Car thick calling "Anacin"..

My first attempt at being a critic. Well what can I say when there are even more outrageous first attempts of people falling to new lows. I mean although Rock On didn't do even a tad of justice to its name, it still introduced a talented actor or rather re-introduced Farhan Akhtar in showing a new facet/talent of the guy. Karthik calling Karthik was yet another stereotypical "Bollywood" flick-the kind that gives the Indian Film Industry its name of Bollywood.

An utter disappointment-the first half was highly melodramatic and the dialogues extremely cliched. The typical weak-kneed hero whose low on confidence, low on the power of driving across t he point, hell I say low on life, decides to finally turn the tables on his destiny by deciding to say "No" (wish I could have said that when my friends decided to go for this movie in the first place). Nonetheless, he says "No" in a way to hit back to the cruel society who tries to take advantage of his ever accommodating nature, and destiny says "Yes" by opening his gateway to Kamyaabi ki Bulandi. He gets back his job at 4 times his previous pay package (wish I could get back 4 times the ticket money..at least the parking fee for Chrissake), a "full maal" for a girl friend (pardon my language..on second thoughts don't coz these very words were used to describe his girl friend), and success in general.

However the tables weren't gonna remain turned only once, they rollicked yet again-this time ensuring that Karthik's world becomes topsy-turvy. His confidence goes low and he decides to start working in a Tier III city job leaving aside everything aforementioned (Kismat ki Thokar!). And then what? Well the tables..Yeah. Yet again they turned and this time to try and balance the whole equation of the initial gusto of overconfidence (Kamyabi ki Bulandi) and the following one of underconfidence (Kisamt ki Thokar)..This table-turning brought him everything from the successful days minus the confidence he once exuded. Sounds like a balanced equation..Not quite eh!!

The only punch in the story is what I have missed out on (quite intentionally..to avoid being a party pooper) because I still am but an amateur critic and you my friend the typical ever-accommodating Indian audience (actually me too hence I was found in the movie hall watching this one!). So go ahead and have some fun. Meanwhile I am attending to the call I can't ever miss- Nature's. Nature calling Lalwani!! Here we go..
