Rajneeti script was a balanced mix of Mahabharata and Godfather, but it was supported by average dialogs and poor performance by Ranbir Kapoor. There are some strong performances given by Nana Patekar, Ajay Devegan and a very small but powerful one by Naseeruddin Shah.
The first half of movie successfully portrayed a powerful political family's internal rivalry also India's current political condition where local satraps are the real power players in a region.
In second half movie falls apart, and gets unrealistic. Be it politicians themselves doing the work of their goons or classical Hindi dialogs or revelation of "neeti"(rule of war) by "Krishna" (Nana Patekar) to "Arjun" ("Ranbeer Kapoor").Latter 2 over relate the theme to Mahabharata. I will give this movie 7/10. It would have got better but near the end of the movies one doesn't care who dies and who wins. Secondly there are sex scenes and apart from one b/w shruti seth and Arjun none is relevant to story
