Well the election season is around, so what was the best way to celebrate it? Obviously either to read a book celebrating the exercise in the biggest democracy of the world. Or watching a movie which celebrates the process. I chose the latter. So that is how I ended up watching Raajneeti.

The story is supposed to be the modern retelling of the epic Mahabharata. The epic is the story between the Pandavas and Kauravas. The situation is the same only that this revolves around 4 brothers. Two of them are deep into politics as they are carrying forward their family legacy. However two brothers are forced into the field of circumstances. Guiding them is their uncle who is supposedly portrayed on the character of Lord Krishna.

The movie has all the elements of a thriller and drama. It has deceit, killings , controversies and scandals . All the actors shine in this movie, especially Manoj Bajpayee who plays the antagonist. Watch out for his “karara jawaab” scene. Its worth imitating. Katrina Kaif also shines as Indu.

So overall the movie is an interesting watch. The twists and turns will keep you fixed in the seat. Celebrate the biggest festival called the elections by giving it a watch. Do share your favorite moments in the movie in the comments section.
