After the exposé on Mumbai's "Page 3" society in a film of the same name,this one veers into the world of business barons and boardroom battles. The movie is based on the philosophy that in business, the ultimate goal is profit. And it does not matter if ethics are completely bypassed to achieve it. People who've seen Page 3 will identify Bhandarkar's signature style, especially the boldness with which he blows the cover off the perverse lifestyles of the rich and powerful. Sleaze is of course there in ample helpings. There are also the "aside" acts involving the lower wrung characters where they make fun of their bosses, as in Page 3.
No love, no emotions only profit, betrayal & treachery. But, why only one women suffered for this?! A very poor story & boring. In a point of view, it may be right actually. Innocents are always suffering traditionally! Ritesh is a very poor & dumb character here. Nishi was also boring in the last. It could have beem better!!
I found this movie to very entertaining. It could have been directed in the Ram Gopal Varma manner with nothing to disrupt the flow of the plot. Too bad that Bollywood fans only really reward masala movies. It dissuades people with good stories from relying solely on them. This was a serious role for Bipasha so they couldn't have doing her usual naach routine. But the main thread of the story, of the trench warfare between large corporations was gripping and well-presented. I think the fallout where assistants took the fall for policies they fought is quite realistic. Only in Japan do you ever seem to see the persons ultimately responsible taking their responsibility. Elsewhere the rationale seems to be "I don't have to, therefore I won't". The script didn't cop out on that point which earned it some respect.
I think this is the first meaty role I've ever seen Rajat Kapoor do, and he did it well. Bipasha's role was atypical, and she fit into it way better than I had any right to expect. Same with Kay Kay. I've worked for many decades in corporations, and the whole thing rang true to me.
I give it four out of five stars.

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 .....
The movie begins with a subtle note about the corporate world in India and then unfolds itself into the dirty and disgusting games which the men in power play so that they could remain on the top. The performances of all the characters are beautifully done. No-one looks out of place. The main character that stands out is the performance by the leading lady Bipasha and Kaykay. The music is huge let down as there was no need of putting any songs in the movie but they were pushed into situations not required. The movie unfolds a beautiful story which is so close to the real corporate world. Indian cinema requires such kind of movies to made more. Keep up the good work Madhur Bhandarkar...
