That was an excellent one.

So much average

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Bhandarkar's 'Corporate' is one of the finest movies of Bollywood ever made on the business rivalries in a corporate world. The Marwhas and Sehgal groups depicted as the two big corporate giants of food industry in Mumbai are always in a rival situation to outclass each other in their business. When the movie was released in 2006 the media rumored that plot of the movie was based on the actual business rivalry between Coke and Pepsi groups. It seemed to be true as Bhandarkar is well known for making realistic cinema as he has done in past with hits like Chandani Bar, Page 3. Well Corporate movie has all the ingredients of the corporate life style. The profit making as the sole ideology of the capitalists was there ever since the start of Industrial revolution in England and it still continues in its most refined form in this age of Globalization. The movie very well presents this fact through its characters and its basic plot. The star cast chosen was great. Whether it was Gulab Rao the state minister, Raj Babbar( President of Marwah groups), Bipasha, Key key Menon all did full justice to their roles. Their dresses, mannerism, gestures , dialogues, business meeting scenes presented a very realistic nature of the business world. I somehow disagree with the views of the above viewers who in their comment have stated that item number song was unnecessary. But it had a connection with the movie. It depicted and exposed ministers secret acts of sleeping with beautiful actresses or dancers in hotels. The movie very well explains the much known fact that in corporate sector money and profit are much preferred than a relationship. Besides this in business one has to be very watchful and alert and a slight irresponsibility at managerial level position can put the entire company in a big trouble especially if the irresponsibility is due to one's temptation or habit of drinking and womanizing. Above all in my view a corporate is a must watch especially for a management student. The prestigious IIM in India had incorporated this movie as part of their teaching curriculum way back in 2006-07. It seemed Bhandarkar really worked hard in researching this issue and thus presented in a highly commendable fashion. Bhandarkar has brought the issues of ambitions, corruptions, deceit, betrayal, success and failures in the field of journalism, corporate sector, fashion,law. I think an important area of 'Education' has yet to be researched and presented before the public by Bhandarkar.

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...

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 .....

I saw corporate on DVD one afternoon expecting to fast forward through most of it but I was pleasantly surprised as I hardly touched the remote. (I did use it to get fast forward through the songs though)The actors were pretty good especially Rajat Kapoor who gave an excellent performance showing all the nuances of his character. Most actors even Shahrukh would have gone overboard playing the corporate leader but not Rajat. The ensemble cast all performed well underplaying their roles which is not usually a Bollywood preference with their larger than life characters. Bipasha, Raj Babbar and the actor playing the politician were quite good.Songs were not really required, I preferred it when they were in the background.Although i am sure this movie will not do well at the Box office but I found it intelligent and well made so do watch it.
