Mark Twain said that "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't."

Sudhir Mishra's film on sexual harassment at the work place is based on a case of sexual harassment filed by the National Creative Head of an advertising agency against the CEO of the same company.

The film starts with the shot of a  the committee set up by the agency to hear both sides of the story and work through the layers of lies and accusations to find out who's really telling the truth and who's lying . 
The film in flash back covers a span of 7 years where we are told about how  the two actors met, their changing relationships over the years , their career graph etc.

Arjun Rampal has acted well and looks perfect as the young and ambitious CEO who thinks that if men and women are working in the same office there is bound to be some harmless flirtations which is actually healthy for the work envoirnment. 

Chitrangada was recently voted as the celebrity having the best hair. In the film she has used different hairstyles to show her transformation  from a budding copy righter  to the  youngest member of the board of directors of an advertising firm. 

The promos of the film where a hot Chitrangada tells a cool Arjun that  “Main aisi hoon nahin, I won’t sleep with you.”  and the news that the film producers changed some words so that the film promo got a U certificate did create a buzz for the film .
It was my love for Sudhir Mishra's Yeh Saali Zindagi (2011)   which made  me go to the theaters with huge expectations . For half an hour the film did manage to hold my attention, but by interval it became so monotonous that we were wondering what the director wanted to show us . I read that director Sudhir Mishra wrote three scripts for the film to make sure that the film went exactly like he had envisioned. If this is true then I think the director was so confused with the scripts that even after we have seen the complete film we wonder who was telling the truth, who was lying , why they were lying and what was the film actually about , their professional lives or private lives.

The film had 5 min of bold acts but watching the remaining 2 hours of the film is sheer torture .
In  a line Inkaar has none of the  power games we saw  in  Corporate or  the love , lust and drama which we loved in  Aitraaz . Avoidable .
Rank- 8  (Out of the 11 films I have seen in 2013 )
