Not Just a Glorified Telephone Advertisement


Watched the late night show of Kartik Calling Kartik on a weeknight, and did not regret it. Very watchable thriller, taut script, believable acting and an extremely good looking leading lady. I never really found Deepika Padukone the dusky sexy siren in her initial blunders (read Chandni Chowk ...), but this movie is different. Deepika P in KCK is very HOT.

Can't say much about the supposed color codes for the corporate world. Anyone who has actually worked in a corporate environment will know that it is not all black, white and grey (as depicted in hollywood movies). Think color people this is India, not Eastern Europe. I mean all the office colors and apparel worn by the employees are in metallic shades of these colors. It is very becoming on Vivaan Batena, though, who by the way can beat Farhaan hands down in the looks department. For one, he is a whole foot taller than Deepika, which says a lot for his height.

The novel shots for introducing the cast along with the racy title track prepares you for an edgy movie. The suspense builds up well (after the first 15 mts), although Farhaan's transformation happens a little too soon and appears incredible. I don't know if it is a deliberate attempt to bring focus on a certain brand of telephone. I know I am not going to get that model, in spite of all the features, after watching this movie.
