Badmaash Company
Release Date: 07,May 2010 Director: Parmeet Sethi Producer: Aditya Chopra Starring : Shahid Kapur, Anushka Sharma, Meiyang Chang, Vir Das, Anupam Kher, Kiran Juneja, Pawan Malhotra, Jameel Khan About Movie Badmaash Company is a film directed by actor turned debutante director Parmeet Sethi. The script and dialogues of this film are also written by him. The script and dialogues of the film have been written in only six days but the film does not give the feeling that it is a hurried job or directed by debutante director.
Karan (Shahid Kapoor) is clear that he doesn't want to spend his life as a worker drone like his dad. Karan dreams of getting rich quick. He starts out as a carrier for a small-time smuggler and eventually moves his way up to bigger con jobs and bigger bucks. Three friends Bulbul (Anushka), Zing (Meiyang Chang) and Chandu (Vir Das) join him on this stratospheric journey, which ends in self-destructive decadence, avarice, fighting, break-up, regret and various life lessons learnt with most important one being honesty is the best policy.
The best thing about Badmaash Company is that you identify with the mindset of those who aspire to reach the pinnacle of success using shortcuts. The scams and the con games the youth indulge in are easy to decipher and least complicated, which works in its favour. Another strong point is the camaraderie that the four actors share on screen. The film would've fallen flat if the chemistry was missing, but the bonding looks so real that you forget that they are merely enacting those roles.
Acting wise, Shahid Kapoor is top notch. He is just superb and natural. He delivers a flawless performance. Anushka Sharma is a big surprise. She is totally different from her previous role in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. She looks stunning. Meiyang Chang adds a lot of freshness and zing to his character. Vir Das is terrific. Anupam Kher is amazing. Kiran Juneja makes her presence felt. Pawan Malhotra is extremely likeable.
On the whole, Badmaash Company is a well intended film. It has great moments. Watch it for Shahid's another marvelous performace.
