Product Description
Raajneeti is a story about Indian politics. About Indian democracy. About Indian elections. Above all, it is the story of a few people who control the destiny of millions. It is the story of their unstoppable ambition, and their bitter and violent battle to achieve it. This is the story of people who understand power and know how to wield it at will.
It is the story of Bhasker Sanyal (Naseeruddin Shah), the fire brand leftist leader, as feared for his single handed ability to challenge the most powerful of leaders as he was respected for his political integrity. Until one private mistake of his hurtled him into a self imposed exile and spawned a secret consequence that shook the destiny of the political future of the state.
The film is hugely influenced by the epic story from the Indian religious history the Mahabharat, and is set in the milieu of contemporary electoral politics.

This is definitely not masala, this is an Indian "The Godfather" meets The Kennedys. It is shot on an epic scale, in realistically hot and dusty locations, with violence, corruption and hardly a pinch of romance or song.
Following the paralysing heart attack of the leader of a family-based political party, his sons and grandsons fight to take power, with assassinations, coups and revenge attacks. The plot twists like a snake so that you'll forgive one cliched coincidence obvious from the start. No character is black or white - just as you think "Ahah, he's the one behind the dreadful acts, he's the villain", someone else will appear as the manipulator behind the violence or the apparent villain will perform a redeeming act.
This is a strong ensemble piece including unexpectedly impressive performances from Arjun Rampal and Katrina Kaif so it seems almost unfair to single anyone out. However, for me the standouts were Ranbir Kapoor as the grandson with the PhD in poetry who is dragged into the bloody moil as seemingly the coldest hearted member of the family and Nana Patekar as his apparently passive uncle.
A gripping, bloodstained saga. Top quality English subtitles enhance the experience.
