Rajneeti is a movie based on Indian politics showing the dirt in the same. The height of cruelty is also shown. The relentless thirst for the power to be the president of the party takes away the lives of the loved ones. The movie starts with a girl having an affair with her teacher and ends up giving birth to a baby boy. This boy born out of illicit relationship is thrown in the Ganges because neither that girl is the only daughter of the famous politician against whom her teacher and herself, used to protest. But when the same girl’s sons are losing the game, then at that time the girl’s brother takes her to the son to win him in her sons side. One can think that in a country where in a mother’s love is considered so pious that it can only be got from a mother. Lots of praises have been sung in mother’s love but even that is not spared. What’s the character of that woman who throws away the boy in Ganges to save her father’s and her face?
There is no place for a mother’s love and the worst depicted is the height to which a woman has to fall down to save a man’s reputation. Its just a quicksand in which a man loses everything his pride, love, family in the name of power in politics.
It is known that a father and daughter relationship is unique; in a way that father knows whats the girl’s likes and dislikes. Knowing that Indu loves Samar Pratap who is the youger brother of Prithviraj. But the father takes the advantage of Prithviraj’s financial loss and puts forward the condition that Indu will marry the man who becomes the chief minister, then only, he will fund the party for the canvassing before the elections.
Well even the younger brother is at fault here. At first, he confesses his love for Indu but later on, marries her to his elder brother, Prithviraj. Samar Pratap then plays a game to avenge his father’s death and in the meanwhile he loses his love life, Sara and Prithviraj. Indu is at great loss because days before she finds Prithviraj’s love for her. Samar Pratap decides to back to US to complete his PhD so he urges Indu to fight the elections. After the death of Prithviraj and Sara, Brij Gopal comes to know the reality of Suraj Kumar (illicit son of Prithviraj’s mother) so Brij Gopal doesn’t kill him but Samar Pratap plays yet another game and kill both Virendra Pratap and Suraj Kumar.
So the relationship between Suraj Kumar and Samar Pratap
So in other words, politics is such a game that it’s like playing a baccarat game. Here ppl go on throwing money unless their pockets are out and have no way out then only they go for a show of the cards. By the time the cards are shown one of them is sure to win and he does the show only when he guesses his win win situation.
A woman party worker uses her feminine powers to ensure that she gets a ticket to fight the elections. When this did not happen, she joined Virendra Pratap’s side and confessed in front of media that Prithviraj Pratap raped her.
In the Indian scriptures, a woman is highly placed wherein her power is used to seduce her lover but in moern day politics in India it happens everyday.
One thinks that how many times a girl, a daughter, a mother and a woman has to sacrifice her emotions, love, so that to keep the face of the male dominating her life. Any ordinary man cannot think of marrying someone else’s girlfriend nor can he allow his wife to sleep with other men so as to do his business successfully but since ages this kind of dirt is present in the Indian politics right from Nehru’s time.
There are enormous times of women questioning the male honesty. Indu does go to Samar Pratap to start a relationship when she comes to know that Prithviraj is not loving her but then when she comes to know that Sara is in his life then Indu finds her way out to love Prithviraj. But till the end, both remain faithful to their lovers. Samar returns to US with Sara’s mother after Sara’s death. Indu is pregnant with Prithviraj’s baby. That’s great if that happens in real life. I mean a girl only marrys the man who becomes Chief Minister. I mean what kind of male dominancy are we Indian women allowing and sacrificing even that illicit child from an married girl.
The overall cinematography and the costumes of the main characters are well addressed to the height of perfection. Actually the plot set out in the single party is also unique. It’s actually like palying a game of chess and using equal intelligence on the either side to get the power. The main character in this is Samar Pratap and how he gets back the power in his father’s name.
