I saw it and I love it


Karthik (Farhan Akhtar) is an introvert who lacks confidence and feels trapped in his average job at a construction company. He is continuously troubled by an incident from his childhood: His older brother, Kumar, used to torture him, but whenever he complained to his parents, they did not believe him. One day, Kumar took Karthik to a well and tried to throw him in it, but Karthik escaped. Kumar accidentally fell inside the well and died. Karthik has thought himself responsible for his brother's death ever since.

Shonali Mukherjee (Deepika Padukone) is a co-worker at Karthik's company, whom Karthik is secretly in love with, though she remains unaware of his existence, much less his feelings. After being derided by his boss yet again, Karthik figures his life can't get any better and decides to commit suicide. Just as he is about to, a stranger with the same, exact voice as his, calls and says that he is also Karthik, convincing him that he has the ability to change his life. These phone calls become Karthik's life guide. His chats take place every morning at 5:00 a.m. and the caller provides advice on Karthik's problems, guiding him to become a successful man, win Shonali's heart, and bring color to his otherwise dreary life.

However, when Karthik tells Shonali and his psychiatrist about the phone calls, despite being warned not to, the mysterious caller gets angry and tells Karthik that if he could bring him up, he could also throw him down. As per his word, things start going downhill. Karthik's boss throws him out and Shonali leaves him. Karthik decides that if he goes somewhere he does not know, then the caller wouldn't know where he is either and stop calling him. Karthik travels to an unknown place, takes shelter in a small hotel, and asks the receptionist to remove the telephone and room number plate.

The story doesnt end here

Finish the story. Seems interesting
Continue.

It's his alter ego isnt. Sort of like Fight Club

Like mind game movies.

It was patchy at times but overall some good performances were there. The best thing about it was the suspense was kept intact without arousing doubts about the story.

Its not about Mind games, being imaginary and being real...
Shall I post my review here again 😆

its a good and very decent attempt by makers in exploring another area of psychology apart Split personality, which is Schizophrenia and Hallucinations... Nothing was OTT in this movie. it was a simple and clear cut movie...

it helped me a lot in thinking about some questions which I am waiting reply from my Prof and well, it does confirm what my prof recently told me on same topic

Conscious and sub-conscious mind was the main theme of the movie not mind games. It's more of a psychological disorder which haunts Karthik until he breaks down completely and looks for suicide as his last option.

Gonna spoil it now.
1. Karthik has An alter ego. Left record messages on his phone the night before

2. He never had a brother. One of his alter egos

3. Try's to commit suicide and DP comes to the rescue after finding out of his condition. Both try to live a normal life.

I haven't watched the movie but LOVED the songs that used to come on TV. Deepika looked nice with Farhan.
