'I AM 24' offers Superb Performances, which alone, are worth watching. As a film, its decent, but a monotonous second-hour acts as a deterrent.
Saying the truth was always difficult, and lying, they say, is much simpler. Shubendu lives by the tougher option. But when this honest, 42 year old balding writer falls in love with a 22 year old beauty queen, he is tempted to lie. What's more, his jerk of a roommate, Gagan, who swears by the magic of lies, helps him cook up stories. What follows is a hilarious ride of lies, cover-ups, goof-ups and contradicting tales.
'I AM 24' has an interesting premise & most of the jokes/sequences work, but they are limited in its first-hour. The second-hour is monotonous & lacks proper pacing. Once the protagonist, played by Rajat Kapoor, decides to spill out the truth to his lady-love, one expects the graph to go higher, but sadly, it doesn't. Also, the climax looks hurried.
The Screenplay is good in the first-hour, but slips in the second-hour. Saurabh Shukla's Direction is simplistic. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are fair.
Performance-Wise: Rajat Kapoor is wonderfully restrained. He's in terrific form here. Ranvir Shorey is fun to watch. His comedic areas stand out. Neha Dhupia is simply brilliant. Manjari does a passable job. Vijay Raaz is, as always, first-rate. Saurabh Shukla shows up in an entertaining cameo.
On the whole, 'I AM 24' appeals in parts, but the performances win you over.

A middle aged man who resorts to lies in order to retain the love of his life and the struggles of budding actors who hope to make it big.This is what'I M 24' is all about.A movie directed by Saurabh Shukla,the movie has been produced by Arindam Chaudhuri's Planman Motion Pictures.Rajat Kapoor playing the role of a hesitant middle aged man to the hilt. Ranvir Shorey and Neha Dhupia have made a nice contribution and make the audience burst into laughter with their childish antics. Lilette Dubey and Saurabh Shukla who played on screen couple fit the bill perfectly with their acting wonder.Jatin Pandit's music is good and the songs are catchy as well. Overall I M 24 is a simple story that has been narrated in a simple manner and must be watched at least once.

Another planman Production with lot of fun and entertainment.I am a big fan of Ranvir Shorey and the way he acted in this movie,how he helps Rajat Kapoor to befool a girl on internet about his age,his dialogs,i like all of that.I have seen all the movies given by Planman Production and like all of that but this is the best movie i have seen.Movie with lot of fun,adventures,lies,romance.Very few movies contains all these things together and this is the one.Rajat kapoor Girl Manjri Fadnis is also good in this movie,but Ranvir Shorey acting,drama was awesome.I had a great fun while watching the movie.Those who haven't watch it,must watch,you'll had fun.

I m 24 starring Rajat Kapoor & Ranveer Shorey in the lead is an outright romantic comedy.It is about a middle aged man,played by Rajat kapoor who falls for a girl who is much younger than him.It is about how in his desire to get the girl's love in return he goes on to tell number of lies.This is where the plot begins and takes an interesting turn. Ranveer Shorey is good as always.This just might be one of his better performance.Neha Dhupia,Manjari and Rajat Kapoor have made valuable contributions to the movie. Go and watch the movie guys to know more about the how the movie moulds after so many lies and truths.It is an outstanding movie and worth each penny spent on it.
The movie is about a 42 year old guy played by Rajat Kapoor falls in love with a girl who is almost half of his age.The movie is about the guy who wants to get the girl's love and for that he goes on to tell number of lies.After this point,the movie takes an interesting turn.This is one of the best performance given by Ranvir Shorey in his career till now.Not only Ranvir Shorey but all the other actors,.Neha Dhupia,Manjari and Rajat Kapoor,are also very good and done their job brilliantly.Everything in the movie is just perfect. One of my favorite song from the movie is 'Abhi Abhi Toh Mere Dil Mein' is a slow soothing track that will touch your heart. Lyrics are meaningful and manage to convey emotions of the protagonist.
I M 24 is Saurabh Shukla's romantic comedy that will touch all hearts, both young and old.Directed and written by Saurabh Shukla,I M 24 is an outright comedy film that has brilliant performance by Rajat Kapoor as Shubendu and Ranvir Shorey as Gagandeep. The story of the film revolves around Shubendu,a 42 years old man who falls for a very young girl Kanika played by Manjari Fadnis.It is about how,Shubendu a very honest and truth loving person.How Shubendu starts lying to impress Kanika. The movie takes a new turn as it unfolds further. The music is really melodious and I really like two songs Abhi Abhi Mere Dil Mein and Dil Ye Pagal Maane.The movie is a thorough entertainment and Saurabh Shukla has really done a great job this time.

The movie is based on a 42 year old guy which only speaks truth in his life but Shubendu is compelled to throw his honesty out of the door and opts to lie in order to hide his age and present himself as a cool 24 year old chap before his new found love. All of a sudden, life gets all rosy and colorful for Shubendu as lying brings him a good job, a young sweetheart.He had no other option instead of cheating and lies to seek his love.Neha Dhupia and the surprisingly in-character Manjari Phadnis slip into the film with stealthy stilettos, creating for themselves a space in the boys' story without displacing the drama of desolation that runs through the plot.

