Badmaash Company - Shahid Kapoor / Yash Raj [DVD]

Life in the 1990's was remarkably different for the
average Indian. Consumerism had not set in. It was devoid of most of the
luxuries of the West. In fact everything "imported" was good, and everything
Indian, passé.BADMAASH COMPANY is an extraordinary story set in the 1990's in
middle class Bombay (as it was known then), of four ordinary youngsters Karan
(Shahid Kapoor), Bulbul (Anushka Sharma), Chandu (Vir Das) and Zing (Meiyang
Chang) who came together to start an import business of things longed for by
yuppie Indians! What made their venture such a stupendous success was the fact
that they found a way to beat the system and soon became the undisputed kings
in their business, realising their one dream of making quick money by doing
all the wrong things†the right way!Living the life of champagne wishes and
caviar dreams, the four friends discover that to make a business successful
you don't need big money. All you need is a big idea! With their larger than
life schemes, the four go on a wild roller coaster ride into the world of
sheer glitz and glamour where the stakes are high and risks even higher!All
was well and hunky dory till one day the four maverick entrepreneurs are
forced to shut shop†until they come up with yet another perfect plan to beat
the system... Just one more time...! Review Parmeet Sethi walks the tight rope
of handling a complex subject and offering entertainment simultaneously, in
his very first film. To his credit, the film has several poignant and
enjoyable moments that catch you by complete surprise. The film has it all --
the writing has the power to keep the viewer hooked and the performances are
spectacular! --platform47.com The story line looks very different and unique
and written well by debutant director Parmeet Sethi who also has written the
dialogues for the film. Badmaash Company has some great foot tapping music
numbers by music director Pritam and lyrics are penned nicely by Anvita Dutt.
With Shahid Kapoor expecting a great dance performance is just normal and for
that Ahmed Khan has been roped in to lend choreography for the movie. After
Kaminey, Shahid Kapoor successfully has proved his mettle as an actor who can
handle shades of grey in his character very well. In Badmaash Company also you
will find him in a really different avatar which is far far away from his
current chocolate boy image. --platform47.com
