Cast and Performance
Each and every LEAD character crafted is well thought and well performed. Arun Rampal and Manoj Bajpai have stolen the show followed by Ranbir and Katrina. Ajay’s role lacks some proper crafting and thus disappoints a bit. Nana as a guide and Philosopher for Samar Pratap with his witty smile despite his limited dialogues won’t let you down. Naseeruddin Shah delivered well :_) and deserved more few scenes.
Music
Thou the movie has some sweet tracks but the director has chosen not to give separate place in the movie. They were either in the background or shorten in the favor of movie.
Direction
Prakash Jha has done remarkable job to manage such an ensemble cast still maintaining the story flow and justifying the characters.
Story and Screenplay
Story has no new element; it is Raajneeti’s screenplay with few good punches of twists and Lead Performances which have worked
In Last
The length of the movie pinches a bit and tests your patience But the Leads Performances; few punch of twists and a compelling story telling style of Prakash Jha surely made this Political Saga Watchable..
