Hathoda Beating Hathoda

Well you must have guessed what this post is about, since I was stressed out much due to whole day exam study, I decided to watch Karthik calling Karthik and get a little stretched (since I am missing Episode 20 in HIMYM, so…..), I thought because its Deepika, it would be at least not regretful.

****SPOILER ALERT**** : Following details reveal the suspense of the movie, so those who want to feel the Hathoda please do not read

The movie is about a guy who is losing everything in his life and pretty much reticent, to that extent that everyone uses him. One day when he is about to suicide,a guy named Karthik calls him and decided to help him. His life takes a U-turn and he is on the Cloud 9. But when he divulges this secret to his girlfriend, the phone Karthik does not like this and ruins his life again. He runs to a different city, and back in Mumbai, Deepika and his psychiatrist dig up the mystery behind “Karthik Calling Karthik” and come to know that he is schizophrenic and has been recording conversations and using alarm in phone, and then they help him recover.

That’s it, end of story. Full stop. It seems like movie is going in a right direction until the mid, but then waaayyyy to awkward during the end. That Karthik calling on phone seems like he is Yamraj, his voice is outstandingly villainous. And c'mon, recorded conversations ??? Ok, the concept is good, it’s an all-new concept, but the end disappointed me. It could have been better.

Besides the story, the thing I liked in the movie is Deepika and Farhan’s acting. He is a natural. Any role suits him, this film would basically be a boost to his acting career, but this film won’t do any wonders either a Box Office and the audience.

1 for Farhan’s Acting, 1 for story (not the climax) and 0.5 for Deepika, 2.5/5 would be my rating.
