Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

CriticGirl91 I find it a little upsetting when a director who tries to make something beyond the typical masala and love triangles; and is simply bashed up by the audience without even considering his effort. Madhur has done a great job here, just like he had in Chandni Bar and Page 3. There are several aspects to be appreciated in this film.The first of these is that this is a film driven by story. It is not made to present any commercial star as a fabulous performer. It is meant to expose the corporate life, and that is exactly what it does. It takes a third person perspective into the corporate world, and exposes people at various levels of a corporation, thus being just to every character in the film, irrespective of the screen time they receive.The next appreciable point is that this film is blunt. It makes no attempt to justify or compensate for any misdoings of any actors or stars in the film and kudos to the actors for taking up these shaded characters.The third point of significance is that the film is substantial. It goes into the depth of various processes and does not mind not ending up as a feel good film. It has a well thought out plot, and covers a lot of events that never stray from the theme of the film.Additionally, actors Rajat Kapoor, Kay Kay and Raj Babbar are fabulous, as always. Kudos to Madhur for taking actual actors for his film. Bipasha is average but not irritating in the least. Madhur does a good job of narration barring his accent. I liked his narration because it was a good change from the usual, overly intense narrations. I liked the conversation between the peons which is so reminiscent of what actually happens in offices. Ritesh taking a share of Nishi's work, Nishi's pride of being a woman, Rajat's denial of his wrong decisions, Raj Babbar's desire to take revenge are all very interesting and refreshingly realistic plots.On the downside, the editing could have been crisper, and made the film more compact. I wished to see more of Harsh Chhaya,too. Lastly, some scenes were plain awkward like the one where Nishi tells Pervez that he is not sorry for losing his job but for being defeated by a woman. Could have been more sensible.Nonetheless, I wish to repeat that we need to encourage such films that have substantial plots and that respect the intelligence of us audience. I definitely recommend this one.

birdoberoi I saw this movie after many people recommended it, and because it had Rajat Kapoor in it. But, I was quite disappointed! Actually, it was a desperate attempt to be different, which, according to me, fell rather flat. It was an old story, packaged into an allegedly 'real' corporate world. Simply put, two rival industrialists fight to gain the upper hand in the big (read HUGE), bad (read ROTTEN BEYOND PUTRID) world of business. Everyone has elastic morals, except the ones who lose out at the end. That's it! In a nutshell: the nice guys stuck to their ideals, but ended up getting screwed. Correct me if I am wrong, but hasn't this been repeated umpteen times already? Was not 'Jaane bhi do Yaaron' a similar tale, but faaaaaaaaaaaar better directed, acted, edited, funnier and an absolute classic? The difference is that we are now in an age where a tragedy is considered good cinema, as long as it is 'realistic'. I won't ask why, but that is how things have come to pass...The acting was decent - Rajat was great, Raj Babbar was very good, Kay Kay Menon was good, but could have been excellent if he had stayed away from stereotypical expressions, Lilette was, as always, immaculate. But the revelation to me was Harsh Chhaya - he was outstanding in underplaying his emotions! Great job! Finally, Bipasha Basu... what can one say! I had not seen her in any other movie thus far (thank my lucky stars!). Many told me she was good in this movie. GOOD???? Good God is more like it!!! She had a single expression throughout - whether she was smiling, laughing, crying, scheming, copulating (figuratively and literally) and collapsing. Atrocious! Also, there are certain actors who were given roles in the movie, and the director simply did not know what to do with them. For example, Lilette Dubey's character suddenly showed a new side, and that was the end of her role! Wtf! All in all, watch this movie if you were in the same predicament as me - nothing interesting in Blockbuster, you have nothing else to accompany your Sunday evening beer and are in a slightly masochistic mood...

sylvrestorm Corporate was a great movie. I totally disagree with other negative reviews. The acting from all the actors and actresses including Bips was great. Kay Kay Menon is an amazing actor. The plot for this movie was very thought provoking. Anyone who's part of the corporate world would totally agree with me that this movie is wholly in sync with the competitiveness and treachery of the corporate world period. This movie is about ethics in the corporate world and it's a societal problem in every country. It also focuses impressively on the relationship between successful companies and politics which is a very normal relationship that most people are not aware of. There are interesting twists in the movie that keep you focused. This a movie unlike any Bollywood movie 'I ' have ever seen and I'm Bollywood insane. Honestly I give it a 9.5, I took the other .5 off for not so great songs, but the movie is not about the songs really, it's about the content. I think everyone should watch it at least once because it's really insightful and unlike the other same old Bolly films. I noticed that this movie is received in a sexually biased context. It appears women really liked it because it' really pinpoints how women sacrifice everyday in all aspects of their lives, be it love, family or in the Corporate world. Men on the other hand are not too amused because the movie doesn't really revolve around a man. (It's an observation of mine... Don't feel offended men.)

