Plot: Bollywood phenom Ramgopal Varma's dark action movie stars Ajay Devgan and Vivek Oberoi as rising gangsters--and close friends--who have a falling-out over perceived slights and become deadly enemies.
Under the leadership of underworld Don Aslam Bhai (Madan Joshi) flourishes a criminal empire in Bombay. His close associates are Mallik (Ajay Devgan) and Chandrakant alias Chandu (Vivek Oberoi). Awaiting the right opportunity, Mallik and Chandu take over from Aslam, and become the two heads of his criminal empire. Times change, and the two also decide to change with the times, and legitimize their empire to a very large extent and call it "Company". Differences arise between easy-going & emotional Chandu and the technical & matter of fact Mallik. A lot of missundersatandings develop between once very good friends, Chandu loses ground and face. He decides to take matters in his own hand & set things right. He breaks away from the gang, and as a result a war results between those loyal to him on one side, and those loyal to Mallik, on the other. Mallik's forces prove to be stronger, Chandu must decide if he compromise with Mallik or go on the right path.
Ram Gopal Varma is also responsible for reviving many careers. this movie made an actor out of Vivek Oberoi who is yet to give such a performance again. Ajay Devgan was totally outstanding. With Company, Varma's fetish for unearthing the mechanics of the underworld continues. Company takes a macro view of the international crime scene. It is a lavish, larger-than-life crime story inspired by the real life friends-turned-foes story of notorious gangsters Dawood Ibrahim and Chotta Rajan (played by Ajay Devgan and Vivek Oberoi respectively)
Good story, well directed, the duo Devgan/Oberoi works perfectly and great performance for Viveik's first movie.
This film is a true synthesis of Bollywood and western film, unlike the multitude of Bollywood-imitating-the-west films coming out of Mumbai. Its a reinterpretation of the Scorsese style crime dramas, much as Hong Kong did in the eighties, only with elements of Indian culture. Great cinematography.
