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.

superb romantic comedy film
lol-jack-sparrow19 November 2012
It is the story of a 42 years old man who fall is love with a very young girl.Shubendu is the lead character in the film who is a simple and honest man till he meets Kanka.Shubendu is an a honest man and never tried lying but meeting this girl changes him and his life.He starts lying so that she is impressed.Gagandeep,a very close friend of Shubendu helps him in all this.Soon the movie becomes a funny and interesting ride of truth and lies.Shubendu too enjoys all this.This is IM 24 where the truth does come out at last.It is a total fun filled movie.Rajat Kapoor who plays Shubendu is awesome.He never tried something like this before and great to see him as Shubendu.Manjari plays the role of Kanka and is simply beautiful in the film,both in acting and appearance.One man who stood tall for me amidst all such brilliance is Gagandeep,played by Ranvir Shorey.This man is too good as a comic actor.Bollywood need not worry about a good comedian until he is out there.Music and the songs are superb as well.Hindi films can't do without a good music and the movie as it all.It is a superb romantic comedy film for people who are waiting for a good comedy flick.

Strugglers to attain their desires
sachinchaudhuri1821 November 2012
Filmmaker Saurabh Shukla plays with the idea of human wants very well as he shows two struggler's taking to all means to attain their desires, for one of being a young and successful writer and for the other of being an actor. The film is also a satirical representation of the film world and the lives of the filmy people. 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. Even the comic antics between the trio of Vijay Raaz, the waiter cum struggling actor, Saurabh Shukla, the film producer and Lilette Dubey his secretary is brilliant.

Lives of Filmy people.................
bhramar-singh257 February 2013
I m 24 is a romantic comedy and is an absolute fun to watch..The movie shows the lives of Filmy people and the director knows that common man want to see the filmy dunia in the movie.The main plot of the story is - "Saying the truth was always difficult, and lying, they say, is much simpler..." Rajat Kapoor and Ranvir as Shubendu and Gagandeep respectively are brilliant.Both these men are the pillar of this romantic comedy.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.Really interesting movie and is very unpredictable as the audience have to keep guessing what's next.

I m 24!!!!!
adeshgupta3428 December 2012
I m 24 is a movie completely belong to Ranvir Shorey.He was at his best in the move.The way he plays the role of Gagandeep in the move was just mind blowing.After watching him in the movie,i think i haven't seen the biggest lier in this world other than him and the way he lies in the movie was the best he played till now in all his movies.Other than him,Rajat Kapoor also played his best in the movie.He was in the main lead role and was very good.The reason why this movie is called as i m 24 because Rajat Kapoor plays a 42 year old guy in the movie and lies about his age to a girl whom he loves and told her that he is of 24.I recommend all my friends to watch this movie and all must watch it!

Fantastic movie;fantastic performances.
diptinayak60025 October 2012
I M 24 is a fantastic movie directed by Saurabh Shukla.A full on entertainment with some brilliant performances.It stars Rajat Kapoor and Ranveer Shorey along with Neha Dhupia and Manjari Fandis. Rajat Kapoor and Ranveer Shorey are brilliant and have managed to make the audience enjoy every bit of their performance.Though Neha Dhupia has less chance in this movie to show her acting skills but she is good. For me I M 24 is all about Rajat and Ranveer and their superb acting.The role of Shubendu,a 42years old man has been excellently played by Rajat Kapoor,who is an honest guy throughout his life until he meets Manjari.He is very well supported by Gagan,played by Ranveer who helps Shubendu to win over the young girl's heart.All this tricks and tips involves lot of lies and who better than Gagan to guide Shubendu.This is I M 24 and how everything turns out after so many lies.Watch it guys,you will love it.

romantic comedy movie
rakesh-kumar111662 November 2012
Saurabh Shukla's directed romantic comedy will touch all hearts, both young and old.There are very few movies which contain both the feel,romantic and comedy and this is one of them.'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 other Hindi films, truth wins at the end. Coming over to the performances by the actors, everyone has given their best shot to their respective roles.Cinematographer Fuwad Khan has captured some beautiful locales of Mumbai which is a plus point for the movie.Go and watch this movie leaving all other important work,its worth watching.I assure you,you will not regret your decision.

Better than many of the huge hits of Bollywood
gaunik-singh8722 January 2013
A movie directed by Saurabh Shukla,the movie has been produced by Arindam Chaudhuri's Planman Motion Pictures.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.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.

