OK... Raajneeti is over hyped. Its not a great movie. Doesnt measure up to Jha's other movies such as Gangaajal.
In fact Raajneeti is a not-so-well-made bhelpuri of Godfather and Mahabharata. An american mafia saga mixed in with an indian epic!
But I must say it - the movie's unlikely star is Raajneeti's Sonny - Arjun Rampal! He is simply great in the movie and has done a brilliant job.
The movie belongs to Manoj Bajpai and Arjun Rampal. Nana Patekar and Ajay Devgan have sleep walked through their roles. Katrina Kaif was good in spots and Ranbir Kapoor is OK.
But the hype around the movie being a great story, well made movie etc was a bit too much for me... so thought I would throw in my view as well! :)
Its a good movie and it has ridden to greater success on the failure of Kite! Dunno how to explain it - but its a above-average hindi movie to hit the screens after a long time. No wonder its raked in the moolah! But its not a great movie... its just a hype wave everyone's caught up in!
But Arjun Rampal is fantastic!