kooleshwar I'm not a big fan of these so called arty and DIFFERENT kind of films but I had to go check out this new mall in Mulund and I had promised my friends I would watch a movie with them and this is the only one I hadn't seen.Needless to say I automatically lowered my expressions before I entered this film.What struck me immediately was how DIFFERENT AND EXPERIMENTAL (In the words of Madhur Bhandarkar) this film was.Let me illustrate. By giving you the recipe for different films.1) All rich people are bad and morally challenged, almost all of them are whore-mongers and even the most uptight of them will indulge in premarital sex and bend the rules.2)Poor and working class people possess a high moral character and only indulge in dirty work if forced by the circumstances.3)All women are exploited by men, if they are rich and powerful they exploit other women and are secretly drug dealers, or pimps.4)Most probably especially If the woman is the heroine and doing bad things (or playing along with the system) its because the circumstances have forced her but no matter what sooner or later she will have change of heart and mend her ways. IT IS NEVER EVER THE WOMENS FAULT.5)All politicians are bad and are willing to sell the country, most of them are also whore-mongers.6)Most if not all NGOS are run by publicity hungry people who dance to the tunes of these morally challenged rich people.7)Any government official can be bought.8)Anyone can get away with murder especially the bad guys.9)All second rung actresses, actors and models are whores or characterless.10)If enough people find the movie SAD AND DEPRESSING AND IF THEY SPEND HALF THE MOVIES BUDGET ON MARKETING THE MOVIE THEN PEOPLE WILL AGREE THAT SINCE IT IS SAD AND DEPRESSING, AND SINCE THE MAKER SAYS SO THIS FILM IS DIFFERENT ENSURING BOX OFFICE SUCCESS.You get the drift don't you almost all the so called different film makers follow this formula or variations of it.By promoting this cultural divide they are able to feed of the masses and the classes. All you need to do is market your movie as different and the so called lovers of cinema and socially responsible people from the classes and the uptight people from the masses will watch your film.Safe to say this movie sticks to this formula to the hilt. It seems like PARTS OF PAGE 3 HAVE BEEN CUT OF A FEW SCENES ADDED AND A NEW FILM IS MADE.Don't TRUST ME BUT EVEN THE AUDIENCE IN THE THEATRE SIGHED WHEN THE SECOND ITEM NUMBER WAS PLAYED AND LAUGHED AT THE SO CALLED EMOTIONAL SCENES. WHEN KK SAYS "MUJHSE GALTI HO GAYI" A CHEAP JOKE CAME TO EVERYONES MIND AND TRUST ME WAS CRACKED BY OVER 3 GROUPS OF PEOPLE AND APPRECIATED BY ALL.The acting of this movie is great but you come to expect that from such an established cast.Bipasha Basu's ACTING WAS STRICTLY OK SHE HAS MILES TO GO BEFORE SHE CAN TURN UP A DECENT PERFORMANCE. You could see the effort behind the scenes she showed none of the ease that the superb supporting cast and KK showed.Sammir Dattani and Minnisha Lamba were not that attractive showpieces and their insignificant roles added nothing to the movie and only served as a distraction I can think of no CINEMATIC MOTIVE BEHIND THEM BEING IN THIS MOVIE.The movie had to unnecessary item numbers that were ordinary none of the Rickshaw Blasting UP hilaoing KUAN MA DOOB JAOONGI here.The guards and peons provided some much needed comic relief the part where even the biggest officials steal stationary was indeed true and hilarious.In all and ordinary film in all aspects.If you want to watch a DIFFERENT FILM I would recommend watching Page3 again.+s superb acting from the entire cast, some pretty original representations of politicians, businessman and god-men.+/-'s Bipasha Basu , soundtrack -'s COMPLETELY UNORIGINAL AND Predictable, NOTHING NEW ON OFFER, mediocre cinematically.total 4/10 (would have given a five because of the superb acting but cant give any encouragement to such films).
