Karthik Calling Karthik !!


This is not a movie review. I saw Karthik calling Karthik by paying Rs. 200 for the ticket yesterday night, felt cheated and well I just thought that if a chinese telephone could take revenge (in the movie) so can i by writing this blog post ;)

After a long time i saw the crowd running towards exit door when finally the movie ended. It is difficult to describe my feelings after the movie was over. It was a mix of disgust, anger, frustration mingled with a growing headache.

Karthik calling Karthik is not just a movie, its a lot more.

While pondering over the movie story and director's attempts at playing with the audience's mind I could understand that there is a greater secret behind this movie. This movie is an attempt by players like Nokia etc. against the chinese handsets which have been capturing their markets off late. What this movie does is create an impact on the mind of the audience in such a manner that they would get irritated and frustrated each time they see a chinese landline or mobile handset. Thus this is a unique competitive strategy (and you thought its just a movie).

Well to think of any learning out of this movie, I would just say that looking at the joy on audience's face when they ran towards the exit doors its true that all bad things come to an end ;)

My recommendation: Take your girlfriend to this movie if you want to dump her or if you are a person of suicidal tendencies watch Ram Gopal Verma's Phoonk 2 instead. Atleast you won't die of confusion.
