I did expect, the four main characters to be all based on real-life people. They were youngsters Karan (Shahid Kapoor),Chandu (Vir Das) and Zing (Meiyang Chang)who had just completed their studies, and Bulbul (Anushka Sharma) from Jaipur who had come to Mumbai to become a Model. They all come together, on a trip to Bangkok, courtesy smuggling...and eventually start Friends & Company..
The moral of the movie is To make money, you need to have an idea, rather than big money... and dont use your idea in a bad way....
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!
First Shoes in Mumbai, and then in US gloves, real estate, Madras bleeding shirts, and playing in the stock market....with individual dreams of Music store and Restaurants...
Success goes to the head of Karan, the Friends break up and come together again, and even the family...Story is just that....But is'nt it true? Success do go into peoples head, and they belive themselves to be great, It is really difficult to work with such people, and also it is useless to discuss with them, and indeed things are destiny...
Film locations do take you to the life and style in New York, Atlantic city (Trump Taj Casino),Philadelphia, Bangkok and Mumbai.
Life in the 1990`s was remarkably different for the average Indian, and indeed the LPG (librelisation, Privitisation and globelisation) by the architect of modern India our own PM Manmohan sing, have changed the lives of the people...
Anupam Kher winning the 25 year award, reminded me of my father winning it, in API...JFK airport at NY, reminded me of my entry there....
It was also a news for me that Shahid Kapoor, was the son of Pankaj Kapoor (Karamchand) and Neelima Azim, when he was three they got divorced and Pankaj Kapoor married Supriya Pathak.
I enjoyed the move, it brought to my mind many things...whats your say??
am yet to see the movie...dont think will in the near end. looks like u liked the movie:)
ReplyDeleteThe moral of the film is you can cheat some people sometimes but you can't cheat all the people all the time. If you want real entrepreneurial success which is long lasting you have to be true to your word.
