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.

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.

Sweet with certain happy and touchy moments
rinkuyadav-1309 November 2012
I have heard that this movie,I m 24,is based on real life incident and most part in the story is very sweet with certain happy and touchy moments.Ranvir Shorey is excellent in the movie,delight to watch him with Rajat Kapoor.The ending of the movie is excellent,as always,truth wins at the end. Shubendu Roy penning the story of his life and also describes all those people who have been part of it.His Flatmate Gagandeep played by Ranvir Shorey is a liar.Sheela played by Neha Dhupia plays girlfriend of Gagandeep.Shubendu lies to a girl about his age,about his work with the help of his roommate Gagandeep.What happens next,you must see by yourself.

Awesome comedy
goika-kaur8885 December 2012
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.Apart from them,Manjai Fadnis and Neha Dhupia were really good in the movie.I have seen Neha Dhupia in other movie and for me this is her best movie i have seen and best character she has played in the movie.

I have seen all the other movies of Arindam Chaudhuri's planman production and this is the best i have seen.Awesome comedy movie.

Very good chemistry between Rajat Kapoor and Ranvir Shorey
manjeet-kumar3335 December 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 Everything is fair in love and war!That's what Shubendu begins to think.Rajat Kapoor and Delnaz Paul have done a commendable job.Ranvir Shorey's fine acting skills manages to create a comical chemistry that he shares with Vinay Pathak, with Rajat.

The role of Shubendu,a 42 years 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.

A decent but humorous romantic comedy!
akleshkumar6403 December 2012
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. Shubendu Roy, played by Rajat Kapoor, who lives with his friend Gagandeep Mishra(Ranvir Shorey. Shubendu and Gagan are completely contrast in nature.Gagan's world is built on the foundation of dishonesty, whereas Shubendu Roy's doesn't have a world because he isn't willing to climb the ladder of success with the help of lies. But one dark, depressing and lonely night the shy writer virtually bumps into a young girl through a random chat. And Roy's aversion to dishonesty is thrown out of the window, he starts lying, completely guided and supported by his room mate. Suddenly the aspiring screenwriter's life is filled with happy and bright colors; all because of the magic of lying. He has a well-paying writing job, a beautiful friend in Delhi he is in love with, and Gagan's lifestyle also changes for good. The two men are not alone in the madness, they have company of interesting characters like Gagan's lady love Sheela Nair(Neha Dhupia), successful producer/director Nayan Sidhwani(Saurabh Shukla) and his partner Suzy (Lilette Dubey), part-time waiter full-time actor Vijay Raaz and receptionist Mona (Delnaz Paul) in the plot. I M 24 is clearly of a man who doesn't like to lie, but life leaves him no choice.As the saying goes,Love ke liye kuch bhi karega!This is what Shubendu too thinks and adopts the same funda..Rajat Kapoor and Delnaz Paul have done a commendable job.Ultimately truth triumphs in the end and for the rest go watch the movie!It's a very decent film with lots of fun,drama and humor.

Music is really melodious.....
neginatasa31 January 2013
I M 24 is very different from other movies that are made these days and it provides total entertainment.It is the story of Shubendu,a 42 years old honest man.He falls in love with a very young girl,Kanika played by Manjari Fadnis. He is forced to tell lies so that he could win her love in return. The lies and fake stories are made funnier by Shubendu's friend and roommate,Gagandeep played by Ranvir Shorey.The music is really melodious and I really like two songs Abhi Abhi Mere Dil Mein and Dil Ye Pagal Maane.Music composer Jatin Pandit does show his excellence in all of the songs.Here are popular singers, right from Sunidhi to Shreya to Shaan and Sukhvinder, the album hit the mark or even come close to it.

nice entertaining movie.
sandeep-chaudhuri30 October 2012
I M 24 is the latest movie released by the Planman Motion pictures. Directed by Saurabh Shukla,the movie stars Rajat Kapoor,Neha Dhupia,Manjari Fadnis and Ranvir Shorey in the lead role. I m 24 is a very nice and entertaining movie that revolves around a 42 years old man,Shubendu(Rajat Kapoor)who falls for a very young girl, Kanika(Manjari Fadnis).The movie is about how Shubendu,a very honest person till now starts lying just to impress Kanika and also starts enjoying all these fake stories and lies.His partner in crime is the wonderful Gagandeep played by Ranvir Shorey,who helps him to cook up stories and how to tell lies. It becomes more interesting as the story unfolds and really makes a great movie with a good concept and excellent performance. Rajat kapoor and Ranvir are particularly really good and have shown great acting skills once again in this movie.

Must watch movie
ravi-kapoor8887 December 2012
I m 24 is a movie with bunch of actors whom I really enjoy,Rajat Kapoor and Ranvir Shorey,the chemistry they both have shown is just awesome. The movie takes you into the familiar world of Bollywood's corpulent producers and the hangers-on and the ever-hopefuls.

The story is of an old guy 42 year old lives very boring life but one day,he was feeling low,he begins to chat with a girl who is half of his age and started liking her.To retain his love,he begins to lie in front of her with the help of his roommate,who was the biggest cheater in this whole world..... and story goes on....

Must Watch movie.Great Comedy from these actors...

Movie that has something different................
punia-sonam29 January 2013
I Am 24 is a movie given by planman production and is there latest movie.The movie is fully based on Rajat Kapoor's Character and the person supports him in the movie is Ranvir Shorey and done his character brilliantly.Both of these actors are very well supported by Neha Dhupia and Manjari Fadnis.Movie is about a 42 year old guy which only speaks truth in his life but 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. The movie is a romantic comedy and is an absolute fun to watch.The Planman Motion Picture always come out with a movie that is based on a unique subject and I M 24 is again a movie that is something different.

Interesting!!!!
abhra-ghosh221 January 2013
I m 24 is a comic movie and contain many punches which are new and you will not find anywhere.Rajat Kapoor and Ranvir Shorey,who are in main lead role gives commendable performances in the movie.I like both,rather than the actresses Manjari Fadnis and neha dhupia.In the movie Manjari Fadnis plays a role of a girl who is dumb and trust a person whom she had never seen and believe him about his age,his work.Ranvir and Rajat are too good in their role and I would watch this film again and again simply because of the duo's performance. The movie is really interesting and becomes more and more funny as it unfolds.All should watch the movie,its really nice.

iMpressive !!!
vikash-ranchi3311 January 2013
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.

Rajat Kapoor as Shubendu and Ranvir as Gagandeep are awesome in the film.In fact these two are the back bones of the film. Music is good and pleasant.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. Its a romantic comedy and very different from the films that we see today.

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.

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.

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.

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.

All Actors performances are excellent
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.
