"Power Corrupts,and absolute power corrupts absolutely"
-Mahatma Gandhi
its said India has 3 religions-one, politics,two,cricket,and three Bollywood, people love to argue about these three things,everybody has their own opinion,and everybody considers themselves to be an expert in these 3 fields.
Traditionally politics has never been portrayed correctly in Bollywood,politicians are generally shown to be corrupt guys who come in between the hero and the heroine,Rajneeti too is about corrupt politicians,but deals with the matter in panache
Rajneeti combines two of the greatest epics of India, Mahabharata and the saga of Nehru Gandhi family,with a dash of Godfather,its one of those movies which will still be relevant after 10 years.Its a classic,another good one from the prakash jha camp.
All the actors deserve best actor nomination, be it Nana patekar,who played the part of Lord Krishna in the movie,Manoj "karara jawab denge"bajpai,Katrina kaif ,who for me did a mediocre job,Naseerudin Shah, who had a disappearing act in the movie,Ranbir Kapoor who played Arjun,Ajay Devgn as Karan, and my favorite bloke of wood turned actor Arjun"Ankhiya milaon kbi ankhiya churaon" rampal, who according to me was the reel version of Sanjay Gandhi.Arjun Rampal has grown immensely as an actor.
My 5 on 5 for this one,one of the mos hard hitting movie in recent times,intelligent cinema.after watching this movie,you will be disgusted and amazed by the power play in Indian politics ,missing it would be a crime.
ADIOS AMIGOS!!!!
