Rate: 2/5
Kartik (Farhaan Akhtar) is a typical loser: he's frustrated with his job, the girl he likes doesn't even acknowledge his existence, and his confidence is on an all-time low. One good thing is, he knows his life is going nowhere. Bad thing is, he doesn't know what to do about it.
This is Farhan Akhtar's third film as an actor and it must be said that he takes giant strides when it comes to acting. The story throws several challenges at him and fortunately, he emerges trumps in the most difficult moments. This is, by far, his best work.
Deepika Padukone looks bewitching and acts natural throughout. Ram Kapoor is fantastic. Why don't we see him so frequently on the big screen? Shifaali Shah is excellent. Vivan Bhatena is good. Tarana, Vipin Sharma and Yatin Karyekar are serviceable.
On the whole, Karthik Calling Karthik is a decent product with an unconvincing conclusion. Watch it for the wonderful performances of Farhan and Deepika, if you have to. Caters to the youth in metros mainly.
