Corporate (2006)

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This movie was so totally interesting but entertaining and storyline good movie and storyline Storyline is good screenplay is superb background music is superb editing is superb direction is superb Songs are really impressive Kay Kay is superb bipasha is good minnisha is superb raj is superb rajat kapoor is superb other cast is excellent 4/5

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.

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.

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.
