Karthik Calling Karthik

This unique movie name, started many funny PJs :P one of them being (Im assuming I have been granted permission for posting your patented jokes :P) 'karthik calling karthik, toh engage tone lagega' :P

Anyway, the promos made me want to watch the movie. The story seemed to be good and different, and so off we went for the movie.Reviews that we heard before the movie were 50% people found it boring, 50% found it out of the box. So with mixed expectations we were all set to experience KCK.

The movie is about a weird call from the same person to the same person. Unbelievable but a nice thought. The movie starts with Farhan being a simpleton, not being able to refuse anything he is asked to do. And then this weird call changes his life. He gets the love of his life and everything is going on smoothly until the day he tells his Shona about this mysterious caller. ANyway, I won't pen down the entire story here, just in case you still haven't watched it.

As for the story, it is a nice fresh concept. It is done well but not very practical. The psychiatrist for example is doesn't help the patient in anyway. A psychiatrist usually listens to his/her patient and very nicely and calmly talks the patient out of his/her problems. But here our doctor says 'Move on.' 'Let me come to your place at 5am to confirm if these calls exist'. Utterly not plausible. Some of the dialogues are nice and witty. The love story is nice but nothing very new. Farhan's acting is no doubt superb. And as for Deepika as usual a little overdone.

The movie gets a little boring in between and it feels a bit stretched towards the end. But overall its a fresh concept which could have been made a little better. A one time watch I'd say.
