Yesterday watched Rajneeti at Carousel ..... Thanks to Chris he persuaded me to accompany him and we made it to this hall.Its been almost a year and gosh !! I reallized Ive never been to Carousel even once before......Well Piccadelly was too close so had reasons to avoid a far off mall.Must however say that Indian INOXes or Theaters are definately at par with the best at any point of time.In Europe , in Africa and now Australia .....India must be back in whichever area ....when it comes to watching movies we are still at par with any of the other countries.....Reasons big enough for the Bollywood Industry which keeps thriving and boosting the Indian economy in a big way......
Ahh ..coming back to rajneeti I must say its a purely influenced out of mahabharata.Obviously I liked it because Mahbharata has always influenced me.Ajay Devgan who plays a role similar to Danveer Karna attracts pethos and sympathy in one.There were'nt any specific reasons to hate Manoj Bajpai's role. He plays Duryodhanas role in this movie , Ranbir plays Arjuna and Nana plays Krishna ( I remember he was named Brij Mohan )...Ahh forgot to mention Arjun Rampal ...he plays the ever snobbish and immoral Bhima and sexy Katrina plays a role simliar to Draupadi always being shared by brothers.....
The ending was as expected but then the ending looked more like a forced one .... with Prakash Jha hell bent on delivering immediate results to the anti hero.Perhaps he was too influenced by Mhabharatand time was a constraint..... All in all I would say the movie is watchable at least once for sure.
And before I end this topic I would like to mention that Duryodhana was not as bad as projected in our Television serials and Bhima was anyday the snobbish and unruly person.Kunti was a characterless lady and Arjuna was a successful person just because of the blessings of the Lord.Karna was always the best persona both in warfare and character alike...And just to add about Duryodhana's benevolence ..... Dont forget he was the only one among everyone who accepted and befriended a Suth Putra(Shudra or lower caste).... So who do you think is the justified emperor ? Yudhishtra or Duryodhana.....And yes of course the root cause for the battle was a woman - Draupadi who insulted and tauntingly referred to Duryodhana as a blind man's son who is also blind....... She is the real vamp......
