Company

Director: Ram Gopal Varma
: A slickly made film with fantastic performances by   Ajay and Vivek make for a great opening in major         cities.
: Too much violence. The film with its docu-drama   format gets too heavy especially in the latter half, with         no comic or romantic track to provide relief.
