Political thrillers are best served when there is a hint of a larger conspiracy at play; they tend to flourish to their fullest extent when there is enough drama and intensity to keep the audience engaged. Sourav Chakraborty's "Rajneeti" seemed to cover both of these points with ease, creating a riveting political thriller that I'm sure will keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
While the series struggles to keep the pacing in check in its early stages, the script's point of elevation came at a time when it was actually required. When the sluggishness wears off, the writing from thereon takes precedence, and the twists and turns begin to function as intended. Particularly in the last episode, where revelation after revelation leaves a strong impression while leaving the door open for a plausible continuation.
