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.

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.

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.

anand-varsha883 November 2012
I M 24 is Saurabh Shukla's romantic comedy for the people of all age.It is the story of a 42 years old man who falls in love with a very young girl.The entire movie takes a very funny and interesting turn as it unfolds. I M 24 has all elements of a good funny movie.Added to all this the superb performance by Rajat Kapoor and Ranvir Shorey.Ranvir Shorey is a mind blowing comic actor and in this movie I have loved each scene of his.Rajat Kapoor who plays the role of Shubendu and the lead actor of the film is also superb. Both of these actors are very well supported by Neha Dhupia and Manjari Fadnis.I would never mind watching this film again and again just to see the superb performance by the two actors.

Good attempt by the director
dheerajsharma62014 January 2013
Ranvir Shorey is probably the biggest reason of comedy in the film. The way he delivers his lines and mouths funny dialogs cracks the audiences up almost instantly. I M 24 is the story of a 42 years old man Shubendu played by Rajat Kapoor.He is a truth loving and an honest person who never lied and did not know how interesting lies could be until he meets Kanika played by Manjari Fadnis.He falls in love with this very young girl.This is the time when he starts telling lies with the help of his friend Gagan played by Ranvir Shorey.Gagandeep helps Shubendu in cooking up interesting tales and lies so that he could impress Kanka.The movie is a good attempt by the director and has turned out really well.

Some beautiful locales of Mumbai
narmdakoshik30 January 2013
I m 24 is a movie with different storyline and with great comedy and best thing is with great actors.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.I M 24 revolves around the life of Shubendu Roy (Rajat Kapoor) a middle aged screen writer who wishes to make it big in Bollywood. He is simple and honest to the core. Gagandeep Mishra (Ranvir Shorey), his roommate is another aspiring actor who has come to the dreamland Mumbai to become a superstar. Unlike Shubendu, Gagandeep is street-smart and even resorts to lies without batting an eyelid.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.

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.

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.

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.

Movie with different and unique subject
s-sahrawat44413 December 2012
The trailer of the movie shows the brilliance of the actors and after watching the movie,you will realize,now a days,all movies are not same,some movies came differently with unique subject and if we talks about Arindam Chaudhuri,he is excellent in all his work and planman production always came with some different and unique subject.

The story is about a 42 year old guy who lies to retain his love who is half of his age and the person helps him in all his lies is his roommate played by Ranvir Shorey.He is excellent in the movie.The way he portrays his character was just awesome.Rajat Kapoor ,the main lead actor support him very well,they both were very good together.

Each actor does a commendable job
singhparvinder6602 November 2012
The premise of I M 24 is clearly of a man who doesn't like to lie, but life leaves him no choice. Don't they say Love ke liye kuch bhi karega! That's what Shubendu begins to think. Being a mainstream Hindi film the truth has to win over after a few hiccups. Performance wise, each actor does a commendable job.Ranvir Shorey's fine acting skills manages to create the same comical chemistry that he shares with Vinay Pathak, with Rajat.Neha, as a struggling actor who wants to be a star, is a pleasure to watch in the role she has been given.Even Vijay Raaz, who has very few scenes, makes a strong impression.From my side,the movie is worth watch.

For all the lovers
anita-yadav77715 December 2012
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.

The director Saurabh Shukla succeed to create good storyline and good impact on viewers with the film.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.

Fantastic performance by Ranvir Shorey
harkeshyadav5720 November 2012
When I first saw the trailer of the film,I realized a very funny romantic comedy was soon going to arrive.I was not wrong as the film for me and my friends was simply too awesome.What a fantastic performance by Ranvir Shorey.I have been fan of his since his film ugly aur pagli.He is too good as a comic hero and I won't think twice when it comes to watching his films. Saurabh Shukla has made a very nice film that's very funny and entertaining throughout.The songs are equally good and I like all tracks of the film. Rajat Kapoor playing the role of a 42years old man named Shubendu is also really nice.The dialog delivery of both these man and timing is superb.The two ladies Neha Dhupia & Manjari Fadnis are also good.I really like Manjari because she has carried herself really well ever since she made her debut in Rok sako to rok lo. Seriously there is no one who can stop people from watching this superb romantic comedy.

Very funny throughout
j-garg3215 January 2013
I have seen all movie from planman productions and my favorite was their debut movie Do Dooni Chaar.Planman production always entertain us with their excellent movie with excellent subjects.I m 24 is a Surabh Shukla directed movie and has many brilliant comic actors and and may brilliant comic scenes.The movie was very funny throughout.Both Ranvir Shorey and Saurabh Shukla were awesome in the movie.Their comic timing was mind blowing and together they creates spark in the movie.I M 24 is also about how Gagandeep(Ranvir Shorey) helps Shubendu to impress the love of his life. Shubendu falls for Kanka(Manjari Fadnis) and to impress her,he starts lying to huge extent, something he never tried. Gagan on the other hand helps him to cook up fake stories to win over Kanka.

Unique and different
harish-sharma33311 December 2012
I have noticed that all the comic movies came today contain same silly jokes which we had heard earlier,nothing is new,but this movie came with something unique and different with lot of punches and makes you laugh throughout the movie.I m 24 is a movie with different storyline and with great comedy and best thing is with great actors.

Rajat Kapoor in the lead role is fantastic and so is Ranvir shorey. 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.It's hilarious and an adventurous comedy!
