Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

runi_star This is not a comparison of page 3 with Corporate. The point is that the director himself did not want to get out of the Page 3 model.Madhur Bhandarkar is a very economic person, he won't waste things, so he kind of used the research left after making page 3. There is a repetition of scenes, like the one with the peons in the office, defining their own version of Corporate. Wait, does it remind you of Page 3, where drivers talked!!Everybody talked about Bipasha's looks in the film but I thought her hair was tied so tightly that one can have a headache anytime and stop thinking with the head. Now I understand the logic behind Bipasha taking her decisions from her heart – it's the hair style which was kept in mind.Certain scenes were kept for the sake of keeping them. Like the one where Mimisha, the aspiring corporate person and her lunch with her parents. One can't find a link to it. By the way what happened to Parvez, the informer? I think he should have been informed to take a revenge!! He disappeared suddenly! And Lillete Dubey has been wasted in the film. The film looked very crowded. There was no need of so many characters.I think 'corporate' did the best for Rajat Kapur who was outstanding as the head of the company. Look I even forgot the name of the company! The characterization was good except for the choice of Raj Babbar. But the actors did not get a scope to perform to their abilities. For future projects, Bipasha and Kay Kay as a couple can be considered. I think the film badly needed a good editor!! The promos of the movie said money, power, politics, I would like to add one more thing to it - just forget it!!!

ChiBron And even that strong 2nd half can't lift Madhur Bhandarkar's 2nd directorial effort on "exposing" the corrupt nature of the corporate world from average status. The art of story telling is obviously not one of Bhandarkar's strengths. The first half of Corporate, to put it bluntly, is BOORRINGGGGG!! And Y is it boring? Because NOTHING happens! There's no conflict aside from Bhandarkar wasting time on whose screwing who behind the scenes(AGAIN) and trying too hard to portray the very liberal lifestyles of those working in these BIG corporations. The latter especially came off very tacky to me. The story doesn't really become interesting until the discovery of pesticides in the new drink product being launched by Vinay Sehgal's(Rajat Kapoor) company and the chaos that follows after the drink's release. I loved the ending most because it's reality - Those who don't let their morality interrupt their business decisions almost always go unharmed where BIG money is involved, while the "emotional fools" end up paying for sticking up their neck to do the honorable thing. Call it stereotyping but MONEY speaks above all when the people getting screwed aren't related to you by blood.Rajat Kapoor gets the most scope as Vinay only-profit-matters Sehgal and he takes full advantage it. It's a subtle yet chilling portrayal of an immoral man w/ an ego that matches his bank account. It's all in Rajat Kapoor's eyes and body language. I wish he'd do more movies because he effortlessly slips into any character he plays. Bipasha is just decent. Yes, she's not a PLAYBOY for a change but wearing business suits to work and no make-up(scary!) while locked up in jail doesn't make you different. Her dialog delivery and body language is same ol' same ol'. Kay Kay's a complete miscast as Bipasha's boyfriend because he looks old enough to be her father. Not to mention his character is relegated to smiling or brooding and he couldn't do the former at all w/o looking awkward. Raj Babbar underplays his superstitious character as Sehgal's rival and it comes across beautifully. Especially in the 2nd half where he's out to destroy Sehgal. The politician funding Sehgal corp. is a complete natural. Payal Rohatgi seems to be playing herself :DOverall, would recommend it for Rajat Kapoor's performance and the cold truth of BIG businesses in the 2nd half. But Corporate's far from being a well made movie. Bhandarkar's gotta work on how to tell a story.

venkat1926 It is the story of corporate sleaze. Of course it is too much of cliché that corporate heads portrayed like mafia heads.But the film is interesting. The of story is purely narrative and linear. The film portrays the rivalry between two groups of companies, Seghal and Marwah. Somebody made a disputable statement that every rich man must have committed at least one sin in rising up the ladder. In this story there are too many sleazes and unethical acts that one comes to hate the business men and the higher executives in such companies. The nexus between the big business and higher politics and the media and NGOs is well known Nisigandha (bipisha) is high in the corporate world of Seghal groups who goes to extremes to steal the secrets from the CEO of the rival company. The part of her actions are due to the love and affection she has for Ritesh the brother-in-law of Seghal,who becomes the taam head. When the let down comes it is Nishi who has been the sacrificial bull. It is not that she has not done her share of crimes but everybody did and it is a pity that only she suffers and others escape with minor injuries. The finale is itself is disappointing. Nishi taking all the blame and goes to prison-for whose sake, and Ritesh commits suicide or was he murdered/ I don't think that business rivals murder each other except in Tamil serials. They are not mafia. Of course it is politically correct to portray them like that. Not that the businessmen are pure like a newly born babe.The narrative is interesting and Bipisha has acted very well. An interesting film and with tight screen play (but for the three unnecessary song and dance items) and everybody acted their roles competently.5.5 out of 10

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).
