Ranbir does a Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi, the poster boy of Indian politics, did it for the Congress first in Mumbai... travelling by a Kalyan-bound CR local between Dadar and Ghatkopar, to defy the Shiv Sena in February and establish the fact that Mumbai is for all Indians...
But Ranbir Kapoor, the poster boy of Bollywood, was more at ease when he hopped into a Churchgate-bound WR local at Andheri to alight at Mahim in a promo for the Ronnie Screwvala-produced and Prakash Jha-directed film Rajneeti.
Both, Rahul and Ranbir undertook their train journeys to establish a local connect with the aam aadmi... and, coincidentally, both were dressed in kurta and Kolhapuris, which is the attire of the politician... and which, coincicentally again, is what Rahul is in real life and Ranbir plays Rajneeti. The film also stars Nana Patekar, Ajay Devgn, Katrina Kaif, Manoj Bajpai, Arjun Rampal, Naseeruddin Shah and Sarah Thompson Kane and is about Indian politics, about democracy and its ugly underside, about elections, and about the few people who control the destiny of millions, their unstoppable ambition, and their bitter and violent battle to achieve it. Rahul Gandhi, by this brazen act of defiance, won the hearts of Mumbaikars and perhaps scored brownie points for the Congress to be calculated in elections to come. And Ranbir Kapoor, he sent commuters’ hearts a flutter in the ladies compartment for sure, but what his Mumbai rail yatra will do for Rajneeti we’ll only know on June 4, when the film releases...
