Karthik Calling Karthik 5.5/10
This movie could have been so much but just hurried (slowed down). It could easily touch height of 13B but failed miserably.
The problem with this movie is speed. Yes its not constant. Sometimes things are happening so fast that you keep losing track and sometimes its so slow that bores you to death.
And another thing is that, in this movie every major actions are too much.
When Karthik's boss scolds him its too much, he goes overboard, shouts at him in front of everyone even calls everyone and then shouts at him.
When Karthik fights back he also does too much. Threats his boss, mocks him, etc and gets job.
When Deepika ignores Karthik that is also too much. Both of them works in same office for last 4 yrs (small office though) but she doesn't recognize him at all.
When she falls in love with him that is also too much. She starts staying with him, est, sleep all...
When she splits with him that also happens just in half an hour.
You see these all make 1/3 of the whole story now you guess in 120mins duration, they tried to show everything of Karthik's life so all scenes became very speedy.
Then where does it slow down?
Yes, the most un-necessary extension of Karthik and Deepika's in-romance scenes. Why? I'm totally clueless on it. Movie could have been 15 mins short or other scenes could have proper approach, or environment for them to begin and end.
Let me just ignore other loopholes.
Karthik is an MBA (Topper), CA(Topper) but works in a small construction office!!! Why? I just can't imagine this contrast!!!
He donates 5Lacs per month in children orphanage, then how much he earns? 30 lacs? 40lacs? Why does he stay in a small 1BHK then?
His psychologist is treating him for years but don't yet know he is a schizophrenic!!!
Psychologists explanation are as n00bish for his conditions as it would be if I try to write its medical explanation.
All in all a good concept for a thriller but totally wasted.
Farhan as Karthik is the only reason you should watch it and its in "Must watch" thread.
And, when will someone tell Deepika that she can't act and needs to attend acting school.
Rest all are not very much mentionable.
Imagine That 6/10
Okz, have you seen Bedtime Stories? What? yes? Then you may skip this.
This has two different things to offer to you then if you decide to watch it. Eddie Murphy and his screen daughter.
Its always a treat to watch Eddie Murphy, but the child artist has given him a hard time in this movie. Their father-daughter chemistry is very beaulifully portrayed. Iver much liked their diner scene when she cooks pan-cake for him and he eats.
Rest, nothing special.
