Corporate

Verdict: Brilliant.

Madhur Bhandarkar has done it again after Page 3. In my opinion two things are vital to sustain a film. The first is a coherent storyline and the second the pace and Corporate scores brilliantly on both these counts. Additionally, Bhandarkar also addresses the issues quite beautifully. A case in point is the issue where one of the corporate heads asks the minister to “order” his Swadeshi lobby to get into action to destroy his competitor. And there are many others.

After a spate of mediocre roles in which she merely looked gorgeous Bipasha Basu has finally got the opportunity that can do justice to her potential and the talented Bengali babe pulls it off splendidly. She is undoubtedly the biggest star of this movie and the fact that none of the other actors hog the limelight in such a successfully made venture is further tribute to the director.

The only sore point I felt in this flick is K.K. Menon. I do not say that he has done a bad job at all somehow I just don’t appreciate him – just as I did not in Sarkar.

Finally, in this movie that depicts the murky methods in the Corporate World, you do not feel sorry or sympathetic for any of the characters as the drama unveils and each pays horribly for his misdeeds. Therein lays the success of the movie.
