Awesome Movie

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Ram Gopal Varma is a man of extremes because he can sometimes make quite bad movies, as well as come up with masterpieces like Satya,Rangeela,Sarkar,Company etc..Company is probably the best directed RGV movie along with Satya, the film gives an exact, detailed and working of Mumbai underworld,as well as showing the relationship b/w dons Malik(Ajay) and Chandu(Vivek) loosely based on the relationship of Dawood Ibrahim and Chota Rajan and their rivalry.The film highlights the economics behind running an Indian mafia organization. In the opening of the film, Ajay Devgan describes the modus operandi of underworld. He states "Despite anybody telling anything else, in this world everything is done for profit, so is this business. We don't pay taxes, neither do we keep accounts; For this work is done by inducing fear. Anybody can join us anytime, but can never resign. Whoever breaks our law, is broken by us. Here friendship, respect or honesty, the only real reason behind all these is same thing -- Profit". During murder / extortion scenes following, Ajay Devgan adds "profit happens -- like this, like this or like that".The story revolves around a young man named Chandu (played by Vivek Oberoi) joining the world of crime in the Mumbai underworld to "make it big" someday. Gradually he learns tricks of the trade and increases the gang's earnings and profits. This leads to his affinity with Malik (played by Ajay Devgan) who is the leader of the gang.The film features one cold blooded murder scene wherein Malik and Chandu kill Saeed and his brother Anis in the rear seat of the car on a chilling rainy day. Thereafter Malik goes on a bloody rampage killing all his opponents, so as to take the reins of underworld in his hands.They include his rival gang leader and colleague under Aslam's umbrella Sharma, who was in a meeting with police inspector Rathod, also killed off. Inspector Rathod, who once tortured and abused Chandu in jail in early days, was also killed at Malik's permission.However, both come at loggerheads during the execution of a contract killing. The contract was from a politician who tries to use Malik's gang to eliminate a front-runner, a contender for Home Minister's post.The rift between Chandu and Malik widens due to various misunderstandings. The Commissioner of Police, Sreenivasan IPS (Mohanlal) makes use of the rift to bring the mafia under control. Chandu and Malik end up becoming bitter enemies. After Chandu's retaliation of the assassination of his life long friend of one of lieutenants Warsi, two factions of Mumbai's once most powerful gang 'Company' went to a full scale war.Malik and Chandu killed as many members of each opponent gangs as possible. Sreenivasan, as the police chief of the city of murders due to the war, became criticized greatly, but he and his men knew this war ultimately is shortening the to do list of his department. Big number of button men and lieutenants from both gangs were being killed. The war results in an intense chase sequence shot in Kenya where Malik hires hit men to kill Chandu.However Chandu survives, though he is injured severely. Sreenivasan convinces Chandu to come back to Mumbai and fight his war with Malik by helping the police bring the mafia under control.The film reaches its climax when Chandu kills the politician (the mastermind of the contract killing) within the prison. At the same time, one of Chandu's aides named Koda Singh, who swore revenge to kill who went against his friend Chandu, shoots Malik point blank to death in Hong Kong.This shows, Chandu and Malik came to a truce but Chandu never withdrew his order to Koda to kill Malik. It's not confirmed that whether Chandu has forgotten to withdraw his orders or deliberately kept that on. But, after the assassination Sreenivasan notified Chandu and Chandu became tremendously shocked at this news. So, possibly Chandu forgot to send a come back call to Koda.Koda Singh was arrested by Hong Kong Police on that day. The film ends, showing Chandu spending the rest of his life in prison after being persuaded by the Police Commissioner to surrender.Among the cast Ajay is great, Mohanlal is brilliant as usual, Vivek is excellent in this one, hard to believe this was his first movie, Manisha is good,Antara is alright for once,the rest of the cast is perfectly chosen and do their jobs efficiently.The movie is gritty and intense, the background score by Sandeep Chowta suits the mood of the movie perfectly, music by Sandeep Chowta is excellent with some very good songs like "Khallas","Sab Ganda Hai","Tumse Kitna Pyaar Hai"...This movie is among the best gangster movies ever made in Bollywood along with Satya,Vaastav,Parinda and Agneepath...Company is definitely one of the best DIRECTED movies made in Bollywood.A Salute to RGV for this one.

This is yet another entertaining gangster flick by Ram Gopal Verma that comes close but falls a bit short of 'Satya'. The plot of Company is engrossing but Vivek's character isn't as interesting as JD Chakravarti in Satya. The film is slickly directed but remains gritty. The first hour and a half is brilliantly paced. However, the last forty minutes or so sees the plot slowing down and the film ends a touch predictably. Ajay Devgun, Vivek Oberoi and Manisha Koirala are all very good, but Mohanlal effortlessly steals the show with his understated performance. Worth watching.Overall 8/10

Perhaps I'm the only person to have ever walked on planet earth who declines to accept "Company" to be something great! No, this movie is nothing great (except for the performance of the actors/actresses, which was very good nonetheless!), nor has it anything original to offer. It's just that we're afraid to say that the great Ram Gopal Verma could be mediocre (because that might show that I'm not elite), and so we keep saying that this movie is great!!The storyline is well-known to anyone who keeps even a peripheral track of what happens in the Bombay underworld, be it during Haji Mustan Karim Lala days, or the age of Dawood Bhai and Chhota Rajan. Mohanlal resembled a partially mentally challenged guy, more than the great, benevolent, foresightful police officer his role was supposed to depict.Curse me if you like, but I will never see anything great about this movie!

Seeing main review on IMDb was really disappointing,since i am a big fan of this site,in terms of reviews,But this review i am afraid is ridiculous in terms of comparison making.Comparing Goodfellas with this masterpiece is an insult to Ram Gopal Verma.I think,Indian reviewers or critics are in habit of seeing plagiarization of English movies and therefore they alway go on with Grandiloquence about the Movies that are made with exceptions.I have always been a great fan of RGV films.probably because i have watched English movies throughout my life and i hated the mainstream Genre of commercial films(the so-called Formula films) viz Karan Johar or Shah Rukh tag films.Amidst all this chaos,there emerged Ram Gopal Varma who had the guts and creativity and perhaps technical excellence to compete with Hollywood.The Film "COMPANY" is no exception.It wastes no time,the story is tight.Even the Song-Khallas with which Isha Koppikar gained popularity was a "PUN" or a double meaning song and provided some lightness to otherwise tight plot.The story of "COMPANY" draws inspiration from real Life(In case of GOOD FELLAS,the real life inspiration was not that accurate,Tony De Vito was called a psychic Killer and a Murderer,whose role in the robbery wasn't apparently well known and wasn't established,so as to say.Only Joe Pesci had made this guy more popular.The story as we all know is about feud between two gangsters,namely Malik and Chandu which reminds us of real life feud between Chhota Rajan and Dawood Ibrahim(which Mr. RGV promptly denies in having association with).The story spills out details with generation of thrill in every frame of the movie and manages to keep us up till the end.Narrations are excellent.Unlike Godfather,in which the first half you feel like sleeping,because of lack of any pacy background scores etc,the music keeps us interested till the very end.Ajay Devgun shows what an actor can do in a film without having to say much.He's given powerful(and yes,better than Marlon Brando) performance.Vivek A.K.A chandu Oberoi is magnificent in his first role.And no! Rani Bai's character is NOT a wasteful one.
