Karthik Calling Karthik
Farhan Akhtar has made his third appearance on the silver screen with ‘Karthik Calling Karthik’ (KCK). The writer-director of the film is Vijay Lalwani and this is his debutante attempt. KCK has come out as a nice film but the story does not seem to be effective enough. The film was promoted as a modern contemporary thriller teemed with romance. But the film fails to focus on either of the two.
The story shows Farhan as Karthik, a middle-class under-confident young man who works in a construction company. He is in love with Shonali Mukherjee played by Deepika Padukone who is a bubbly, easygoing and happy go lucky architect in the same firm. Karthik is treated as a ‘nobody’ in the office by his boss as well colleagues but he never had the guts to fight it out. He has written exactly 1317 mails to his lady love but he could never forward them.
As the story unfolds, we see that he easily succumbs to pressures because of some incident that took place in his childhood.
All in all, it is not a bad flick to watch but you can give it a miss.
