This is the story of todays corrupt youths who wants to get rich quick. Shahid Kapoor and friends are doing the lead roles. One-picture-old Anushka Sharma who’s trying something unusual from her debut movie (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, also with the Yash Raj banner) where she performed a simple and sweet Punjabi girl, as in contrast to now – a sizzling would-be model. Morals don’t have much to do in their show me the cash schemes and they choose to go with the corrupt deal. Majority of the movie was picturised in Bangkok in Thailand. The movie was partially shot in Mumbai, Philadelphia and Newyork.
The four friends initiated a business that was planned to crack the system with a goal of getting them rich overnight. On their road to the riches they committed all kinds of sinful and forbidden deeds, but with a legal method. They believed in the fact that every business needed a brilliant plan rather than huge cash investment.
Each actor in this film has delivered energy-packed performances, that develop into a huge trump card for this movie. Shahid embarks upon a dangerous path with his buddies to unleash one shady business deal one after the other. Shahid Kapoor hits the nail on the skull yet for a second time. Watch out for his finding of a pregnant Anushka, and his argument with her on her finding of his green card surprise. Other scenes where he’s done really perfectly well have to be the ones with Anupam Kher – emotionally strong ones. Anushka is yet another revelation. Rather than going into safe mode by being stereotyped as the simple girl, she’s gone upfront and done something tangentially different than her first film in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi about 2 years ago. Her bold and casual act takes you by shock and impresses one and all- she is assurance personified.
Badmash Company is released in theatres on, the 7th of May 2010. The movie is directed by Permeet Sethi and produced by Yash Chopra, Aditya Chopra and Aashish Singh. Music is by Pritam Chakrborty.
The film ends up providing us with ample doses of enjoyment value, what with a actually well-written script, supported by admirable performances by the cast and rock-solid production values by the makers of the movie! And the best part about the movie is regardless of carrying the tag of the ‘fun, fresh film that wants to entertain us’, the picture never ends up insulting your intellect, something Parmeet Sethi should be applauded of. This one’s a must-watch, and a must-support too.
