Karthik Calling Karthik(2010) : An edgy psychological thriller

Underrated is the word for this movie. It wasn't exactly dark, but it was edgy.

Schizophrenia is a major psychological disorder and this movie doesn't probe into its intricacies as much as it tries to show a man dealing with it from a thriller angle. The film has pacing issues and should have been edited better, but it was a decent watch and had good songs.

Deepika was too good in the movie. Her beauty eclipsed her performance, but she does full justice to the role of the Bengali colleague who finds love in a personality which is polar opposite to hers.

Farhan is good. My favourite scene is when he confronts his boss after gaining confidence in himself.

The love story between Farhan and Deepika is fresh and sweet.

I quite liked this movie.

This song is amazing

This movie is underrated I think. This was so interesting!

A great film, Farhan was amazing as always, Deepika looked so Beutifull in this film

The scene where Karthik removes the electrical connection of his phone so that he doesn't recieve the calls from the "other him", but still gets a call anyway....and then when he finds out that there are no records of those calls in the telephone department either, it makes you wonder if this is a ghost movie or what.

Loved this film! Will watch it again one of these days. Wish Bollywood would make more such thrillers.

The music was great, too.

yup, it was a very interesting movie. his personality was a perfect candidate too ... cuz he lived in his head most of the time and never got around to materializing any of his thoughts. those calls from his alter ego was like that much needed "kick" to his butt to the way forward cuz he was just too meek otherwise.

it was similar to Ranbir in Tamasha in that sense, when he has a meltdown and starts blurting out his thoughts in front of his boss who he absolutely despised. I'm not sure if KCK did well but I know for a fact that Tamasha wasn't well-received cuz ... well, what can we except from the lowest common denominator anyway.

Wazir was another thriller with Farhan that I loved ... the revelation at the end had me floored. But then again, that movie would fly right past people who don't play or understand chess.
