Karan falls in love with Bulbul, and tells her that he always wanted to start his own business however his father Sajjan Kapoor wants him to do an MBA first. On the other hand, Bulbul confesses that she wants to be a supermodel, and advises Karan that he does not need a large amount of money to start a business, but a big "idea".
Back in India, Sajjan has a heart attack. Karan's mother Maya pawns her jewelry in order to arrange money for better medical facilities, and an AC room at the hospital as his insurance could only afford a small room with a fan. This leaves Karan heart-broken, and he immediately decides to get rich by any means. He starts his own business venture along with his friends. He comes up with an idea for smuggling branded Reebok shoes into India, without any customs charges. For this, they have to separate the consignment into two-halves, one half with only left shoes in Calcutta and the other half with only right shoes in Madras. At both places, the buyer will refuse to receive the consignment, hence the entire consignment will be confiscated.The confiscated consignment will then be auctioned to which Chandu (in Calcutta) and Karan (in Madras) will buy the entire consignment, posing as scrap dealers. Once they pair the right pair shoes with the left pair shoes, the zero-valued product comes into a full value, which they sell at any price without any customs charges. They name their venture "Friends and Company" and proceed to make a large fortune with it.
Zing and Chandu get into an argument because Zing abuses Linda. Karan and Zing get into an argument about Zing's excessive drinking. Zing leaves and opens his own bar. Bulbul leaves when she finds out that Karan has married another woman. Chandu marries Linda and quits the company to start a clean video store business alongside her. Alone and heartbroken, Karan visits India and secretly attends a function where Sajjan is being honored for his years of service to his company. Upon seeing this, he realizes his mistake and returns to America, where he is arrested and is jailed for six months. He is bailed out by Bulbul, Zing and Chandu. Bulbul gives up Zing's, Chandu's and her share of profits from what they earned in the company.
Karan starts working with his uncle Jazz. One day, Karan coincidentally meets Bulbul, who is revealed to be pregnant with his child and they both reconcile. At Uncle Jazz's office, Karan finds out that his uncle's entire consignment of imported shirts from Madras has been rejected due to the color of the shirt changing after being washed, causing Jazz company's share fall down to 30%.Karan sees an opportunity and comes up with another idea and patches up with Zing, Chandu and his family to start another venture.
The public goes crazy over this new shirt, due to which Karan receives another order, this time for a much larger number of shirts. The shares of Jazz's company skyrocket as the public buy many more shirts, hence recovering his Uncle Jazz's loss. Karan, Zing, Chandu, and Bulbul are now partners with Jazz in "Friends and Company", and grow it into a public limited company. Now with his wife, son, friends and having made his father proud, Karan is finally content with his genuine and happy life.
Parmeet Sethi wrote the script for the film with dialogues in only six days. The four main characters are all based on real-life people. Parmeet reveals that he was tired of television and was keen on pursuing film direction.[3] Filming locations for the film included New York, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Bangkok, Mumbai, and Hyderabad.
The film received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave it a rating of 3 out of 5, saying; "On the whole, Badmaash Company is a watchable experience for various reasons, the prime reason being it offers solid entertainment, but doesn't insult your intelligence."[4] Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave the movie 1.5 out of 5 and claimed it to be "outrageously silly".[5] Gaurav Malani of Indiatimes gave the film 3.5 out of 5 saying "Badmaash Company is a good entertainer. Worth a watch!" and praising Shahid Kapoor.[6] Komal Nahta gave the film 2.5 out of 5, praising the performance of Kapoor and called Badmaash Company "an entertainer".[7] Sukanya Verma of rediff gave the film 2 out of 5 stars saying Sethi's directorial debut starts out with cocksure confidence and zing.[8]
Nikhat Kazmi of the Times of India gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and said, "Indeed, Badmaash Company does have a bunch of riveting scenes, although the story does follow a very predictable line of crime and punishment/repentance."[9] DNA gave the film 2.5 out of 5 saying, "This company is worth keeping."[10] Anupama Chopra of NDTV called it a "staggeringly tedious film" while Raja Sen of Rediff said, "There's not a single scene in the film that actually works". Mayank Shekhar of the Hindustan Times criticized the film as half-written; he only liked the film until the interval and gave it 2 out of 5.[11] The film received an aggregate rating of 4/10 at ReviewGang.[12]
It's all very technical, you see. Con capers test a viewers' willingness to acknowledge a scam for what it's worth. Even the slightest prejudice and it won't work. I mean, what is a con really? Pulling off the ludicrously unthinkable, agreed? By rule it cannot be right or make sense. If it did, it wouldn't be a sting but business as usual.
Remember the 'all THAT bad' in the original inquiry? Here comes the not-so-good part. Personally, I hate breaking a film into two parts but there's no other way to review Badmaash Company, which is like watching two movies.
Badmaash Company is set sometime in the 1990s, when getting bigger than one's boots wasn't 'in' yet. Here, in one of those Khosla Ka Ghosla prototypes reside a dedicated-to-desk dad (Anupam Kher), and cabbage-chopping mom (Kiran Juneja) along with their too-smart ass-to pursue-an-MBA son (Shahid Kapoor).
Least interested in following the 9-to-5 path his dad endorses, he sets out to realise his instant money-making schemes. To achieve that the lad forges a company with his three pals -- a skirt chaser (Vir Das), a boozer (Meiyang Chang) and a brazen babe (Anushka Sharma) resorting to twisted tricks and get-ups to evade tax and yield profit.
The foursome bears eager, exuberant chemistry. Shahid and Anushka make visible effort to rise above their cursory characters and badly-written lines on the strength of their charismatic screen presence. The script, however, stubbornly cripples their co-stars Das and Chang from making any progress or impression. They are little more than props or occasional source of amusement.
For better or worse, actor-turned-director Parmeet Sethi doesn't spell things aloud so much. Although he gives into the temptation of a voice-over narrative, Sethi doesn't over think his protagonists or their motives, laying them out as they come giving his audience the liberty to figure them out on their own.
What appears to uphold the feature's chilled-out state during the first-half soon fizzles into no-fun zone. One fine day, characters, without any real provocation begin to suffer from conscience pangs, flustered egos and inflated self-esteem.
As much as you appreciate the absence of mafia run-ins and telephonic blackmails in this game of bluff, it soon becomes clear that Badmaash Company plans to rest on the laurels of one measly ploy throughout the film. And so you have the same trick recycled against a medley of make-up aided camouflage and David Holmes-inspired background score (provided by Julius Packiam).
Being predictable is not its only crime. For the longest time, it rambles about painfully to underscore Shahid's riches to rags moment. Just when you think Sethi's made his point on greed and honesty, Badmaash Company comes up with a new brainchild titled Bleeding Madras.
It's not a great film by any measure. But it's not offensive either. Badmaash Company with its sufficiently glossy visuals (camerawork by Sanjay Kapoor) is watchable to an extent, even if only for its relevant, potentially-fine theme of a materialism-driven generation and its accommodating ethics when it comes to making quick, big bucks. Too bad it's never exploited beyond the actors' well-sculpted surface and designer wardrobe.
