Madhur Bhandharkar seems to be having dearth of stories or is in the process of creating a film making formula for himself like the one karan johar has for himself.If that is the case then it is unfortunate for bollywood that one of the better director of the industry is also resorting to such farce.
The problem with corporate is that it has exactly same storyline as Mr.bhandharkar's earlier acclaimed films to name chandni bar and page 3. It has a female lead which has struggling past and she is settling down nicely with the given environment(in this case the corporate world) without any guilt.She is growing in stature and creating a healthy social life with a man whose working also is (very much)related somewhere or the other around her field of work.And then to make the long story short that world of hers softly but surely destroys and swallows her dreams, aspirations,her pride and destroys or disgraces the man in her life living her with her supporters to learn that its a big bad world out there with everything you need except a place for heart.
This is a good story to tell but not to be retold with different situations.Once the director explains and settles the audience with the environment he creates, the audience can quickly recognize what will happen in the end no matter what happens between the start and the end.Corporate has somehow the few of important characters similar to the ones of directors previous films especially page 3.
To the directors credit he creates the corporate world of India sincerely with fine detailing rather than spoofing some public figure. The characters in the film are strong and well written except miss manisha lamba's character but all actors have performed there role sincerely.I feel that Bipasha's character just may not get the audience sympathy as it acts stupidly and takes a self destroying decision rather than getting destroyed by other.
Overall the movie is still a well made movie but looses its novelty due to directors lack of ideas and resorts to his own tried and tasted tricks for completing the story.
