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.

Corporate was a great movie. I totally disagree with other negative reviews. The acting from all the actors and actresses including Bips was great. Kay Kay Menon is an amazing actor. The plot for this movie was very thought provoking. Anyone who's part of the corporate world would totally agree with me that this movie is wholly in sync with the competitiveness and treachery of the corporate world period. This movie is about ethics in the corporate world and it's a societal problem in every country. It also focuses impressively on the relationship between successful companies and politics which is a very normal relationship that most people are not aware of. There are interesting twists in the movie that keep you focused. This a movie unlike any Bollywood movie 'I ' have ever seen and I'm Bollywood insane. Honestly I give it a 9.5, I took the other .5 off for not so great songs, but the movie is not about the songs really, it's about the content. I think everyone should watch it at least once because it's really insightful and unlike the other same old Bolly films. I noticed that this movie is received in a sexually biased context. It appears women really liked it because it' really pinpoints how women sacrifice everyday in all aspects of their lives, be it love, family or in the Corporate world. Men on the other hand are not too amused because the movie doesn't really revolve around a man. (It's an observation of mine... Don't feel offended men.)

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!!!

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 .....
