Rajneeti- utter crap...

A good director does not ensures that every movie he makes would be gold. Same is the case with Rajneeti. This may be my lone opinion though. The movie is said to have derives inspiration from Mahabharata and the Hollywood classic Godfather. Now for me Godfather is sacrosanct and if even you hint that movie is similar, you invite trouble. The plot is not at all convincing and most of the characters are not developed fully. For instance
1) The bond between Ajay Devgan and Manoj Vajpayee is not convincing.
2) Ajay Devgan looks like lost interest in the movie.
3) Katrina Kaif can only look pretty and can never act..please spare us.
4) Ranbir Kapoor looks stupid while smoking and dialogue delivering. He misses that intensity required for his role.
5) The important scenes like the scene between Ajay Devgan and his mother is plain stupid. Out of nowhere both of them are talking in hindi that is straight of Mahabharata.
6) The scene where Arjun Rampal and Sarah dies missed that tragic or shocking touch. It just misses the emotion, may be it was the background music or lack of it.

The only good thing about this was Nana Patekar who had a great role and delivered it with full justice. Manoj Vajpayee is also good.

Why is this movie given a 4 star by major dailies, I fail to understand. Prakash Jha is a good director and so are the main leads of this movie but that does not mean that they will take things for granted.

The basic storyline was good, it could have been developed into a better screenplay.
I guess I am the only one who feels this way...but somehow it just does not strike any emotional chord.
