Raajneeti To me‚ Rajneeti is a human drama‚ a complex game that people indulge in to achieve power and how this greed envelopes them and transforms them into ruthless and conniving humans. I admit‚ it takes time for the story to sink in‚ but slowly and steadily‚ you get sucked into a world that’s dark‚ dangerous and demonish. The attire may be white‚ but the deeds are grey or black. Rajneeti is not only Mahabharata‚ but also the Godfather. Despite knowing the Mahabharata or Godfather‚ one is

Even though all the babies were born to different social environments and economic statuses‚ the parents wanted their child to be safe and provided what they perceived to be the best basic needs. The film shows the
