Superb Performances!
namashi_12 September 2014
'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.

nice movie with a different concept
mailpratikkumar11 September 2012
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.

Ranvir Shorey was Excellent in the movie
deepak-sharma56025 October 2012
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.

An outstanding movie.......
dwslink22 October 2012
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.

I m 24 is a movie which everyone must watch,you will enjoy the movie,Each and every scene in the movie makes you laugh all the time and the person makes you laugh all the time is Ranvir Shorey along with Rajat Kapoor. Both were at their best,I really like them in their characters,both were so much real.Other than this,i really like the title of the movie,I m 24,and the tile forces me to watch this movie.The movie is about a man who fails in his life,in all his work,professional and personal life,and hates lies and liers but at one point of time where situation comes and he has to take lie as a support to win his love and started liking his life all of a sudden.

A movie for the fans of Rajat Kapoor & Ranvir Shorey.
sanjay-bose88829 November 2012
'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.

Funny ride on truth and lies
rawatbhanu6120 November 2012
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.

Interesting movie with different storyline and complete different concept
anjali-gahlot2229 November 2012
I m 24,directed by Saurabh Shukla,is a very interesting movie with different storyline and complete different concept.It is said that this movie is based on real life incident.The story demands comedy as well as romance and the actor Rajat Kapoor fulfill all the things this movie demands.The movie is just awesome,everything in the movie is just perfect.Either it is acting,or direction,or dialogs.The movie also casts Ranvir Shorey,i have seen him in various comic movies but for me this is his best performance ever.Apart from this two great actors,other actors Manjari Fadnis and Neha Dhupia,also good in the movie.All have done a very good job.

Ride of lies and truth
geetarani20123 November 2012
I M 24 is a film for people who love watching comedy films with lots of drama and suspense.It is also a very rare and great opportunity for the fans of Ranvir Shorey,one of the lead characters in the film, to see his superb acting. The movie is directed by comedian Saurabh Shukla.Rajat Kapoor is in the lead role of Shubendu and is brilliant in his role.Manjari Fadnis,who plays the role of Kanika,also the dream girl of Shubendu is really good in the film. Ranvir is brilliant as Gagandeep and for me he is the one who is the backbone of the film. It is a different film drama,suspense,comedy and romance.The ride of lies and truth is awesome one and can be enjoyed only when we watch it.

A good attempt by Saurabh Shukla.
mohitkumar7401 November 2012
I M 24 is a sweet romantic comedy starring Ranvir Shorey and Rajat Kapoor. Directed by Saurabh Shukla,the movie is a good attempt by the director and has turned out really well.I saw it in the theater and most of the people had a great time there enjoying the movie with laughter all the time.The movie is entertaining all the way and has some really good and nice music.Rajat Kapoor and Ranvir Shorey are really good in the movie and have given outstanding performance. Manjari Fadnis and Neha Dhupia are also a part of the film in which Manjari Fadnis plays the role of Kanika for whom Shubendu, played by Rajat Kapoor falls for and is changed completely. I M 24 is an out and out comedy movie that is full of comic scenes and some lovely performances by Rajat Kapoor and Ranvir Shorey.

lokesh-singh44430 October 2012
Movie based on the a guy who started liking a girl who is almost half of his age and to be with her,he starts lying about his age,about his profession to her while chatting on the internet.There was a time in the movie when he hates liar and at some point of time,he himself has to lie.The person who helps him in his lies is his roommate which is played by Ranvir Shorey.The way Ranvir Shorey acts in the movie,his comic timing,his dialogs are excellent.Not only Ranvir Shorey but other actors,Rajat kapoor,Neha dhupia,Manjari fadnis,are also brilliant. The movie is from Arindam Chaudhuri's Planman Production,all the movies of Arindam Chaudhuri is really nice and so as this.Must watch.

