Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Avinash Patalay 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.

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...

megha6582 I have seen Madhur Bhandarkar's earlier films, Chandini Bar and Page 3 and I was tremendously impressed with both of them. Naturally, I had a lot of expectations from 'Corporate'. The promos looked interesting and the film was being promoted in a big way. I watched the film yesterday and I must say...I'm disappointed. The film revolves around the corporate world, unmasking the treachery, betrayal & lack of ethics of corporate giants & Politicians. In some places, the movie has striking similarities to Page 3 and the director's signature style comes across. The same sleaze (Big shots like ministers and top notch executives sleeping around), pre-marital sex, peon's huddled together discussing the personal lives of their bosses and who's sleeping with whom , item numbers popping up when not required, actresses with no integrity…..and so forth. It gets a little tiresome at the end and u end up thinking "Doesn't anyone have principles? Are all the rich and powerful the same?" What is most disappointing in this film is the character of the main protagonist. In Bhandarkar's earlier movies too, women have been the main protagonists but in this movie, you don't feel for Bipasha's character. Even though she is victimized, you don't feel any sympathy for her. I'm in no way saying that Bipasha has done a bad job in the movie but it's certainly not a role that she'll be remembered for. Her character in the film, Nishi, is of a divorced corporate executive who is ambitious, intelligent, crafty and who doesn't hesitate to resort to a few tricks of her own to steal the company secrets of a rival. She is single, independent and not in any way bothered about the fact that she is the butt of office gossip because of her relationship with the chairman's brother-in-law. She knows exactly what goes on in the corporate world, all the shady deals, the fact that her boss can stoop to any level for 'profit' (which BTW, is the bottom line in the corporate world) and yet, she blindly owns up to a crime that she has not committed (throwing away her reputation & career) and expresses full faith in her company and colleagues that they will eventually bail her out. I mean, that is something which is a little hard to digest. You might end up thinking "Well, serves you right for being so stupid!'As for the performances, this movie can in no way match up to Chandini Bar or Page 3. Everyone is just about OK. I feel Kay Kay has been wasted. He is such a talented actor but has so little to do in this movie. Minisha Lamba & Sameer have insignificant roles. Raj Babbar, Rajat Kapoor, Vinay Apte and Harsh Chayya are adequate. But everything said and done, I'd still recommend this movie because it is watch able. The first half is boring but the pace quickens in the second half & the plot becomes interesting towards the end. Only one word of caution….....don't expect too much.

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).
