Being ... ALI HASSAN

When Farhan Akhtar decided to not only act in the movie but even co-produce it your expectations are very high because he is one film-maker who does not cut corners and maintains that storyline is the only hero of the project, so when he decided to come out with "KCK" I wanted to see how the movie would pan out.

KCR in my thinking is a  "OK types" thriller but the core concept of who is calling Karthik is not that believable, I am certainly not going to give away the suspense but don't expect this to be a mind-blowing experience is what I am trying to say. The movie again is good in parts while there are sequences where you are completely engrossed in the flick but at times you tend to lose interest in what is actually going on. The screenplay itself is not that effective and sometimes even the simplest things are not treated as real. (example: In one scene Farhan and Deepika are so drunk that they cannot make sense of what is going on but after a few minutes they break into a long emotional monologue...) and trust me for the first 10-15 minutes you will be super bored until Karthik gets that "call", its only after that you want to find out how this can actually happen but at the end when they reveal the fact about the call you are not impressed and it leaves you thinking "what the $%^&!!"

Anyways i really liked some of the witty lines in the movie and Farhan Akhtar as a complete loser then as a smart-ass and again back to a loser plays his part really well and so does Deepika but I honestly expected a lot more drama which this movie lacks..
