You know those films that have a unique storyline, experiment with technique and are defined by that oft-repeated term – hatke. These films are lauded for trying out something new and appreciated for giving audiences a ‘different experience’ at the movies. Karthik Calling Karthik (KCK), probably, has all the above features. But does that make the film entertaining, or even watchable? Hell no. KCK starts off on an interesting note, dazzles you with its brilliant cinematography and eye-pleasing sets and some smart dialogues initially, but eventually suffers with that one ingredient responsible for most bad films – a shabby script. In the end, when the pieces fall together, you really want to ask what the point was after all. Karthik (Akhtar) has nothing going for him – his job sucks, he has no friends and the love of his life, Shonali (Padukone) isn’t even aware of his existence in spite of having worked in the same office as him for nearly four years. Karthik suffers from a confidence problem mainly because he holds himself responsible for the death of his brother when they were little kids. He seeks help from a psychiatrist (Shah) who looks at him from over her specks and mouths dialogues to the effect of ‘yeh tumhara vehem hai’, from time to time.For further: www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/review_review-karthik-calling-karthik-dials-a-wrong-number_1353163
