People of India, welcome to the grand general elections of 2010 called RAJNEETI.
These elections will not harm you personal and social life, but will surely make an impact on your entertainment lives. We are preparing for the elections but the pre-election controversies have already happened. A certificate controversy from the Film Ministry Board or adaptation of character of Mother of Nation! It's certainly a hyped, controversial and a big huge multi-starred film. So we do have it in real life, our very great politicians are busy increasing corruption and all their own mad things.
So does RAJNEETI really looks on these politics? Yes. Does it looks effectively? Partly! It dosen't to a greater extent because it has something to tell which it cannot tell everything. And it does follow MAHABHARATA and SARKAR. Also does it showcases Bollywood formulaic cliches at every moment. But it does makes a sweeping impact on us with it's brilliant cast, the biggest and only reason to watch or vote for these general elections.
Prakash Jha much known for his hard hitting 2003 Gangajal and 2005 Apaharan gets off right with a big casted RAJNEETI much hyed[mentioned already]. Now with luck in hands, does he hits the note? And does this much awaited works? Mr. Jha, it works, but it's needs to be showcased like MAHABHARATA for days and days to work!
It's better to know first who the contestants are-
Contestants -
Samar Pratap( Ranbir Kapoor), Prithvi Pratap(Arjun Rampal), Veerendra Pratap(Manoj Bajpai), Sooraj Kumar(Ajay Devgan), Brij Gopa(lNana Patekar), Bhaskar Sanyal(Naserruddin Shah) Indu Pratap(Katrina Kaif)
So these contestants will fight the big throne for the elections but before, lets flash back!
We begin with an interesting narrative of Sooraj brought up in a dalit family and inspired from Mahabharata. Then lets go to Prithvi Pratap, the heir of our Congress or Rashtravaadi party. His younger brother, Samar, miles away doing a PhD is ultimately made involved in the corrupt adventure. Then their is Veerendra, their own cousin who can everything to win. We have Indu who falls for Samar who has girlfriend Sarah. And then are Bhaskar appearing and Brij helping Indu and Samar.
Doesn't this appears confusing in a conflict? So I already cleared the names above. RAJNEETI has a share of these confused moments very early and ultimately, Jha uses voiceover to narrate the story. Each time you aren't out, a new twist is introduced. Even though, the first half doesn't bores.
t's in the double hour, the film gets too madly on itself. Grudging much focus on political speeches, romance the film itself loses hands. From those boring and non-ending dialogues beginning from Rajneeti Mein. it makes an outdated and over imaginated political scenario. And then always using Bollywood tragedies and inspirations, RAJNEETI gets excessively long for these parts.
RAJNEETI needs not to be a lame movie, it has all standards to make out and right-intentions to focus out, only if Jha would have made it simpler, it would have been a little better. Even though, it does has a worth-a-watch factor.
Prakash Jha'ssincere attempts to showcase the political scenario successes to a big time. But only, if he had made it a little lighter and edited a little length. His intentions are well attempted and also narrates it in a cellular manner, but doesn't successes in some manner.
Does the screenplay provides enough space? Certainly not, but it does makes you go deep in the film.
Ranbir's shift from his childish roles to a well matured role works a big way. Never does he dissapoints in the film and enacts his role very well.
Arjun Rampal is in form, Man! He has shown that he isn't a dull one, but an actor, a perfect actor.
Katrina's efforts for the film are visible wonderfully. Her Hindi, manically spoked in a lavish manner that may be inspired from someone but has her role fully justified.
Nana and Naseeruddin are always brilliant actors. But Jha underestimated them this time and keeps them much in a supporting role.
However, the one I find the finest is Manoj Bajpai. He is surpirising, in his every scene makes an eye-watching impact and surely steals the show!
RAJNEETI has all to watch because of these sparkling performances. You can off the minor flaws leaving aside them and focusing more on the characters.
So do I recommend you to watch RAJNEETI? Of course, because everyone has to vote in the elections. The only difference, below 18 also allowed!
From audiences to RAJNEETI, *Karara Jawab Milega!
