So recently I've taken to watching all of Ranbir Kapoor' s movies😆(oh sue me) And so ended up watching Raajneeti.
First up the entertainment value. It kept me gripped from the get go. From the illegitimate birth of Sooraj(Ajay Devgan) to the conniving ruthless man Samar(Ranbir Kapoor) becomes, it was an exciting movie.
Surprisingly I enjoyed Katrina's performance in the movie. One of her best, in my opinion. She was very good as Indu. I think she dubbed for herself? That really helped. Her equation with both Ranbir and Arjun was very good.
Coming to Prthiviraj (Arjun Rampal). I love the guy. Who can possibly not like Arjun Rampal?( I feel your need to rebut this😆)
The best part of the movie was his equation with Ranbir. Their on screen chemistry was something I greatly enjoyed. They both have great screen presence. And I really enjoyed their interaction.
On that note I'm looking forward to Roy!
Ajay Devgan also held his own right, as the rough Sooraj. I suppose he was symbolic of Karna from the Mahabarat.
Ranbir was great as the stone hearted, blood thirsty, cold Samar. Definitely praise worthy.
Nana Patekar who played the mentor Brij Gopal is also a worthy mention. I'm guessing he was Krishna in the tale.
As far critically examining the film is concerned. Not really going into politics but the film was very regressive in the sense it showed how women had to sleep their way to the top (someone quick tell me that girl who sleeps with Arjun, she's the one from that Disney show right? )
Also I didn't really enjoy the Sarah bits. It was very out of place. And frankly seemed like she was there only so that Ranbir could make out with her. 😆
Overall a very gripping tale. Apparently there's going to be a sequel .Excellent. I'm looking forward to it.
If you haven't watched, it's definitely worth a watch.
