Karan (Shahid Kapoor) is clear that he doesn't want to spend his life as a worker drone like his dad. Karan dreams of getting rich quick. He starts out as a carrier for a small-time smuggler and eventually moves his way up to bigger con jobs and bigger bucks. Three friends Bulbul (Anushka), Zing (Meiyang Chang) and Chandu (Vir Das) join him on this stratospheric journey, which ends in self-destructive decadence, avarice, fighting, break-up, regret and various life lessons learnt with most important one being honesty is the best policy.


The best thing about Badmaash Company is that you identify with the mindset of those who aspire to reach the pinnacle of success using shortcuts. The scams and the con games the youth indulge in are easy to decipher and least complicated, which works in its favour. Another strong point is the camaraderie that the four actors share on screen. The film would've fallen flat if the chemistry was missing, but the bonding looks so real that you forget that they are merely enacting those roles.

Acting wise, Shahid Kapoor is top notch. He is just superb and natural. He delivers a flawless performance. Anushka Sharma is a big surprise. She is totally different from her previous role in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. She looks stunning. Meiyang Chang adds a lot of freshness and zing to his character. Vir Das is terrific. Anupam Kher is amazing. Kiran Juneja makes her presence felt. Pawan Malhotra is extremely likeable.

Overall Badmaash Company is wonderful film by debutante directtor Parmeet Sethi. The film really offers a good entertainments.
