kentpaul_65102 the movie was unnecessarily extended to however long it was. The movie could have end just where the FDA discovered pesticides, and letting the Marwahs take control of the entire market. but no..it would not be ethical to have such a short movie. The movie did have a climax ... but it did not follow up with relieving plot, but with more tensions and leaves the viewer with no sense of satisfaction.The drink fails > public outcry > SGI is crumbling > Nishi takes blame > Ritesh is murdered. The plot keeps going downslope and never rises??? what kind of storyline is this??? It is a good stab on the corporate world, but this is exaggerated to an extent that I could not follow the movie but the exaggeration. This portrays ALL things in the business world corrupt!! I do acknowledge that there is corruption involved but not to this level.There were also some areas where the script was plainly weak. The part where Nishi steals classified information from that horny dude is purely BS. Having important work info on a laptop without any encryption is unheard of... she had no problems gaining the info. There should have been a password at least and if not that a fingerprint reader.I think the movie would have been better if the editors worked harder.

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...

uncle_g1234 I found this movie to very entertaining. It could have been directed in the Ram Gopal Varma manner with nothing to disrupt the flow of the plot. Too bad that Bollywood fans only really reward masala movies. It dissuades people with good stories from relying solely on them. This was a serious role for Bipasha so they couldn't have doing her usual naach routine. But the main thread of the story, of the trench warfare between large corporations was gripping and well-presented. I think the fallout where assistants took the fall for policies they fought is quite realistic. Only in Japan do you ever seem to see the persons ultimately responsible taking their responsibility. Elsewhere the rationale seems to be "I don't have to, therefore I won't". The script didn't cop out on that point which earned it some respect.I think this is the first meaty role I've ever seen Rajat Kapoor do, and he did it well. Bipasha's role was atypical, and she fit into it way better than I had any right to expect. Same with Kay Kay. I've worked for many decades in corporations, and the whole thing rang true to me.I give it four out of five stars.

dsa ca Madhur Bhandharkar seems to be having dearth of stories or is in the process of creating a film making formula for himself like the one karan johar has for himself.If that is the case then it is unfortunate for bollywood that one of the better director of the industry is also resorting to such farce.The problem with corporate is that it has exactly same storyline as Mr.bhandharkar's earlier acclaimed films to name chandni bar and page 3. It has a female lead which has struggling past and she is settling down nicely with the given environment(in this case the corporate world) without any guilt.She is growing in stature and creating a healthy social life with a man whose working also is (very much)related somewhere or the other around her field of work.And then to make the long story short that world of hers softly but surely destroys and swallows her dreams, aspirations,her pride and destroys or disgraces the man in her life living her with her supporters to learn that its a big bad world out there with everything you need except a place for heart.This is a good story to tell but not to be retold with different situations.Once the director explains and settles the audience with the environment he creates, the audience can quickly recognize what will happen in the end no matter what happens between the start and the end.Corporate has somehow the few of important characters similar to the ones of directors previous films especially page 3.To the directors credit he creates the corporate world of India sincerely with fine detailing rather than spoofing some public figure. The characters in the film are strong and well written except miss manisha lamba's character but all actors have performed there role sincerely.I feel that Bipasha's character just may not get the audience sympathy as it acts stupidly and takes a self destroying decision rather than getting destroyed by other.Overall the movie is still a well made movie but looses its novelty due to directors lack of ideas and resorts to his own tried and tasted tricks for completing the story.
