Dirty Game…Nicely played…



Editorials that I’ve been reading lately term it as a dirty mind game…for decorating their subject matter with jugglery of words I guess…


So, Politics it is…and RAAJNEETI showed it well…following all rules (of the game).


Intermixing the stories from Mahabharata, Gandhi family’s history and the M.P. politics, Prakash Jha has successfully shown not so much about what was, but about what is, and what actually should have been…


While showing the political journey of Samar(Ranbir Kapoor), he has shown a blend of ego conflicts, clashing interests, savagely bloodshed and an intelligent guy’s moral values in an advanced state of decay…


An excellent piece of work after a very long time and absolutely mind boggling due to expected, yet dramatic series of events which unfold as the movie proceeds…


To quote a dialogue of Nana Patekar from the movie: Raajneeti mein faisale sahi ya galat nahi hote.Unka mol to bus maksad poora karne ke liye hota hai.Chahe jaise bhi ho. 

"There is no right or wrong in politics.Sometimes to make peace you have to fight a war."