Rare romantic comedy!
anamikakaur506 December 2012
Its really been long since I last saw a very nice romantic comedy before this.But IM 24 is superb and glad that I actually watched it.Saurabh Shukla has directed a very nice and entertaining film. Ranvir Shorey,Rajat Kapoor,Neha Dhupia and Manjari Fadnis are in the lead.Its about Shubendu,portrayed by Rajat Kapoor,who plays a middle aged man falling for a very young girl.Manjari plays the role of his dream love.Ranvir Shorey who is Rajat's friend helps him in winning over the girl's love back. Neha Dhupia is Sheela and Ranvir's girlfriend.She is really impressive in this one with her good dialogues and comic timing.Its an fantastic romantic comedy and one that should not be missed.

Truth wins at the end !!!
jainv22827 December 2012
I m 24 is a movie which is purely made for all the people who like to watch comedy movies.The movie not only entertain us but also teach us that at the end always truth wins,although lying seems to be easy and interesting but truth has to win at the end of the day.This is a comedy film that revolves around Rajat Kapoor's character,Shubendu. Shubnedu is a funny character and provided lots of fun and humor throughout the film.Another interesting and a very important role was of Gagandeep by Ranvir Shorey. Ranvir Shorey is a talented actor and never fails in making his audience laugh.He just did that in I M 24. The film also stars Neha Dhupia and Manjari Fadnis in the lead role but when it comes to holding the entire film together,it has to be Ranvir and Rajat.

Worth for spending money...
yadavashu64422 April 2013
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.

Interesting title same as the movie
gopal-sharma44410 November 2012
When i heard about the movie,i find the title very interesting and due to its interesting title i have seen this movie.As the title interesting,same as the movie.The best job done in the movie was Ranvir Shorey.He may not be a huge star like Salman Khan but surely a great actor and great entertainer.He has done other type of serious roles in other movies,but i like him in comic roles.Ranvir Shorey is one of the finest comic actors in industry and he is one of my favorite actor.Apart from Ranvir Shorey,Rajat Kapoor is also good in the movie and done an excellent job.Both the other actors Manjari Fadnis and Neha Dhupia are also good.

Watch it to see Rajat Kapoor & Ranveer Shorey!!
ksuresh57129 October 2012
I M 24 is an out an out comedy.Enjoyed watching every scene of he film.I am a movie lover and enjoy every type of movie.Hats off to Ranveer Shorey and Rajat Kapoor for the kind of performances that they have given in the film.Neha Dhupia and Manjari Fadnis have also contributed very well to the film.The songs are really good specially "Do lafzon ki hai",one of my all time favourite track all with a new feel. Saurabh Shukla is the director of this romantic comedy and who else better than him can bring out the best in his actors.I must say Rajat as Shubendu and Ranveer as Gagandeep have played their part in a tremendous manner.It is a great entertainment and at the moment,Bollywood does not have a film better than this for this year.Hope to see such good comedy films more and more.

Shubendu and Ranvir-back bones of the film
shakar-sharma11119 November 2012
I M 24 is a movie for people who love watching funny romantic comedy.The movie has been written and directed by Saurabh Shukla while Arindam Chauhuri's planman motion pictures produced the film.Rajat Kapoor,Ranvir Shorey,Manjari fadnis and Neha Dhupia are a part of this ultimate comedy. I M24 is the story of Shubendu(Rajat) who is a 42years old simple,bald,plain and an honest man.But his honest nature exists only as long as he meets Kanka(Manjari),a 24 years old beautiful girl.He falls for her and in pursuit to impress her and win her love,he starts telling lies.In all this,Shubendu who never lied was helped by Gagan(Ranvir).Gagandeep who is Shubendu's friend helps Shubendu by cooking up fake stories and telling lies.Shubendu,an honest man till now never knew the fun in lying and started enjoying all this.Rajat Kapoor as Shubendu and Ranvir as Gagandeep are awesome in the film.In fact these two are the back bones of the film.

dev-amritesh44423 December 2012
I m 24 is a latest movie by Arindam Chaudhuri's planman production.I always like the movies came from planman production,i have seen almost all their movies,Rok Sako to rok lo,dosar,do dooni chaar to name a few.They always came with something different and this time they came with comedy movie.All the punches in the movie were very new and you haven't seen this type of comedy anywhere.I really like Ranvir Shorey,he is one of the best actor in Indian cinema and is excellent in this movie.The way Ranvie Horey play his character was mind blowing..The movie is a thorough entertainment and Saurabh Shukla has really done a great job this time.

A funny romantic comedy
mohit-sachdev115 November 2012
I M 24 is Saurabh Shukla story and directed by him as well.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. The movie becomes more and more interesting as we watch it on and on.It is a very funny romantic comedy indeed.The music coupled with the performance of Ranvir and Rajat really makes it a good, entertaining, family picture.

good comical plus romantic film.
r-raman42223 February 2013
I am 24 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 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.All in all a great humorous movie and simply brilliant performance by Ranveer Shorey!
