Review of Corporate

Corporate (2006)
9/10
A realistic Potrayl of Corporate World
9 January 2014
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.