The movie revolves around an old guy who falls in love with a girl who is almost half of his age and to impress that girl he has to take a wrong path and speaks lie to her while chatting with her on internet.His roommate helps him to impress that girl but soon he realize that lying is not necessarily the best way to win in love.This is not just the entertainment movie but also guide us in our real life that we should not take a wrong path and not lie in front of our love if we truly love someone. Today's generation prefer,used to talk on internet rather than meeting face to face and anybody can lie about themselves very easily ad we believe on them.we don't have time to gather the right information about that person.But after watching the movie,those who are lying to their love will surely realize that lying is not the best way to win their love.The movie is produced by Arindam Chaudhuri,i was already a big fan of him,i have seen all his movies as well as read all his books and after watching this movie i became a lot more big fan of him.

I have seen the movie I m 24 few days ago,it resembles me of Hritik Roshan Starrer Mujhse Dosti Karoge,the main difference is,that was romantic,emotional movie and this is comedy movie.Ranvir Shorey add four moons in the movie by his wonderful comedy.Ranvir Shorey was outstanding in his role.Those who haven't watched his comedy in I m 24,missed a lot. Basically the story is about a 42 year old guy who is failure in his profession and speaks only truth,either it helps him or not.But at one stage,he only speaks lie and he find that lying is mush easier than truth. The movie is produced by Mr. Arindam Chaudhuri,Planman motion pictures,and impress its audience by its Excellent comedy.

Ranvir Shorey is a man,who can make us laugh even if we are crying,he comic timing is just awesome.The way he acts,the way he do comedy in his movie makes me laugh all the time.This is the best comedy movie i have seen,not just best but more than the best.
I M 24 is about a man who is 42 but lies through his white teeth that he is a 24-year-old. He is a balding, righteous, aspiring screenwriter Shubendu Roy played by Rajat Kapoor, who lives with his friend, struggling actor Gagandeep Mishra by Ranvir Shorey. The simple and honest Shubendu started enjoying all the lies also because his friend Gagandeep was there for him.

I am 24 is a romantic comedy written and directed by Saurabh Shukla.It is an interesting movie and is very unpredictable as the audience have to keep guessing what's next.The movie might not be a huge budget film starring superstars but the fact is it is far far better than many of the huge hits of Bollywood.A movie that is something different and something that guarantees of many funny moments, good dialogues and some one liners that you wont find anywhere else.The movie has no superstar but still manages to attract huge crowds and entertain the audience. I m 24 is an outstanding romantic comedy and worth each penny spent on it. I find the movie very interesting and entertaining.People waiting for a decent romantic plus comedy film must watch this film. It surely won't disappoint you for sure.

One more Excellent movie given by Arindam Chaudhuri's Planman Pictures.I have seen all Planman production movies and love all the movies especially Do Dooni Char which is one of my favorite.Arindam Chaudhuri always came up with a movie which have very nice subject,nice storyline line.This time he came up with comedy with two best comic actors,Rajat Kapoor and Ranvir Shorey.The comic timing of both are really nice,in fact Excellent.They both are the finest comic actors in the bollywood industry. you will not understand this by reading the review,i advice you all should watch the movie,not because its Planman Production,but its one of the best comic movie i have seen.

I Am 24 is perhaps one of the best film on which you can spend your money on. Perfect comedy with lot of twists and turns and full of entertainment. I would never mind watching this film again and again just to see the superb performance by all the actors. I m 24 starts with a struggling writer Shubendu played by Rajat Kapoor and his roommate Gagan played by Ranvir Shorey.Shubendu started liking a girl,half of his age and to gain her love he lies,the man who helped him speaking more and more lies is his roommate Gagan, who was the biggest in this whole world.I M 24 is a movie that is something different and something that guarantees of many funny moments, good dialogs and some one liners that you wont find it anywhere else.

I M 24 is a very funny and romantic movie that seems to be liked by everyone. The Film is all about our day today life activities. Today's generation usually like to talk on internet,makes friends on internet instead of meeting,so anybody can speak lie about himself and we usually believe that but truth always wins as in this movie. Apart from this,Shukla does handle a few moments with flourish.Rajat Kapoor is natural to the core. Ranvir Shorey is fun to watch. Neha Dhupia is endearing. Manjari Fadnis suits the part. Saurabh Shukla, Lillete Dubey, Vijay Raaz and Delnaaz Paul are wonderful in their respective roles..On the whole,the movie is interesting and worth watching.

