We all knew what Prakash Jha is capable of, and by all i mean those who have seen Gangaajal,Apaharan,Dil dosti etc and Damul.
But in Rajneeti he perhaps for the first time assembles such a glittering cast and crew and each one gets a meaty role and does justification to their acts.
After a long time we get to see a movie which really is what a movie should be Great story,excellent narration,plots that fix like a jigsaw puzzle,n superb acting. So what if the movie can easily be related to THE MAHABHARATA with pandavas,krishna,duryodhan ,karna n kunti and to the book GODFATHER where its finally the youngest son(Michael Corleone) whom everyone thinks to be an outsider and is underestimated changes the game in the interpretation of modern day Arjun with Nana Patekar as Krishna to guide him. But everything is not so smooth as the games of dirty politics in a democracy is played just like the game on a chessboard where no second thoughts are given to remove a pawn or even if it might be the king himself.
Performance wise...everyone lives upto and even goes beyond expectations. Naseer is just superb in his role as a revolutionary even if it was small,Nana Patekar shows us why he's still regarded as one of the finest actors even when he doesn't has to speak much,Arjun Rampal ,Ajay Devgan and Manoj Vajpayee too hold their acts together.Katrina's lovely to watch sans much glamour and Ranbir Kapoor too portrays his journey from a rank outsider to a shrewd calculator of the game of politics brilliantly...
The music of the movie esp the background scores are at par the other aspects and having 4 composers for 4 diff songs in a single movie also works well
In all if you love good cinema and not those mindless ones, u r in for a really good treat my ratings 4.2/5 . . . NJOY!!
