Krishna who guides Ranbir Kapoor who plays a role derived from the legendary character of Arjuna, Veerendra (Manoj Bajpai) plays the evil Duryodhana and Ajay Devgan is Karna. All characters are well fleshed out and what makes Rajneeti interesting is the fact that all characters have grey shades.
- The screenplay in the first half is gripping to say the least & keeps the audience hooked.
- Performances ar exemplary , Nana Patekar and Manoj Bajpai are stupendous , Ranbir and Arjun are the surprise packags.
- Ajay Devgan expresses with the intensity he is known for and Katrina does play her part well.
Negatives?
- Length of the movie is tad long and becomes very predictable in the second half.
- Music is just ok.
- Kansa - Kunti track has no heart , and becomes comical!
On the whole , Prakash Jha has given us a compelling film in recent time.
Go for it!!

I like your rating system. Is it possible to have a histogram to select a particular rating and then see which movies fit the criteria?
