A couple of unknown facts about Rajneeti:
*Ajay was offered Manoj's role and vice-versa, but Ajay wanted to play the character of 'Suraj Kumar'.
*Arjun Rampal's role was originally offered to Sanjay Dutt. But he backed out last minute due to some reasons.
*The original length of the film was trimmed by almost 20mins, 3 days before the release. The worst affected charaters due to this were Nasser bhai and Shruti Seth.

What does "Jeyesth" mean?

Brilliant performances by all the actors.

I have heard that a lot of shooting for Rajneeti has happened in Bhopal. Is it true ?

Any particular reason for shooting the movie in Bhopal ?

Reasons : Not worth discussing.

This is one rating that I just couldn't figure, stomach or digest

Was it a rating given just for the heck of it???

The movie does start on a confusing note

The story is broadly based on Characters from Mahabharat & Ranbir's character follows the GodFather path But hats of to Prakash Jha to incorporate these 2 stories into this one.

Brilliant performances by all the actors.

@NC- Your review doesnt match with your rating

Rating 4/5

Saw it last night.
My review is the same as above and the rating too.

End could had been better but a worth watch indeed.

Watched 13B. Though throughout the movie, the lip sync was out of sync for a good 1 second.

The movie was engrossing and loved the way Madhavan and Neetu Chandra Acted.

Rating = 8/10.

+1. One of the better horror/thriller movie in recent times. Truly worth watching.

@Suman my review of Rajneeti is not to attract any kind of attention but purely my view on the movie. You like some you dislike some thats the way it works.

I remember the following songs where there have been some rare combinations of singers:

Batoon Batoon Mein (starring Amol Patekar and Tina Munim): Kishore Kumar and Amit Kumar, the father-son duo have lent their voices to Amol Palekar in this movie. A rare occurrence.

Amar Akbar Anthony (starring Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Rishi Kapoor): The song 'Humko Tumse Ho Gaya Hai Pyaar Kya Kare' that's filmed on all the three lead couples in the film has been sung by Kishore Kumar, Mohd. Rafi, Mukesh and Lata Mangeshkar - arguably the top four playback singers in the Indian cinema.

Desh Premi (starring Amitabh Bachchan, Navin Nishchol): The duo have a song 'Ja Jaldi Bhag Ja', which is sung by Kishore Kumar and Amit Kumar, the father-son duo. A rarity. Though there is at least one more song these two have sung together, along with Asha Bhosle.

In fact, if I remember correctly, Kishore Kumar - Amit Kumar duo has acted in the movie "Door Gagan Ki Chaaon mein".

ghodlur · 15th June 2010, 11:49

There is one song which I remember - Tum bin jao kahan sung by Mohd Rafi and Kishore kumar in a Shashi Kapoor, Asha Parekh starrer - Pyar ka Mausam. Mohd Rafi sang for Bharat Bhushan who plays father & Kishore Kumar sang for Shashi Kapoor whom plays the son in the film.
I sing it to my wife on many occassions

Yes Rohan Its true, Well reason would be best known to Prakash Jha but he had shooted in Bhopal earlier too for Shool so I believe he got all the necessary places/locations for Rajneeti in Bhopal & hence the selection.

I believe almost 95% of the movie, if not 100%, is shot in Bhopal

normally_crazy · 15th June 2010, 13:45

I thought it was shot in Wai ?

That was Gangaajal for sure from the extra shots when it was aired on Sony/MAX.
