I normally do not share my word of wisdom with the world, this is an exception! I am positive by now you have seen the trailers and promotions, if not DO NOT WATCH THEM and get ready to impressed. So I will not be boring you with the story but only what I thought of it.

Karthik Calling Karthik is an exceptionally well made film from the beginning to the end (promise I wasn't paid for this). The story is very well written which grips and demands your attention from the start till the last moment, even the intermission sequence was special. I have to admit before I entered the theatre I had pre-empted view, which was quickly demolished by the film and I was hooked! Now people will be comparing this to Fight Club (great film) or Donnie Darko but believe me it is very different, yes it may share protagonist's similarity but that it is where the resemblance ends.

I found the songs were very well blended with the film sequences and not like "every 5 minutes out of nowhere". There was no "skin show" at all or half naked woman's dancing to grab your attention (see Prince Trailer for this) although there was one sequence with Deepika which I did not mind at all! You can definitely watch this movie with your family. And it's not all serious business there were lots of moments with neat jokes. The love story which is the backbone of the movie was not over done and I thought it was very well incorporated with other parts.

Final thoughts, I loved this movie it is not My Name Is Khan (lots of overdone sequences e.g. Mama Jenny song or Barack Obama speech) or like 3 Idiots (Phunsukh Wangdu). It is a very well made film which is ahead of current Bollywood trend e.g. "pull my finger and find out" or any Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar flicks. Don't get me wrong it has its flaws e.g. some people will totally hate the ending and some people will love it, but for me the story and the acting outweighs its flaws by many, many times. The penultimate question would be will I be recommending this movie to my family and friends over My Name Is Khan or 3 idiots (exceptional good films in their own right) my answer would be definitely yes (but you should absolutely watch those two films, they are great).
