It's the story of a fiercely fought election marketing campaign, the place cash energy and corruption are the accepted norms, and the place treachery and manipulation are routinely used weapons. As the non-public drama of those conflict-ridden characters unfolds towards this gritty backdrop, love and friendship turn out to be mere baits, and relationships get sacrificed on the altar of political alignments. The darkness that rises from their souls threatens to envelope all that they maintain valuable. Till ultimately, within the crescendo of accelerating violence, the road between good and evil blurs, making it unimaginable to tell apart heroes from villains. Raajneeti is the story of Indian democracy. And its ugly underside. It's about politics. And past.
