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.

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.

pande_rome 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 .....

suhasw This is a very good example of how movie directors fall in trap of the successes of their own formula. Madhur Bhandarkar uses senior actors from Marathi theater, sprinkling of sex, a couple of side-line characters who keep audiences entertained by giving "gyan" on corporate life.DBefreo you go on, let me warn you. The movie is so insipid,that I have revealed the plot a little.This movie clearly falls to create the punch that Page 3 did. The script is very very weak. In fact, in the second-half, the host-shot award-winning business executive Nishi (Bipasha Basu) coolly signs all the papers going to enquiry commission, without even glancing at them once!!! To cut a long story short..... Nishi steals secrets of new project from Parvez(CEO of Marwa Industries - a competing Business group) To achieve this she uses an age-old art of seduction, followed by a direct attack on Parvez's masculinity by an ultra-hot model. Then she proceeds to copy all the project details using a USB drive, while Parvez continues his deep slumber caused by sexual excesses with this model. This is known as "Social Engineering" in parlance of hackers. It is possibly a first in Hindi movies!!! Funny, each and every one of these corporate biggies takes to drinks, if things don't go their way. Madhur Bhandarkar has mixed up his characters. He should know by now business success and drinking habits don't go hand-in-hand. If he continued to be a detailed oriented guy as he used to be, he would have shown Pan Parag Pan Masala somewhere :-) (No kidding . Believe me when I say it is the most used corporate tranquilizer used.).The end is so flat .... the loyal corporate executive (Bipasa Basu) goes to jail to cover her employers and delivers a kid there. She loses her lover (Kay Kay) who is killed by his own brother-in-law and industrialist Vinay Sehgal (Rajat Kapoor) so that he does not spill the beans about the real culprit is in pesticides contamination case to media.More on performances - It is a good move for Bipasa Basu, who seems to have acted well (under direction of Madhur). Vinay Apte pulls of a convincing politician. Kay Kay should stop smoking, or else he is going to look like a TB patient in future.Even usual solitary Asha Bhosle song cannot save the movie. After high expectations and a couple of recommendations, the movie turned out to be a damp squib.
