Corporate

A Madhur Bhandarkar film that tries to bring the world of corporate politics to the common man. It centers around the tug of war between two companies in the food industry with Nishi (Bipasha Basu) as the central character who uses every trick in the book to help her corporation. But finally karma catches up with her...

The plot could have worked but poor execution causes it to fall flat on its face. The wooden acting all around did not help either. Bipasha looks stunning through out the flick, but all she can manage is a constipated look in place of emotion. The saving grace are the two gossiping peons who appear sporadically through the movie.

Traffic Signal

A traffic signal in the downtown of any Indian city is a hub of activity with its hawkers, policeman, prostitutes and beggars. Madhur Bhandarkar's film tries to highlight the economy involved in such a place and the people who eke a meager living out of it. A slightly long winded movie which meanders around trying to make its point. Thankfully the viewers interest is never lost at any point.
