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.

Good job by Arindam Chaudhuri
dinesh-gupto76527 October 2012
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.

Brilliant job done by all !!!
s-dewan903 January 2013
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.

For love-throw your honesty
ksantosh6482 November 2012
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.

Complete entertainment package
priya-rai1321 December 2012
I really like the title of the movie,and this is the reason why i have seen this movie.Title of the movie I M 24 attracts me the most and as the title is interesting,the movie is more interesting than its title.The story revolves around two guys,one of them was an old man who does not want to do anything with the help of any lie and other was his roommate who always lies in all his works.But one day that old man,ready to cheat and lie to seek love since he is left with no other way.

I M 24 is a complete entertainment package and with the kind of performance Ranvir and Rajat Kapoor have given,it indeed is a must watch.

Full of Entertainment
kanwar-singh55516 November 2012
I have seen all the movies came from Arindam Chaudhuri's Planman production,in fact Do dooni Char is one of my favorite movie. I have seen lot of comic movies and this time I m 24,lot of funny moments came and i enjoyed a lot.The story is based on a guy who is near 40 years and starts liking a girl who is near 24 years,almost half of his age and to impress her he used to lie.They used to chat on internet and don't have any source to find the truth about each other.The girl see perfect man in him as she wants a guy who is stable,successful,handsome.But at the end,as in every movie,truth wins.The subject taken in this movie is very good and contain all the things a movie wants to be successful.

Sweet story with a nice touch of humor
renuyadav6133 November 2012
The film, said to be based on a real incident and for the most part is a sweet story with a nice touch of humor. The actors are a delight to watch especially Ranvir Shorey, who once again delivers a brilliant performance. Rajat Kapoor in the pivotal role is good. This has to be Rajat Kapoor's finest big screen performance till date. He simply slips into the character and doesn't deviate an inch from his graph. Manjari Fadnis is adorable as his love interest. Ranvir Shorey fits the bill as his hyperactive best friend. Sincere acting from almost everyone present on the canvas.On the whole,'I M 24' is a likable, well-crafted rom-com.

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.

one of the best movies to spend you money on!!!
pgupta5786 December 2012
We have seen Ranvir Shorey in lot of comedy movies,and as in other movie,he is the best.The way he speaks his dialogs-everything is really funny & humorous.Lot of comedy with lot of Entertainment. Rajat Kapoor,the main lead role actor,i have seen him mostly in corporate movies and this time in comedy,he is very good.Other than him,Both Neha Dhupia and Manjari Fadnis have also a good job.The movie revolves around Shubendu played by Rajat Kapoor and Kanak played by Manjari Fadnis who wants to be beauty queen.Shubendu meet Kanak in an online chat and starts liking her.To know her,he used to tell lie about himself to her and his roommate Gagan helps him to lie. The story is very simple. Whether it's the struggle of an artist or the superficial relationships in the glamour industry, everything for me is new. The dialogue, fits well at times, Shorey takes the cake with a great performance. Dhupia and Fadnis are good, while Shukla and Ira Dubey are entertaining.It is perhaps one of the best film on which you can spend your money on.

Entertaining !!!!!!!!
sandhyarathi9404 February 2013
I find the movie was very entertaining and advice all my friends to watch this movie in free time.I am 24 is the movie that has something different in it and something that guarantees of many funny moments with good dialogs and perfect star cast.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.

Glad to watch this one
kiran-gupta55526 November 2012
The movie has been written and directed by comedian Saurabh Shukla and stars Rajat Kapoor,Manjari Fadnis and Ranvir Shorey in the role of Shubnedu,Kanika and Gagandeep respectively.The film and the characters are funny,lively and makes you laugh at every second instance.Both actors are superb in their characters.It seems like the character of Gagan and Shubendu was written keeping these two in mind.Manjari is also a fine actress and is good in I M 24 as well.Apart from them,the film stars Neha Dhupia.Music is good and pleasant.Its a romantic comedy and very different from the films that we see today.I have not seen a very good comedy film in a long time but was glad to watch this one. It surely won't disappoint many people.

Best performance of Rajat Kapoor
dipika-mehta88823 November 2012
I m 24,a movie given by Arindam Chaudhuri's planman production,a romantic comedy movie.For me the best part in the movie was Ranvir Shorey.I really like him and have seen all his movie.He is one of the best comic actor is bollywood,i am very big fan of him and always look forward to see his movies.This time he came with one of the best production house of bollywood who gave us lot of very good movies such as doo dooni chaar,which is a emotional touching movie and this time with new concept,romantic comedy movie.Apart from Ranvir Shorey,all the other actors were really good especially Rajat Kapoor.His performance in the movie was best performance in his carrier.

Best romantic comedy movie
susil-kumar88822 November 2012
I m 24 is a comedy movie with lots of adventures,directed by Saurabh Shukla and produced by planman motion pictures.I have seen all the movies given by planman production pictures and all were very good.My favorite was Dosar;the companion.The best part of that movie was,it was in Black and White.Arindam Chaudhuri always takes risks in his movies as he did in his debut movie rok sako to rok lo,by taking all the newcomers and believe me they were really very good.Talking about I m 24,this is one of the best romantic comedy movie i have seen ever.Ranvir Shorey is one of the best comic actor in Indian cinema and he deserves much more.All should watch this movie at least for Ranvir Shorey,he is the best.

Superb brilliance of the actors
guptapriya32122 November 2012
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. Its about the ride of lies which Shubendu starts enjoying a lot.The story is quite simple but acting is superb and that is what makes the film an awesome one.Ranvir and Rajat are seriously superb in the film.I have seen them in many films but this one is very different and the way they have acted is something only they could have done for the film.I M 24 is the film of these two men. People should go and watch the film to see the superb brilliance of the actors.I assure very few people will be disappointed after seeing this funny,romantic drama by the Planman motion pictures.