An ultimate romantic comedy.
nutan-xalxo872 November 2012
I M 24 is Rajat Kapoor and Ranvir Shorey's film.Both have performed exceptionally well in the movie.Added to that the funny story line,the movie is a very well made and funny one. Saurabh Shukla writer and director of the film has done a commendable job. The music and songs of the film are simply awesome and I particularly like Do lafzo ki. It is one of my favourite songs.Rest of the songs are also very nice. Talking about the movie and performance,Ranvir Shorey is the trump card in this one in the role of Gagandeep with a splendid performance.Rajat Kapoor as Shubendu is also awesome.He is in the lead role of a 42 years old man who falls in love with a much younger girl and in order to impress her goes on to tell a series of lies.The lies and the goof ups really make the entire movie really funny and entertaining.Overall it is an ultimate romantic comedy.

Movie makes you laugh throughout and even after the movie
debasish-nag837 January 2013
I m 24 is a movie that completely belongs to all those who like to watch the comedy movies,and this type of movies comes very rarely which makes you laugh throughout and even after the movie.The movie not only makes us laugh but also contain adventurous moments where you can't predict,what will happen next.

The storyline based on a 42 year old man failure in his life,in his carrier and one day,he started liking a girl who is half of his age near about 24 years.The person helps him to lie was his room mate Gagan played by Ranvir Shorey who used to lie all the time as for him,lying is better than speaking truth.

A cute romantic comedy!
manishyadav69030 October 2012
Planman Motion Pictures's latest venture I M 24 is a very cute romantic comedy.It has been directed and written by Saurabh Shukla. I M 24 stars Neha Dhupia,Manjari Fadnis,Rajat Kapoor and Ranveer Shorey. Rajat Kapoor and Ranveer Shorey play the role of Shubendu and Gagandeep respectively.Shubendu is a 42 years old man who does not believe in lying and so lived in the world of truth.But a time comes when he meets Kankika(Manjari Fadnis) and falls for her.This is the time when he begins telling lies.Gagandeep,his friend and room mate helps him to a huge extent by cooking up stories and goof ups.Shubendu enjoys all this and realizes how much fun lying could be.But all this had to come to an end at certain point.How does everything turn out and what happens next is really interesting.Go and watch the film to experience the real fun.

Ranvir - backbone of the film
fatima_farnandis5 April 2013
The movie is directed by comedian Saurabh Shukla.Rajat Kapoor is in the lead role of Shubendu and is brilliant in his role.Manjari Fadnis,who plays the role of Kanika,also the dream girl of Shubendu is really good in the film. Ranvir is brilliant as Gagandeep and for me he is the one who is the backbone of the film.

I M 24 is the story of Shubendu(Rajat Kapoor) a middle aged bald and simple man.He falls in love with Kanika(Manjari Fadnis),a very young,pretty and bold lady.Both are completely opposite in nature but Shubendu falls in love with her and to win over her love,tells lies,something he never tried before.Gagandeep played by Ranvir Shorey helps Shubendu by cooking up stories.This is what this ultimate romantic comedy is all about.

Rajat Kapoor's finest big screen performance till date
shabnam-kaur77712 December 2012
I m 24 is a 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.

I M 24 has all elements of a good funny movie.The movie deals with a 42years old man Shubendu. 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.He is supported very well by in all this by his friend Gagandeep,played by Ranvir Shorey.

Small budget movie with great storyline
ved-prakash55511 December 2012
I am always curious to know about the planman production movies because although the movies are small budget films but their subject,story, screenplay,dialogs are just awesome.I was waiting from a long time for planman productions to release such a nice movie and they came,this time with comedy,not just comedy but awesome comedy.

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.

great entertainment by planman motion pictures!
pankaj-malhotra88821 January 2013
Saying the truth was always difficult, and lying, they say, is much simpler.This is the main thing depicts in the movie.Shubendu; Rajat Kapoor hates speaking lies but one day he meets a girl who is half of his age and he started liking her.To impress her,he used to lie about his age in front of her on the internet chat and at some point of time he used to enjoy by lying. About Music,'I Am 24' is a theme based album, which has songs that may go well with the films mood. I M 24,said to based on the life of Saurabh Shukla himself by many people,is the story of a 42 yrs old man,Shubendu,played by Rajat Kapoor.He is a very honest person throughout his life and someone who hates lie.Ranvir and Rajat are the stars in this film.Watch it guys,I assure you won't be disappointed at all.The ending is really superb and should be seen to see what exactly happens in the life of Shubendu after so many lies.A full tooo masti throughout!!
