Raajneeti All Set To Emerge A Blockbuster
8 june 2010

Raajneeti held up very well on Monday with around 6.25 crore nett business. This takes the four day business of the film to 40.25 crore nett. The film is set to emerge a big blockbuster in India and even has a chance to do All Time Blockbuster business.

The first week nett total should be in the 54-55 crore range and with no competition in week two the film will have a very healthy second week. North India is super strong with just 30% drop from Friday.

Although its too early to tell, looking at the acceptance and trending of the film it would be no surprise if the finished with a lifetime nett total of around 90-100 crore. In terms of distributor share this would put it around the 50 crore mark with only Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Gadar, Ghajini and Three Idiots ahead in the all time list.

Very impressive film! Highly recommmeded. The first half just takes your breath away while as the second is a little stale.
Nice way of putting a mixture of Mahabharata and The Godfather with a backdrop of politics which makes the film
so very entertaining. Good performances by the cast, all done well (in this order):

Manoj Bajpai - Extraordinary
Ajay Devgan - Wonderful
Nana Patekar - Class act
Ranbir Kapoor - Gets better with each film
Arjun Rampal - Very decent
Katrina Kaif - Improving
Naseeruddin Shah - Okay. Very breif role

My take: 4 out 5

P.S there are many scenes in the film cut from the UK version as some scenes just go unexplained maybe due to violence


I was under the impression that the plot is from real life story?? Perhaps from Indira Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Sanjay, Rajiv but couldn't notice any similarity ??Did any one notice any similarity between real life and film characters ??


Film screening run time was 165 min from until start of end credits.
There was plenty of surround sound activity where required.

All I remember hearing that the character of Katrina was inspired from Sonia Gandhi and Ranbir was similar to Rajiv Gandhi. Nothing else.

And yes, here is the reason given why it was cut in the UK:

At '12A'/'12', the BBFC's Guidelines state that 'Moderate violence is allowed but should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if justified by the context'. There are several scenes in the film where characters are shot dead, but the focus is more on the brief bloody aftermath than on the actual shootings, apart from one which does show some detail, but no blood. The strongest detail occurs when a man shoots his cousin, whose clothes are seen covered in blood, and when two people die from a car bomb explosion. There is also a scene of moderate sex in which a man lies on top of a woman and there is implied nudity, but everything is shown from the waist up. This is in accordance with the Guidelines which at '12A'/'12' state that 'Sexual activity may be briefly and discreetly portrayed'. Finally, there are three uses of strong language in the film. At '12A/'12', the Guidelines state that 'The use of strong language (for example, 'f***') must be infrequent'.