I M24 is the latest comedy film produced by Planman motion pictures. Written and directed by Saurabh Shukla,I M 24 is the story about truth, lies and all this related to a 42 years old man. Shubendu is this male protagonist played by Rajat Kapoor. For him speaking the truth was always best and easiest of task until one day he meets Kanika,played by Manjari Fadnis. Ranvir Shorey plays the role of Gagandeep who is also a friend of Shubendu.Shubendu always believed in truth is forced to lie, make stories to impress the girl who is almost half his age. Its about the funny ride of how he goes on and on to tell lies until one day he realizes all this one day had to come to an end. The simple and honest Shubendu started enjoying all these also because his friend Gagandeep was there for him.Manjari as Kanika is good. Neha Dhupia is also superb in her role. But Rajat and Ranvir are the pillars of this film who have provided a very strong foundation to it. without them I M 24 would not have been complete.Great work by everyone in the film and very good and interesting songs as well. I don't think people would really like to miss a movie like this.

I am 24 is about a man of 40 plus age who falls in love with a glady half his age.It is about a middle aged man who resorts to lies in order to retain the love of his life and the struggles of budding actors who hope to make it big.Shubendu,played by Rajat Kapoor falls for Kanka(Manjari Fadnis) and to impress her,he starts lying to huge extent, something he never tried. Gagan(Ranvir Shorey) on the other hand helps him to cook up fake stories to win over Kanka.This is what'I M 24' is all about.A movie directed by Saurabh Shukla,the movie has been produced by Arindam Chaudhuri's Planman Motion Pictures.Rajat Kapoor playing the role of a hesitant middle aged man to the hilt. Ranvir Shorey and Neha Dhupia have made a nice contribution and make the audience burst into laughter with their childish antics. Lilette Dubey and Saurabh Shukla who played on screen couple fit the bill perfectly with their acting wonder. Nobody should miss this movie as the movie is really nice and not to be missed.
'I M 24' is all about a man who is ready to cheat and lie to seek love since he is left with no other way. And just like a typical Hindi film, truth wins at the end and 'I M 24' is no exception.But the way it has been made is superb.Hats off to Saurabh Shukla.
Coming over to the performances by the actors, everyone has given their best shot to their respective roles. Ranvir Shorey manages to create a sparkling chemistry with Rajat Kapoor and even actors like Vijay Raaz, Neha Dhupia and Delnaz Paul have managed to add charm to the movie despite their short roles. Cinematographer Fuwad Khan has captured some beautiful locales of Mumbai which is a plus point for the movie. Go and watch this awesome romantic comedy for the brilliant performances by Ranvir Shorey and Rajat Kapoor. The movie's USP is the actors' performances and a few funny lines that will make you laugh throughout.

There's a man on the Internet chat. He is middle-aged, bald. The girl opposite him on the video-chat – though he can see her, she can't see him – is 24. The man claims to 24 too: 5 feet, 6.5 inches; black, curly hair. This is a romantic comedy. And while the guy isn't great to look at – since everything in this movie is about looks alone – I'm not sure he still deserves a girl as dumb as the one before him. These bunch of actors whom I usually enjoy, and because they have close off-screen linkages, their on-screen play is smooth. Sometimes too smooth, but almost always watchable because they are good at what they do.There are many good, sincere moments in the film which i like.
I am not fond of watching movies and never watch any movie more than once and this is the first time i find some different movie and i can watch it more than once. Really interesting movie and is very unpredictable as the audience have to keep guessing what's next.The movie might not be a huge budget film starring superstars but the fact is it is far far better than many of the huge hits of Bollywood.A movie that is something different and something that guarantees of many funny moments, good dialogues and some one liners that you wont find it anywhere else.The movie has no superstar but still manages to attract huge crowds and entertain the audience. I m 24 is a romantic comedy and is an absolute fun to watch..It is an outstanding movie and worth each penny spent on it. I find the movie very interesting and entertaining,and those who haven't watched it must go through it.

Rajat Kapoor playing the role of a hesitant middle aged man to the hilt. movie of a 42 years old man who falls in love with a very young girl.Shubendu is a middle aged bald man who falls for a very young woman,almost half his age.He is so much in love with her that he stars telling lies,something that he never tried before.Shubendu lived in the world of truth and he realized the fun in lies and fake stories only when he starts all this.Movie completely belongs to Ranvir Shorey.Ranvir Shorey is a mind blowing comic actor and in this movie I have loved each scene of his.once again he delivers a brilliant performance.This is Rajat Kapoor's finest big screen performance till date. He simply slips into the character and doesn't deviate an inch from his graph.

The movie based on the character by Rajat kapoor is an out and out comedy where he falls for a 24 years old lady.I M 24 is about how he goes on to tell series of lies to impress her.Gagandeep, played by Ranvir Shorey is superb in the film and helps Shubendu in his quest of impressing the girl.All are superb in the movie, particularly Ranvir Shorey and Rajat Kapoor.The music is really good and some of the songs are just too good. I M 24 is a rare movie of its kind and very different kind of comedy. It entertains you all throughout and does not let you sit idle or feeling bored. It an excellent romantic comedy.Those who haven't watched it,must watch.
