Raajneeti (transl. Politics) is a 2010 Indian Hindi-language political thriller film co-written, directed and produced by Prakash Jha, with a screenplay by Anjum Rajabali and Prakash Jha. Depicting an archetypal conflict between rival political families and parties, based on the Mahabharata, the film starred an ensemble cast of Ajay Devgn, Nana Patekar, Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee, Sarah Thompson and Naseeruddin Shah. It was originally produced by Prakash Jha Productions and distributed by UTV Motion Pictures and Walkwater Media.

Raajneeti was shot extensively in Bhopal.[4] The title, which translates literally as "Politics" and contextually as "Affairs of State," was promoted with the tagline "Politics and Beyond..."[5]

Amid much controversy, Raajneeti was released in theatres worldwide on 4 June 2010. The film received positive reviews from critics both in India and internationally, receiving high acclaim for its direction, screenplay, and performances of the ensemble cast. It became a major commercial success, grossing over ₹145.5 crore (US$17 million) worldwide, emerging as one of the fourth highest-grossing Indian films of 2010.

At the 56th Filmfare Awards, Raajneeti received 4 nominations – Best Actor (Kapoor) and Best Supporting Actor (for Rampal, Bajpayee and Patekar). Indiagames also released a mobile video game based on the film.[6]
