I find it a little upsetting when a director who tries to make something beyond the typical masala and love triangles; and is simply bashed up by the audience without even considering his effort. Madhur has done a great job here, just like he had in Chandni Bar and Page 3. There are several aspects to be appreciated in this film.The first of these is that this is a film driven by story. It is not made to present any commercial star as a fabulous performer. It is meant to expose the corporate life, and that is exactly what it does. It takes a third person perspective into the corporate world, and exposes people at various levels of a corporation, thus being just to every character in the film, irrespective of the screen time they receive.The next appreciable point is that this film is blunt. It makes no attempt to justify or compensate for any misdoings of any actors or stars in the film and kudos to the actors for taking up these shaded characters.The third point of significance is that the film is substantial. It goes into the depth of various processes and does not mind not ending up as a feel good film. It has a well thought out plot, and covers a lot of events that never stray from the theme of the film.Additionally, actors Rajat Kapoor, Kay Kay and Raj Babbar are fabulous, as always. Kudos to Madhur for taking actual actors for his film. Bipasha is average but not irritating in the least. Madhur does a good job of narration barring his accent. I liked his narration because it was a good change from the usual, overly intense narrations. I liked the conversation between the peons which is so reminiscent of what actually happens in offices. Ritesh taking a share of Nishi's work, Nishi's pride of being a woman, Rajat's denial of his wrong decisions, Raj Babbar's desire to take revenge are all very interesting and refreshingly realistic plots.On the downside, the editing could have been crisper, and made the film more compact. I wished to see more of Harsh Chhaya,too. Lastly, some scenes were plain awkward like the one where Nishi tells Pervez that he is not sorry for losing his job but for being defeated by a woman. Could have been more sensible.Nonetheless, I wish to repeat that we need to encourage such films that have substantial plots and that respect the intelligence of us audience. I definitely recommend this one.

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.

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.

After watching director Madhur Bhandharkar's Chandni Bar and Page 3, this was definitely a highly anticipated film by critics and fans alike. This time he was getting his hands dirty in the big bad world of corporate after tackling the dark world of bar dancers and celebrity-hood. The fact that this is the third installment of his trilogy, I was sure he will be dealing into the realistic topic of corporate firms and yet there was very little to predict or expect. The movie starts off on a nice solemn note as we are introduced into the rivalry of the 2 big enterprises. Do not expect any big twist or turns in the story, but the story just moves Madhur way. Performances by Bipasha and Kay Kay are on top note. Bipasha is impressive as hard-worker who will do anything to get her work done, and Kay Kay is very realistic. Short comedy and jokes scenes in between do not work. If he was trying to pull a Ram Gopal Varma, Madhur still needs to master the skill of developing character roles, however his effort is well appreciated and managed to keep me glued on my seat, regardless of the low quality VCD. Relating to the first 2 films, this film to does not end on a happy note... well just goes to say life goes on!!
