Review of Corporate

Corporate (2006)
7/10
A surprise
12 July 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Corporate explores the dark world of politics and under-the-table boardroom techniques in the business world. Set in present day Mumbai, it follows the story of our main protagonist Nishi (Bipasha Basu) and how everything and everyone around her have an effect.

Tightly scripted and well acted, Corporate could have made it to being the best film this year, if it wasn't for a few things.

1. The director brings in songs where they weren't needed. The item number, especially, was completely out of place.

2. The slight love angle between Minisha and Sameer is totally useless... in fact, Sameer's character wasn't even needed.

3. the character of the pervert CEO was pushed too far. He is a middle aged man in a bad marriage. He likes other women. But he doesn't need to bite his lips all the time in a horny fashion. Totally unrequired and a bit unrealistic.

4. Bpasha's scene at home with Minisha did not need to have as much emotion as it did. It came off weak, since she was shown as a strong woman. A strong woman in a bad marriage would not be weeping that way 5 years later.

All this does not mean that this is a bad movie. It is a rather good one, in fact. These points have been marked just as a severely critical viewpoint. You can actually walk in and totally enjoy the film.
