Corporate

Well its again a great work by Madhurji. As usual he had a good gripe through out the story and something with which you easily get related. One thing which is very important in Madhurji's film is the dialogue of the minor character. One in the day to day life ignores there under standing, which is not correct. After all is human being and all have temptation whether it is for money or for fame. Well the performance was a group work, and all did a good work. One thing which I don't know true or not but a feeling came to me that when we want to achieve some things by wrong mean we do not succeed in our life but we see other in that way are having a good life with all the pleasure. Well this is something which I have also seen happening with a common man. This concept I think has been captured very nicely in the whole picture. One song which was going on in the Delhi Bar was really a nice back ground song but we don't get it in the audio cassette and rarely some one heard it carefully, but it was a great match...sainya anadi mohe thanda pilay re .....

The cut-throat corporate wars, business tactics, strategies, sleazy deals, political paybacks, eroded business values, the soft-drink scandal.... you name it Corporate has it all... with a touch of realism.

Flip open a copy of The Economic Times, the headlines forms the backbone of the movie. In an attempt to incorporate all of them (which require background and screen time), the movie as whole does not get it right.

The snippets/ humour predominant in Page-3 are missing in Corporate.

Raj Babbar is perfect as Marwah, typical business dynasty. Its good to see Navni Parihar after a long time. The superstitious beliefs of Dharmesh Marwah are true-to-life.

Rajat Kapoor is a perfect cast for the Harvard graduate raring to be the nexgen entrepreneur.

Lillete Dubey as the media bookie is perfectly cast.

Minisha Lamba's role got chopped at the editing table big time.

Sandeep Mehta does the leachy Pervez with utmost perfection that you will hate the very sight of him.

Kay Kay Menon – this guy is a powerhouse of talent and no two ways about it. Very effective.

And finally Bipasha – in business suits she gets into the character of no nonsense Nishi. She portrays the softer side of the character equally well.

Thanks to real-life celebrity for this appearances in the movie.

Finally the end is similar to Chandni Bar – bit depressing, true-to-life.... reinforcing the fact that might is right.

After the exposé on Mumbai's "Page 3" society in a film of the same name,this one veers into the world of business barons and boardroom battles. The movie is based on the philosophy that in business, the ultimate goal is profit. And it does not matter if ethics are completely bypassed to achieve it. People who've seen Page 3 will identify Bhandarkar's signature style, especially the boldness with which he blows the cover off the perverse lifestyles of the rich and powerful. Sleaze is of course there in ample helpings. There are also the "aside" acts involving the lower wrung characters where they make fun of their bosses, as in Page 3.

The movie begins with a subtle note about the corporate world in India and then unfolds itself into the dirty and disgusting games which the men in power play so that they could remain on the top. The performances of all the characters are beautifully done. No-one looks out of place. The main character that stands out is the performance by the leading lady Bipasha and Kaykay. The music is huge let down as there was no need of putting any songs in the movie but they were pushed into situations not required. The movie unfolds a beautiful story which is so close to the real corporate world. Indian cinema requires such kind of movies to made more. Keep up the good work Madhur Bhandarkar...

After watching director Madhur Bhandharkar's Chandni Bar and Page 3, this was definitely a highly anticipated film by critics and fans alike. This time he was getting his hands dirty in the big bad world of corporate after tackling the dark world of bar dancers and celebrity-hood. The fact that this is the third installment of his trilogy, I was sure he will be dealing into the realistic topic of corporate firms and yet there was very little to predict or expect. The movie starts off on a nice solemn note as we are introduced into the rivalry of the 2 big enterprises. Do not expect any big twist or turns in the story, but the story just moves Madhur way. Performances by Bipasha and Kay Kay are on top note. Bipasha is impressive as hard-worker who will do anything to get her work done, and Kay Kay is very realistic. Short comedy and jokes scenes in between do not work. If he was trying to pull a Ram Gopal Varma, Madhur still needs to master the skill of developing character roles, however his effort is well appreciated and managed to keep me glued on my seat, regardless of the low quality VCD. Relating to the first 2 films, this film to does not end on a happy note... well just goes to say life goes on!!
